ive got some px12 ti lifters, basically the same thing as jibs minus the lifter. dont hate them, but i def dont love them. Decent binding for the price tho. the gripe i have with them is that sometimes they are impossible to lock, then again i use them in powder so that could be the problem.

I like mine. I can't really tell the difference between bindings, but they work. im still in tact, no broken limbs or anything. i rip down groomers on them, ski the park, ski some powder, ski some bumps, and everything else. They have held up well, i can't complain

only thing is that, like i think the guy above me said, when i try to pop in, the binding doesnt lock right up, sometimes it does, sometimes i need to stomp my foot down. its not a huge deal though...

if you have to ask about bindings... these are not for you because your probably a noob.. no offense but these are an 18 DIN binding. if you dont know what the px12 is and its specs then your not even gonna be riding a binding that has 18 din.

mine were fine for like one and a half seasons and both tracks broke. Not bad for the money and look is legit with warranties.

If you have to get a px series binding, go for the new ones with the wormscrew heels.  The mounting pattern is much shorter, and the heels are reinforced with much more metal. They make them down to 12DIN as of this year, where in the past 15 was the minimum

Fairly decent park binding, heavy though, and brake snappage is common, I've destroyed 3 brakes in 2 seasons.

jester/griffons all the way for me... they will let you spin fast and be faster edge to edge.

i figured that was all hype and hogswallow but it really wasnt. i was clownin hard on em the first day out.

they are awesome. I''ve got them on all my skis and I love them. I'm an aggressive skier that is on the small side at 5 foot 3 120 pounds with a boot sole length of 266 and I ride them at a 7. I've never released when i don't want to and always when i needed to. Don't buy marker freestyle bindings. I work in a rental shop and all they do is pre-release about 50 times a run. The dukes, griffons and that series are an awesome binding but the cheaper freestyle bindings that i have seen are a terrible choice for anyone who can carve and is out of the snowplow.
