No you are going to want something with more beef in them. Salomon Driver Series would be prime. Lots of others too

SOO I have 3 pairs of skis, and a pair of boots. skis are hellbents with deadbolts, scimitars with fks, and scratchs with fks. Currently I have 28 Seth's. I can get a good deal on a pair of rossignol sensor 130's and was wondering if the bsl on the FT is 318 and the bsl on the rossignol on the 317 would be a problem. I have no gotten the fks' yet due to them being proorder now for employees, but am unsure of the adjustment in the heelpiece. I'm assuming I should be able to use both boots with all the skis interchangeable with minor adjustments, I just want to make sure before I buy them...

If i read that right we are talking about 1mm which isnt anything to think about really aslong as its not already ALL the way at the front, which i doubt.

quick n00b question, are 90mm brakes made to fit skis up to 90mm or they simply measure 90mm. For instance, would STH12 90mm fit K2 domains? Or I'd have to get 100mm brakes?

Okay. So I just bought a pair of bacons last years model. Dimensions are 142/115/139. And I NEED to know what bindings I should put on them. I'll mostly just be skiing the resort and some slack country stuff. I seem to have trouble finding a pair of bindings thats brake will fit over my skis. I have a nice pair griffons on some invaders that are practically shit. The ski just don't fit me anymore too. I'm wondering what would be some options for me? As in binding wise. What's a good binding that would suit me well? Oh I'm 135lb and I would say a aggressive skier.

FKS140 or Look Pivot 14 with the XXL brake, which I believe is 115mm so should fit straight on those skis.

So I just had my first day on my griffons and I noticed that my breaks seem to be a little misshaped:

The top of breaks are kind of slanted now, is this anything to worry about?

halp, could I successfully dye these goggles purple? I know you can only go darker in color, but these are sort of a mix and I feel like it would work. +k

Which lens is more black?

The smoke silver chrome lens?

OR

The smoke lens?

Ya. I'm retarded. But i don't know if the chrome/silver lens is more of a mirror than black. Or if the smoke lens is just a transparent lens.

Got some used park skis, need to put some binings on them, they are drilled for griffons, so i could either A, drop 150 on some griffons so they only have one drill, or B, put some other bindings on them creating a second drilling.... thoughts?

I'd say griffons, 150$ is a very good price for them, and they do fine for most people. If you are like, over 150lbs and real aggressive then mabeye not.
