hey guys, so I need help choosing bindings to go on my green lifes. at my immediate disposal I have px-12 jibs and some old fks courses. the only thing about the fks' is that I'd have to bend the brakes for them to fit. should I just say screw the rossis and mount the px-12's, or just get new bindings altogether? I was looking at griffons...

Also I'm wondering how far back from center I should mount them. I definitely don't want to do true center, I was thinking something like 4-6cm back. your thoughts??? just looking for some helpful advice

I want to set them up for like 60% all-mtn and 40% park. enough tail so that I can spin evenly but not so much that they get caught on moguls (that shit ever happen to you on center mounted skis?)

i would go with the griffons they are a solid binding for everything you want to do. i canter mount all my skis and i don't have problems with it but its all personal preference.

Agree with the FKS response.

As much as I like the AXIAL heel piece, I would not recommend a px-12 as it is still a "composite" binding. That's the one thing that turned me away from purchasing it. I don't feel like would last as long as I'de like it to.

I went ahead and bought the px14 ti. SUPER solid binding, but it carries a heavier price tag.
