I heard they suck. Something about ejecting randomly. But try searchbarring.

I also heard they suck. something you could look into is the fks/pivot. the pivot heel supposedly prevents knee injuries.

The concept isn't bad, but they really can't hold up to the abuse that comes with freestyle from what I've heard.

While the company owner/rep or whoever he is on NS will disagree, they are just not made to hold up for park skiing. There is a thread or two floating around with a very negative review from an Nser. Basicely if you ski park with them you will preject ALL THE TIME, at least according to that thread.

Just get FKS.

I tore my ACL skiing on long fat skis with Salomon 916s.



After a hamstring graft to replace my ACL, I still ski on long fat skis, with 916s.
