Hey, i am buying my second pair of park skis wich are the Liane Anthems with Marker Jester Bindings . And i was wondering if the bindings are nice i've seen a few people with themand they look pretty good But would they work on the Anthems and are the good Bindings.

Heres a link to the bindings.

I really want to be an asshole and say search bar, but i wont.

Whats your weight and skiing ability, cause i have the griffons on both my park and pow skis and their absolutely amazing. I'm around 5'10 160 pounds and i ski fairly aggressive and their plenty of binding for me. The only difference is the Jester has metal toe wings and metal heel piece,and a higher din. Which in many cases most people dont need a din over lets say 12? But depending on your skiing ability id go for the Griffon, Same exact binding, no difference in performance, just incase you have a bad fall or you ski harder or weigh more, theres no difference in the two really/

You only have 6 posts, so you should probably go with the griffon, seeing that someone with such low posts would never need anything over 12 din.  I mean I have just over 100 posts and ski 14 din binders, so u would have to work your way up, smell what I'm steppin' in..........

haha, i've worked my way up to din 16 now

my bindings also happen to be jesters.  i haven't had any problems with them so far, no prereleasing, no brake problems, and they keep my boots locked in tightly.

how many posts do you need to be able to rock fks?

No actually once you get up to 2000 posts  the same thing goes into effect, just in reverse, because u spend way to fucking much time infront of ur computer sitting on ur ass that there's no way that u could have enough time or muscle tone to be that good of a skier, between here and TGR.......LMAO...Gotcha
