Need Some Advice

So I recently bought the Rossi S4s brand new. I have an older pair of Scratches with Rossi Axial 120 bindings (not the new design they have now, its the older design with the pivot-like heel piece). I also have a pair of 4FRNT STLs with a pair of Rossi FKS 120s on them. Which ever binding I take off, I will most likely end up selling that ski. My question is should I put the FKS or the Axial 120s on the S4s? I ski mostly park but will go everywhere else as well. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks and +K to any help.

FKS 120 or Axial 120. Tough call. Both killer bindings.

Get both bindings checked out first. They both sound kinda old so make sure they are in working order.

Then if they are both in working order, pick the ski that's more beat up and take it's bindings. Sell worse ski keep the good ones. Or make a shot skis.

The FKS are fine, that's what I used all last season. They are on 4FRNT STLs. The Axials got a new heel piece that just slid right on and Ive clicked in/out of them with my boots perfectly fine. I think Ill just go with the Axials and get rid of the old scratches (like 2003 or something). +K

At the beginning of every season you should take your skis to a tech and ask them to do a din test. Just to make sure boots come out at the proper din.
Over the summer bindings springs can go bad so you should always get them checked before hand.

Thanks alot man.I appreciate the help. I think Im going to use the Axials and maybe sell the old scratches. Keep the FKS on the STLs and use them for urban or something. +K
