Do any of you even understand what a pivot bindings, or in this case fks binding, is and what it does? Or do just like it because it's orange?

I would not put those on my pow skis, they're a pain to put on when snow is in the mix.

What? I'm saying that because in personal past experiences they have been difficult to put on in the snow. I think we can both agree that most people just want them because theyre orange.

I think most people want them due to their higher elasticity, consistent release values, dynamic skiing properties, the fact that they don't kill the ski's natural flex like other bindings do, the high binding/boot contact, and the great durability they offer.

summed up my quiver filled with 155s.

plus i like that they are black, i'd only buy black bindings. Color matters more than release
