The truth with marker is that you have to buy there ''good'' bindings if your planning on jumping, rails, or generaly putting larger then average forces on there bindings. Now, marker makes some great bindings, just there low end, and middle of the line bindings wont really hold up for a jibber, granted they work fine for recreational skiers (matter of the fact is they are the best bindings out there, Ive tested thousands of pairs, and markers are the most consitant for release).
What you need to find are a set of comp 1800's. With the step up from the 1400, you get more metal components, higher din, and no upward toe release, which eliminates pretty much all prerelease commen with lower end markers. Most people spend there 4,5,6 hundred bucks on there sticks, then cheap out and get eather what ever clamps are on sale, or whats cheap, which is your first mistake. Your jibbing, your putting some serious force on a binding, buy the most expensive binding out there, it will be strong, have a higher din range, and hold up to the abuse that we jibber put on our skis.
Thats really one of my pet peeves, when someone comes on newschoolers about how they broke there binding, when its something like a salomon c608 recreational binding. its not ment for jumping. buy the appropreite equipment and you will be fine. When was the last time you have seen a broken comp 1800 or look zrs? me?... never.
