Hey guys I'm looking for a new pair of bindings for this season. I have been looking at the FKS 140 but I wanted to know if there are any better bindings/cheaper ones that are also quality! I weigh 190 and I'm a pretty aggressive skier, park and everywhere else on the mountain.

If you're going to be in the park a lot of the time (or just switch skiing in general) I would look for a different binding. Fks bindings are notorious for having brakes that are both expensive and difficult to replace.

Yeah if your fks break your in deep poop. Take a look at attacks or sth2 or even some markers. Just something that might not break going switch. But if you don't ride switch a lot maybe fks is a good way to go. The only thing I don't like about fks is they aren't adjustable. I only have 1 pair of boots but I'm 16 so I have a few years before I quit growing so I want a binding that can adjust.

just buy something cheap and that brakes are readily available. I ride head mojo 15's for those reasons.
