I am switching from snowboarding to skiing this year and just picked up some line afterbangs for super cheap. I feel like i am going to be an advanced/expert skiier by the end of the year because the kids i ski with will definitely help me out (2 or 3 of them can dub) So my question is, which bindings would be good for the park in the long run for under 200$ bucks? Thanks NS.

Look/Rossi/dynastar px12's. The jib version would be best but any would be fine. For park skis, if you get the lifters, I would recommend mounting without the lifter plates

Everyone's Look PX suggestion or the STH 12 OS are your best bet at $200 but if you were willing to jump up to $230 your options really open up.  At that price you can go to the Rossi Freeski2 120 which gives you a 12 DIN and a metal reinforced heel, the Marker Griffon which is all composite but holds up pretty well for riders under 160lbs, the Tyrolia Peak 12 which I don't have experience with but seems to fit the bill and I know a few guys that ride the Peak 15 and really like it, or the Atomic FFG 14 which is the Salomon STH 14 OS with a better paint scheme.  Here's a link to a few.

Look px 12 is great. I had the sth 12 last year and they sucked.. Always released for no apparent reason no matter how much I cranked up the din. A lot of people had trouble with them. Head mojo 12s are nice also.

i currently have the sth12s and had this problem my din was maybe abit lower than it could have been with them but even so anytime i landed slightly forward when landing switch i popped out, it made learning 5s super hard...

A bit more than 200 but the Tyrolia peaks are some of the best bindings. Besides that, look px 12's
