Anthems are legit, they're wide but also dope for park so they're always a good choice!

so would the sallys go better with invaders or px12. cuz i think i want a more durable binding because the invaders lightness would make up for the px12s  weight

marker griffon bindings are exreeeemely light although price they are very durable and will withstand a lot of beating up and hard landings, etc. i see you have already chosen your ski but i was going to give you my input on the volkl walls, i have ridden the walls for alst 2 years, both versions and the ski is fairly stiff, it is solid in the park and very durable but not soft enough for buttering compared to the other skis you mentioned. i say go with the sth12's if you are not considering the griffons becuase of $$ or if you can find some online then go with them, you wont be disappointed. i have them on my walls and they are wayyyy lighter than my rossi scratch 120 bindings + 181 rossi ghettos, and my walls are a 185..whats that say.

the rossi 120s are very similar to the px12s too, both solid bindings. hope this helps man

i was thinking about getting walls, but they seemed too much of a park oriented ski so i went with the ar6.

ok so if i get invaders... which i probably will because i live in the midwest and the price of the walls and the ar6s are a little to much . is their a certain binding that would go better with the invaders? And remember im stuck between sallyy sth 12 and px12 jibs
