Hey guys,
I have recently found these bindings pretty cheap and I was just wondering about other people's experiences and opinions on them. Pros/cons? I ski 95% park and I weigh about 63 kgs (138 lbs)

Thanks.

Buy them. They're the best binding (along with the 16) on the market right now if you ask me.

I'll second this. Have heard nothing but good so that's why I bought them. Can't wait to try them out this weekend for the first time!

But really op get them. They even come with a 5 year warranty. That's saying something.

How do they perform as freeride bindings? I'm curious as the toe piece seems to release only one Way?? The little plastic/metal slider isn't there :)

They're great, no signs of pre-releases even on deep nosebutters. They come off exactly when you need them to. Like when you jump through a gap between two trees and land on the small tree you couldn't see from the takeoff.

Yep. Almost lost my virginity to a 2 ft tall sapling at Targhee. I got away with minimal bruising on the inside of my left thigh. Pretty lucky really, if I had been going slightly faster I would have landed on the thing

Thanks heaps for the offer man but it would be to difficult for you to ship them to Australia and would cost a heap in shipping. but thanks for the offer anyway dude!
