if you only weigh 130, then the fk 14's might be a little bit high din for you

depends what kind of skiing u like to do.

if u do park, i would avoid the griffon because of the sliding afd plate. otherwise its good.

fks is good but know it will be heavy.

salomon sth 12 or 14 oversize or driver are good options as well.

At 130 a 12 din would usually be sufficient. There a quite a lot of 12 din bindings on the market. Don't be put off by the fact they are 12 din, bindings such as STH12 Driver (steer clear of the Oversize) are plenty burly. The Rossi Axial2 120 is another solid option, it features the same toe as the Pivot 140 but has a different Axial+ heel, see the review on http://aslansskiblog.blogspot.com . If you're set on the Griffon see if you can find the 10-11 model as I think that contained some metal.

Hope this helps, Joey

5 to 14 actually and i mean id say pivots but most people will disagree with me, so if you really want a turntable heel there are alot of fks 120 around still

For your weight, there is really no point in getting anything over a 12 din binding. Regardless of what the din range starts at. Why spent the additional money when you won't need to (or notice)
