Not sure if the embed thing worked.

but I want to remove the risers and the mid piece, and just have the heel and the toe piece on the ski.



Is that possible with those bindings?

They're skis that have been in storage for 4 seasons.

mainly race and traditional and touring, etc bindings have the rail in the middle. if you want ones that are just two seperate pieces, you should sell those and get some freestyle bindings like griffons or sths or look pivots

those look like demo bindings to me. so no, the riser is actually what is bolted to the ski.

looks like the bindings are integrated into the plate, which in this case, means you cant take the riser off.

why do u want too anywho? just leave them on dude, if you are using these sticks this season the risers will help get some ankle and hip movement out of ur turns, they wont hinder ur skiing in anyway.

but do urself a favour, take those skis to ur local ski shop and get a tune up on the base and edges cause u wont be moving anywhere fast from the looks of the edge

These go to 9, which is part of the reason I don't want them.
But don't have 200 bucks to spend right now, due to christmas and my pass and stuff.
