So my bindings self destructed when i tried to 3 this little roller yesterday.
I am 6'0 150lbs my din is around 7 and I ski mostly park, im not the most aggressive skier. I need a binding that can hold up for a long long time and will be able withstand hard falls.

I have narrowed it down to Px 12's or Griffons. Any other suggestions will be taken and +k for good responses

FKS 120's.
Ten times better than Griffons or any binding in the PX series.

10/10- I remember reading on here that not all shops have mounting plates or something like that for fks? Should this be a concern since i live in illinois and the shop here sucks

I would bet that you shop has FKS plates. If they cater to racers at all chances are they have them.

I don't know if you're referring to calling your shop or Start Haus, but I would do both if I were you just to be sure they have the bindings in stock and your shop has the ability to mount them.

Side note: Even if your shop doesn't have the correct plates, someone there (or even yourself) could mount them freehand. With a little help and a little knowledge it's not hard at all.

Nice man!
Pretty confident you'll love em. Vertical release on them is very nice and extremely predictable.
