Do you guys have any feedback for the Marker Griffon 12s. I weigh a little over 130 pounds, ski mostly park but bumps and everything else as well, and ski pretty aggressively. I am planning on mounting whatever binding I get on the Liberty LTEs.
Thanks you guys so much.

I had the griffons last season. Thetre all around really nice bindings and very light. I'm heavier so i have jesters now but for you the griffons should be very nice because yu dont need as high of a din

Thanks all
I appreciate it.

At this point I think I am leaning towards the Marker Griffins

get them, they are really light, have very low swing weight (that's why the nose piece is so funny looking), pretty durable (not as durable as the jesters) and don't feel bulky when you're skiing on rails and stuff.

I love the Griffons/Jesters.  I love them.  So light and durable!  Hold you in when you need to be held in, and release at the right point.

I am now planning on it

By the way, thanks to everyone for helping me choose my skis as well as by bindings, especially Flashkick101$, to whom I gave 10/10 karma rating (I gave a lot of you others 10/10 too).
So yeah, thanks.

Just one more question though, would you guys recommend me getting the marker Griffins center mounted on the Liberty LTEs or what?

never been on Libertys before, or know the dimensions... But I do know that they were perfect on invaders for me.

Griffons are perfect. Id mount them dead center just from what you've been describing.  Also go with the 90mm brakes. 110 would be way to big if you were thinking about it.

Depends on how much rail time you'll have (I don't remember what you said last time). If it's a good amount then center mount would be awesome on that ski.

and thanks for the karma by the way.
