I'm planning out a set up for next season, and i was wondering what's a good binding that isn't too expensive. I ride the park and the brake is going to need to be greater than 92 mm. Any input?

Any of these are good options.

and don't worry about getting them mounted at a shop. you can do it yourself with 2'' wood screws and a cordless drill. true center of course.

fks/pivots are the way to go for sure but can be pricey. Marker Griffons and Rossi axials are just fine too for a little less out of pocket

why are boots and bindings ancient technology? the fks and 3 piece boot mold are from the 1970's? is this really the best technology to offer? how do these products still cost an arm and a leg? lol, they actually stopped manufacturing the fks so they could remarket it and charge more money...

This make me laugh too. I almost feel ashamed of us freestyle an free riders when it comes to being fooled by marketing. As you say both fk and the three piee design full tilt use were pulled from the market only to be brought back unchanged but now they were marketed to us. The fks is still pretty good compared to modern bindings although it certainly has it's flaws due to the age, but a far as full tilt they are really behind what other boots can offer these days. I'm waiting for the sx92 to be re marketed.
