What is the absolute best binding?

I need to choose bindings, and I'm just wondering which binding is considered the best for freeskiing. I definitely want something that is light

Many people including me use the Salomon 810 bindings and love them. 912s are also great but more expensive and not much need unless you need a higher din setting.

salomons have a severe problem with pre releasing, and also the titanuim gets very weak when its cold.

what the hell is the difference between the Look p12 jib and the Look p12 jib wide

they are both the same prices, so it makes it even more confusing, does anybody know the difference between them

Uh... the jib wide might have wider brakes? Donno. By the way the scratch 140 is the *best* binding for freeskiing... but not the lightest. And it doesn't have a noticeable advantage over the p12 jib or the scratch 100, depending on your weight.

wide has a wider brake for fat skis

^ The difference would be in how wide the brakes are, me thinks, a standard width for most punter skis, wide for powder skis (80-85mm and up, usually, varies).
I like the Rossi scratches, which are the same as the axials but without the lifter plate, I think, could be wrong. They are designed as a race binding, but lowering the foot gives less leverage to carve with, but makes landings easier.

there are basically 2 really good bindings the way i look at it. the look/rossi p10/p12/jib/120/140 (so many but pretty much all the same) and the salomon 810/912/ti (ti available in both, plus the 'pocket rocket 912ti comes w/wide breaks).
essentially 2 different bindings. the looks/rossi are better and more expensive bindings, as far as durability and probably safety goes. The salomons are lighter and cheaper. With the ti models, yes a titanium piece has been known to break but go to a shop if/when it does and instead of getting a titanium piece, ask for an aluminum one. they do make it. very little difference in weight, as the piece is very small.
saying all that, i prefer the lighter salomons. I have 810s on my 1080s and 912ti wide breaks on my pistols. The din doesn't go high enough for me (10.5) on the 810 so I have release problems, but the 912tis are amazing. Pick salomon if you care about weight and price, look/rossi if you care about durability and don't mind spending a little more.
I feel bad for people who don't drink, cause when they wake up in the morning, thats the best the're going to feel all day

I use Salomon S912-TI bindings. They're great and not to mention priced hella cheap- 250$usd for a brand new PAIR. Got em online from REI.

asking which binding is THE BEST for park would be like asking which ski is the best park ski. There's a number of really good bindings for park skiing, which is best is really a matter of personal preference.

There is a troublemaker binding. My friend rides on it and they are dope, but anything that looks like the look binding works, because heel pivot is really good to have.

no the 'troublemaker' binding is the look p12 jib and thatbinding is awesome, it sits flat on the ski for your boot to sit flat. i would say it is the best park and jib binding but probably the normal p12 would e best for big mountain

I would stay away form Salomon bindings they have a tendence to realse if you don't land a spin the right way. I switch from S7 10's to the Rossi Power 100's and i haven'y looked back they are amazing.

Anyone who rides a din at higher than 10 in the park are asking to break a knee. go with salomon 810 ti's.

810s break, prerelease and had the worst report of any major binding from consumer reports. plus, you should never have your bindings on maximum DIN. If you want a 9-10 DIN, get at least a max DIN 12 binding.

^yeah you should never have your DIN on the highest setting
i love p12's and they're really safe and never prerelease

There is actually a difference between the look and Rossi bindings, something to do with toe release points, but I don't think it matters very much.

Solomons are terrible, do not get them. They pre-release all the time, and fall apart. Look or Rossignols are the best. They are the same bindings, so its doesnt matter which. I have the Look P14s. But the P10s and P12s are great too.

I love my solomon's if they are set up right you should not have any prerelease problems. It is a good design. I have p 10's also and although the solomons are getting pretty beat i still like them better.
