I have a pair of brand new FKS 155's i bought for a pair of brand new line chronics. I want to use them for all mountain, switch and park.
When i went to get the bindings mounted the guy said that my FKS are for slolom, but he would trade me for a new pair of jesters if i wanted to.
Basically what i want to know is --- 1) are my FKS 155's not going to be good for all-mountain, switch and park? 2) Would it be a better coice for me to take the Jesters for what what i want to do with them?? 3) Is tradinf brand new FKS 155's for Jesters worth it???
What should i do?? i need some good advice

Forgot to mention, the guy at the ski shop said for riding switch and doing spins the FKS would not be good because of the rotating heel plate.... is this true??

screw the shop guy, he just wants them for himself. Jesters cant touch FKS 155s, keep them and ski happy.

i dont see the point of using a touring binding if you're not going to be touring at all. the fks will be great, don't know what your shop guy is talking about

ok, sounds like fks will be fine for what i want to do.
My next question ishow can i bend the brakes out without messing it up, since it looks built into the heel plate??
