instead of making a new thread i will reformat this one should i buy a pair of new px12 jibs for 130 or save for a pair of new jesters

i ski 80% park 20% everything else im around 160 and around 59 ( havent measured those in along time)

so the question is are the px12s just as good as the jesters for what im doing??

jesters are 1000000000000x better than px12s. px bindings are garbage.

friend one with px12s: broke heelpieces on both bindings (different occasions) just doing park rails.

friend two with px12 jibs: broke toepiece completely off doing a frontflip (so funny!)

friend three with px12s: they pre-released off switch hits and spins onto rails. DINS were set at 10 and he weighed 150-160

myself with jesters: never had any of these problems, nor have i heard of anyone with these problems.

p-series or fks bindings, on the other hand, are dope. turntables are legit, but px bindings are shit.

possum, if you don't wanna spend that much on jesters, i'd say try to find any turntable binding. i've seen a few threads for fks 12s around the forum... get those if they're not too expensive. i ski fks 155s and p18s and love em. there's a reason why everyone who has them hates to get rid of them and why everyone who doesn't have them wants them. but jesters are pretty dope too...

Solid argument.
I would compare Jesters to px15's or 18's but not 12's. In saying that they are in a different price range and designed for different purposes.

Agreed on the pivot & fks series being better/more effective/durable than px - I haven't seen such bad experiences with the px12s like you explain though.

As for your mate prereleasing at a din of 10 on a switch hit - well that could very well have been a forward pressure issue..anwyay it doesn't matter.
As for your mate who pulled out a toepiece, well that isn't a binding issue. That is more often an issue with the ski or the mounting. In any case the toepiece hasn't really changed much across the P/PX/FKS anyway.
I think px12s represent good value for money if you are a medium weight skier who isn't throwing 10's and who doesn't want to cough up top dollar for a binding like jesters\

thanks. i knew you'd agree.

and it wasn't the mount that came out. the platform actually stayed on the ski. it was the ACTUAL toe piece that completely broke off instead of the ski coming off or the binding ripping out. he came up short on a front flip and the thing popped off like 20 feet in the air. it was hilarious. but he couldn't ski the rest of the day...
