From the @Freeskier twitter feed:

"Just heard from a little birdie that @markerbindings has signed @TWallisch to the team. Congrats on the new partnership!"


But in seriousness, good for Tom. I'm actually quite surprised it took this long for him to pick up a binding sponsorship since leaving Amplid.

The Jester PRO is in a league all it's own in the Marker brand, it's made to take way more abuse than the regular Jester, plus it's 2 DINs higher (it's an 18 vs a 16 DIN binding), and it has more metal in it. To be honest, I'd personally pick it over any binding currently on the market for park (other than FKS 180s), including STH 16s (the binding he perviously has been riding).

I didn't say jester pros. Jester pros are boss. I said marker sucks, meaning as a brand which it does suck... Besides the Jester Pro , Jester, and some top notch racing stuff the majority is plastic garbage.

To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised at all if next years Jester Pro matched next years Hot Dogger in some way....especially since both Marker and Full Tilt are owned by K2 SPORTS (not K2 skis...remember there is a difference...)

That's like saying because Rossi has the Axium series or cause Salomon has the Z10 they (as a company) suck....every company that makes bindings has their own low end, price point binding.

griffons aren't exactly price point, and there all plastic. Squires and free 10's are such a joke too... point is there are better bindings for the price no matter what price point you're looking at

i wouldnt say there too bad, i mean if you dont have much money like me and needed a pair, there decent. I got squire right now and though there not perfect they do hold up and are ridiculously light. But they are all plastic and sound bad clikcing in and out and are smooth either, but.. cheap and light
