What are some really good light terrain park bindings for more towards the advanced side. I am 116lbs and a advanced skier for terrain park. Was thinking about the fks 120/140s. But whats a good binding but not to expensive? And what din would I need since I am more of an agressive skier?

I'm loving my pivot 12's so far this year. I usually don't crank my DIN's so they are great. I'm 170 pounds.

But if you get the fks you wont have to deal with the binding breaking because they would be bombproof. But how good are the rossignol axial bindings for park? and which binding would be better for me?

I do by into the hype around fks. rode them for a full season now and they never failed on me. take a beating and hold up extremely well. i would reccomend fks 120 to op cause of your weight

Like i do not really want to spend that much money just on bindings but how heavy are the fks and how much better are the fks's to the axials?

dude they're bindings. Not going to be that different model to model. All weigh roughly the same. Get a cheap pair that will last and your fine. I'm sure the extra pound or 2 you save on a lighter pair won't help you much.

I know one of my friends had the axials last season and he said they were alright, but he has the fks now and says that he notices that they are so much more sturdy and well built. The axials will honestly be fine since you're such a light guy, but paying 200$ for the fks 120 is a fine deal imo

fks > axials

also check out the sth 2 13

i dont plan on ever buying axials again, (mine are basically trashed) as there are just other bindings out there that are better.

They are the exact thing. Not sure if rossignol owns look now, but Look has always made all of rossignols bindings. For example. A shop may try to sell you a pair of FKS 140's over a Pair of Pivot 140's, just because they cost more, but there really is no difference. At that point, it all comes down to which you think looks cooler and which costs less.

You can get last years axial for $130 on evo.com cant really beat that price for what you're getting for a brand new binding, if I were you thats what i would go for.

Attack > axial

attacks for slightly more but well worth it when comparing to the axials
