So I just got Scott Punisher Jibs for super cheap and my friend has them and he loves them so why not. Anyway, I havent goten bindings yet but i was wondering where I should mount these skis. Right now im thinking center, but i figured it wouldnt hurt to ask. I am 5' 5" and weigh 120 lbs. My skis are 168's.
+k for help

Center Center Center!

Depends how much you have to spend on bindings. Used PX12s or griffons can be had for cheap! Then there are older FKS120s or STH14s. You really dont need a binding with a din higher than 12 imo unless you are throwing down hard.

Dont get the squires, youll get much more longevity out of the griffons.

i second the vote for no squires, especially if you are gunna grow any more. i would much rather have a pair of used griffons, fks, sth, px etc. than a pair of new squires

Yes definitely mount them either centered, or 1 cm back. I have the griffons and love them so definitely go for the griffons.

squires would be fine in 6 feet and 155 and they work perfect for me + they are cheeper

Get the griffons without the schizos. The schizos mechanism is pretty cool but it breaks too often, I had a friend who had some issues with his.

Also get them mounted at centre!

schizos weigh too much, they make my revivals heavy as hell.

I like my Atomic FFG. Gets the job done without clearing out my bank account. Don't get squires.

I'm only 150lbs, and I'm never getting griffons again, they're so fucking crappy, everything on them breaks. I would personally not buy marker, I would try getting a low din look/atomic binding.
