Hey Newschoolers heres the deal:
I just bought line afterbangs (the skis i have been drooling over for months) with lots of hard-earned money and i am debating between these two bindings. i can get each one for less than $100 so price isnt really a problem. i am a advanced beginner and can land 5's and switch 3's and that sort of stuff but the bindings i had last year gave me a bloody nose when i landed a 180 off a super small roller. i REALLY dont want that to happen again and i have heard that griffons are good and that griffons are bad so i just want a straight answer. LOOKS OR GRIFFONS!!!????
thanks so much for everything +KKKKKK for bumps or help!

well the big complaint of griffons is they're plastic and are less durable than jesters. px 12's have the dildo heelpiece that rips out on people. Between the two I'd say griffons, but I'd try and get some tyrolia/4frnt  or fks 12

Go with he said about the Tyrolia/Head/4FRNT Mojo 15s, or the FKS 12.  But don't go with him about the Griffon part.  I have a friend who charges really hard and he loves his PX12s.

I have Look Px12 Jibs and I can't complain.  Always pop out when I need them to, durable after hiking for hours (snapping in and out of them constantly), and very solid.  They are a bit heavier than the Griffons though.
