yeah ur in the right weight range where u wouldnt need the jester, unless u crank ur din up to like 10, then i would suggest the jester, but ur din setting is probably around 7 on the chart, but im sure u will crank it to about 8. This years griffon is lower on the ski, and has a closer contact with the boot on the toe piece

I'd suggest the jester if your looking at marker bindings for park riding, it has metal wings and heel tower, where as the griffon has composite (plastic).  However the design flaw in both is the small plastic toe mounting plate that tends to break when the toe receives an impact.

I stripped the screws for the griffons. the front toe piece is only held in by two screws, but it was easily fixed. I think you could go into jesters

you gotta unscrew the 2 screws and slide the toe out to get to the other 2 screws.
