I just bought some 08 line invaders and am not sure what binding I wanna get for them so some suggestions would be awesome. Thanks!

Please provide more info, it's like saying 'hey i just got my license, what car should I get'

What type of skiing, height/weight, how hard are you on bindings, what DIN do you need, how much can you spend etc..

well when buying a car ppl have preferences so I was just wondering what preferences you all had for bindings. i'm 5'7 168, mainly for park since I have other skis for all mountain and price doesn't really matter

Jesters are overkill. Griffons would be sick and make a very light setup (I have jesters and they are incredably light). A cheaper option and incredabley durable are any of the px12 line from look/rossi/dynastar. should be able to get them new for 100-120usd. griffons are gonna be about 180

umm... lets see..... NO. get px12's for half the price. no need for a high din binding when you weigh 168 and dont charge lines in AK.

idk everyone talks how good the jesters are but a guy on my mountain rip one of his out of his helllbents and never found that ski again... plus there is a lot of plastic on the toe piece and doesn't look as strong as some rossi s

PX12's bro.

although the jester is hands down the best binding in the world its not worth the money IMO just to be put on your park ski, this is the kinda binding you put on a ski like hellbents or ep's.

i ride the PX12's this year on my park skis and I LOVE THEM!

search ebay and buy some fks. I and a lot of other people out there swear by those bindings. Good investment too: they're super bombproof and will last you forever.

Ya, I watched a pair break on a 5 foot jump.  Kind of crappy.  Jeff Straight broke his and he is tiny...
