Hi,
i'm making my new bc freestyle set up. I'm going to buy jj 2.0 and i have no idea what should i do with bindings. I was thinking of alpine touring bindings like dukes etc. but i heard that i can broke them when i'm jumping and hiting drops and they're a little bit too heavy for that kind of stuff. Sooo i was thinking of marker jesters or fks but with that bindings i can't walk to spots etc. 2 pairs of skis aren't in option. Do you have any ideas what can i do in this situation?

Hey man, first off I would say there's no point getting an AT binding unless you're actually planning on touring, they're heavy and don't ski as well as traditional alpine bindings.

Beyond that, I can't really make any further reccomendations without knowing how tall and heavy you are.

I have 180cm and 66kg. I like skiing trees and hitting some jumps, drops etc.

Ok, as a type 3+ skier, your reccomended DIN setting is 7. Bearing that in mind a binding with a max setting of 14/15ish would probably be a solid bet. Something in that range will accommodate you at present and allow for some progression.
