you could do it on the t halls and basically just say how they are tanner halls pro model and hes a legend etc.

OR

you could do it on the squires and say they are the "safest bindings" just make something up

First of all, wrong forum.

Second of all, why are you asking our opinion... isn't it your project?

Third of all, unless your commercial for the Squires is going to talk about how bad they are, it will be a straight up lie.

ok squires dont actually suck too much ive skied 15+ days on them mounted on my halos and done good sized jumps and even some pow and they have held up and are still like new i dont think the hate behind squires was justified

It is justified.

Doesnt it go Jester-griffon-squire. I have the griffons and consider them pretty cheap.

ive been using jesters for the past 2 seasons, and i love them, i work at a shop and get to fuck around with shit all the time....the squires feel like they r made of legos, anyone who skis hard and is over 150 pounds should not buy them

They are rated for 130, but 100 seems more reasonable.

Brakes have nothing to do with it. And how do you bend a brake buttering?

This thread probably doesn' t belong here...but good luck with films...

Let us hijack this and turn it into critique of the most awesome binding ever...the....marker.....

Nah Squires are for fad conscious sub 120lbs newbie  skier. But they come in nice colors at least.....

I hear the Tour is awesome though.....HA! Right.

You must be an exceptionally smooth skier....I hope they last you as long as possible.

I know some people who bought them because they assumed that the Squire was just a pricepoint version of Griffons. How misguided. The Squire is design to handle the demands of lighter and smoother skiers. The demands of an aggressive and heavier skier will overwhelm these bindings easily, as some of my friends did.

I always recommend newbies the px type bindings. They are more cost effective and will endure more than the squires.
