Hi, I'm skiing the Apo Kai Park 177 (84mm waist), I weigh ~90kg (200lbs) and I'm 1.80m (5'.9''). This will be my second park year, although in Bulgaria there aren't many good parks on the slopes (especially during weak seasons). Last year i learnt doing 540s, still not that good on rails, mainly trying PVC tubes. I like experimenting with a lot of new tricks, and I like to go fast and aggressive. So after that you have a bit of an idea of my skiing I am wondering what bindings to get. Currently my two main choices are:

Rossignol Axial2 120 (2014) - http://www.evo.com/outlet/alpine-ski-bindings/rossignol-axial2-120.aspx
Tyrolia Atack 13 Demo (2015) - http://www.tyrolia.com/en/ski-bindings/aaa-series/aaattack-13-demo.html

Note that both bindings would be brand new. So what are your opinions about those bindings? Any thoughts on what should I get? The rossi would cost me a bit less but I would much rather spend a little bit more if the quality is noticable.

you DO NOT want to get a demo binding man. that would ruin your ski. go for the axial 2 for sure.

Can those rails, on which the bindings are, be removed and screw the bindings onto the ski? I was about to edit my initial post about that main issue(demo).
