Should I buy Dynastar PX 12 Jib Ski Bindings?

Hi guys,

I'm thinking of buying the above mentioned bindings, cuz i found them on a site for 90 bucks new :)

Anyway, heres some data about me

I am just under 6 foot
155 lbs
i've been skiing for 12 years
I'm going to mount the bindings center mount to a pair of 168 dynastar troublemakers, the LE kind... they have a waist of 80 so the jib bindings will fit nicely...

HOWEVER,
These skis will be dedicated to some of those all park days, unless i just can't stand the drop in of a few mogul runs or glades from time to time during the day ( Besides, I already have a pair for all mountain---- 179 silencers at the 'recommended' mount position)

So, what do you guys know about these bindings, and should I get them for a heavily park oriented but some all mountain ski?

As always, thanks a lot you guys. NS rules

I had a good experience with this binding. They lasted about a year and a half and then broke. You are a pretty light guy so they should be alright.

How hard do you ride? Are you hitting big jumps or just progressing on smaller stuff?

i am known to do like 30-40 footers... but as for now, my best is only 360s over that... (hoping to get to 7's by the end of this season) but yea i really got into park only in the past 2 years, so i still have a long way to go progressing on rails and anything like that.... how noticeable is the jib's built in spring system?

I wouldn't personally, I hate them, they're heavy, unreliable and the brakes are constantly braking.There are much better bindings out there for just as much money (look into the Tyrolia style bindings - much more durable and really light).

I have these mounted my ARVs and love them... I ski pretty hard in the backcountry and park and they didn't never let me down last season. I'm 5'11" 175lbs and had no pre-ejaculation problems. They have held up really well and I wouldn't think durablility would be a problem over two seasons. I would definitely recommend them.

i know this guy is super legit but these binding are super legit, even thought there a tad bit heavy thats the only thing that i had a problem with.....

iv skied on 2 sets of them(on differnt skis) and both have held up for about 2 seasons each and nothings gone wrong with them!

I still can't get over Tryolia's past. I have had terrible experience with them and would never be able to recommend them to someone

Im 5'7" 145lbs, would these binding work on Atomic Punx(not sure what year they are)? I'll just be progressing on small stuff. Only my second year of skiing.
