Line bindings

I'm looking for some binders.  I've got a local guy selling some line bindings.  Don't know model, but I've heard Line went a few years with some crap bindings, anything good or bad to say about them?  let me know.  Or if you have anything FS, looking to stay around 100-150.  Mounting on 1080 foils (110 width I think). Thanks

WHats this I hear about solly foils being 110 width?  Anyway, Don't buy the reactors! they have awful durability.    This reminds me though, that Line or another company should TRY IT AGAIN! with  revised design but still with a turntable toe piece and interchangeable parts, I'd so buy it.  It's be agodsend for quiver owners, being able to pay 25$ for a base plate instead of 2-300$ for a full setup.  Industry gods hear my plea

Definitely do not buy them. 

On another note.  I would love to see LINE try it with bindings again.  Maybe work in correlation with Marker and make something super awesome.

they were a great idea back then but they didn't really hold up well... you would also need a mounting plate to be drilled into your skis just so you can use them... so yeah, don't buy them.

 about the width....that def didn't look right, but I didn't see it anywhere on the ski and so I searched them and that is what I found....they don't look that wide tho....anybody know what they are so I can get a proper binding?  sorry for the ignorance.  My wife bought them for me last year cuz I am contemplating evolving with the sport.  I come from the daffy/spread eagle days and I can do a mad twist/ spread combo lol.  I'm trying here.  The mountain sucked this last weekend so I figured I'd give-in to my self talk and evolve.  So I hit the park...but it hit me way harder.  My left thigh so bruised.  Those rails are way harder to slide than they appear.  So this prob belongs in ski gabber, but if there is any constructive advice for a binding and/or how to hit a rail properly it would be much appreciated.

K2 next year bro, they call it schizofrantic™ and they paired up with marker to make bindings for their skis that you can move back and forward for what kind of terrain you're riding, its just like how snowboard bindings screw in and there are two mounting points, center and traditional for pow, you can also switch bindings from ski to ski, pretty sick. they offer it on the extreme, kung fujas.. maybe obsethed and hellbent i forgot

If k2 is trying to do inserts like there are in snowboards i think its really useless. IMO unless the majority of the ski industry conforms to inserts and insert-able bindings then most consumers will forgo the option. Like when line did the inserts thing i just felt like it totally limited me to only line skis and line bindings (even though they had that insert plate thing for other skis).

But who knows, I think i heard AMPLID is doing something similar, and if K2 also does it maybe they can gain momentum and make it popular.

It would be sweet if other companies started doing it too, hopefully it goes industry-wide. K2's main purpose for doing it is so that you can move your bindings back for pow and forward for park, not so much on interchanging skis, although you can also do that.

Why would you need to change mounts on those skis?

They are black griffons with a green spring and it is offered on the Obsethed, Hellbent, Extreme, and the Kung Fujas. The skis will also be offered in "schitzofrantic" and "flat" which means you can get the ski with or without the inserts. On a side note K2 has added reverse camber to the Kung Fujas its very small something like 5/30, much like the moment reno rocker.
