Replying to Marker Bindings Suck!
2 Years ago I got a new pair of skis with some brand marker bindings, my first twin tips and these were the bindings recommended at the shop. So I'm out that winter and land switch, but my balance is forward and I pop out of my ski; no problem right? Wrong. The brake comes out with my boot and my binding needs an entire new brake. Whatever I have the warranty so they hook me up (It was the end of the season). I did not think much of this, just that it was a rare occurrence. Next year I'm tra la la ing along and try a trick that once again requires me to land switch. Weight forward, I pop out and the brake comes with me. I decide to keep riding but to take it easy because of the lack of a brake. (Side story last trick I wanna go big, lifts are closed and my friends all went down already. I fall and ski goes down the entire mountain into like 4 ft. of powder. I find it after an hour.) Well, I knew I wanted new bindings then but the guy at the shop insists those are right for me, and I have the warranty so they are free. Well, I was just out on a summer jib I built and, after I landed, did a nose butter and the stupid brake broke off. I have scratch 120s on my other skis but sheesh, Markers suck. Don't ever waste your money on them. They will break over and over and kill you.
p.s. on a totally different pair of my markers on another set of skis the entire back 1/2 of the binding fell off at one point skiing this year. wtf.
