getting bindings for my hellbents and need some tips on what to get.
usually I ride fks/p18 on all my skis but I will not take the time to bend the brakes this time.
that being said I ride pretty agressive and I need a binding that keeps up with a little beating.
k+ for solutions

oh, will the wide p18 fit the waist of the bents? 122mm right?

You need to be careful when doing that. If the cuffs on the bottom of your pants have holes in them the brakes, being bent and sticking out, will get stuck in the holes sometimes. Happened to me and I learned the hard way.

P18's would be my first choice for an aggressive rider, but those are gonna be hard to get hold of. My next choice would be STH16s/s916 or Mojo 18's.

I would definately look at Jester Schizos if youre comfortable with bending the brakes, theyre made for control on wider skis plus the Schizo models slide back and forth so you can slay the pow pow and still take centerbounds to the park.

i have the PX14s RACE (same as a rossi SAS 140) with a 120mm stock break on mine and they fit. have not had the pleasure of skiing them yet. but the brake does fit. and the construction seems pretty bomber on the actual construction of the binding.

I have bent 3 or 4 pairs of p18 the last two years, and what happens when you have a waist wider then 110 you get very short brakes. also the stock brake is very thin and cannot take alot of beating. I have broken 2 sets of brakes when releasing going switch in the groomers.

Currently I cannot pick up stuff from the US stores, so if anyone wants to get me a pair Id be happy to buy them.
