Park boots and bindings

Buy boots that fit YOU, not ur favorite xgames gold medalist

Buy full tilts

Whichever boot fits you best will be the best performing boot for you all over the mountain, whether its park, pow, groomers or whatever. For bindings, go with whatever 13ish DIN binding you can get at a solid price. (Attack 13, Griffon, Pivot 12/14, STH 13, etc.)

Thanks guys I have multiple setups and descent education on bootfitting etc I was looking for more review like reply’s
And maybe should have asked .... is there a binding and boot style that apply a for to jumps etc.... shock absorption
I got a great all mountain setup I’m looking to add a park specific setup this year

claims to have a good boot education and is looking to buy "park" boots. come on now buddy we can sniff that shit out. Just use the boots you have now. and if you want a jump ski get like stiffer skis like kartels or revolt 87s or arv 86s

Get boots that fit you, and use them for all types of skiing.

But new skis based on where you ski on the mountain/snow conditions you will be using them in.

Sniff what out seems like u guys spend ur time searching for trolls. I educated myself best I could and was looking to those who might know more. I know what to buy like I stayed before I was looking for others opinions on different equip u dick , and there are park oriented boots like Dalbello impro some boots do have a shock absorption quality
I’ll do all my own research and stay clear of this sight 🙄

The shock absorption story is really just a story. The best fit and right flex trumps all other aspects of a boot. Many freestyle athletes are in race boots because that's what fits them and works for them the best. If you only search for "park" boots you will be seriously limiting yourself in finding the right boot for you. Make an appointment with your local boot-fitter and go with what he/she suggests based your foot shape, weight, strength, and personal preference. Do this and you will have a comfortable boot for all types of skiing.

Thanks that’s the exact answer I was looking for is the shock absorption bs is what I was looking for
I have Rossi track 130s with custom liners for everyday boots on line chronics

Was also wondering is a softer flex is preferable for landing big jumps?
Fully rockered ski for park or rocker camber rocker

Plz keep in mind I’m looking for personal reviews as I can’t demo everything on the market b4 I buy and I’m buying a setup I’ll only use on park days

Again, no. The boot that works for your body type is the best one to go skiing with.

Here's Nicky Keefer at Nine Knights a couple of years ago, wearing a World Cup race boot:

Also, it doesn't matter what works for someone else. They don't have your foot or body. What works great for someone else could end being absolutely horrible for you, and vice-versa.

If you are interested in finding the best ski boot, this is what you do:
1. Research in your area (or where you will be skiing) which shops are the best boot-fitters
2. Call them and make an appointment (budget at least 1 hour, maybe 2)
3. Trust their boot recommendation that is based on your foot shape, budget, and footbed needs.
4. Enjoy the best boot for you, for all types of skiing.

FYI- at this time of the year, shops do not have all boot options in stock. Some things are sold out already, so you might not find the ideal solution for your needs. Your best bet is do this in September/October when all options are available.

There is no other correct answer.

thanks

I get that everyone’s experience will be different and I trust myself to fit my boots better than most boot fitters Bc I know my feet my setups both perform and are comfortable for me when I freeride I just thought maybe park might be different is all for flex , like maybe a 110 is nicer for landing jumps than a stiff 130
I also don’t trust when a company says a ski is this flex is rather hear from another 190lb 6,1 skier that the ski has good butter support for their size in the real world.
As far as bindings idk anything about them ... are 2 piece better than single for park? I’d like lightweight myself can barely spin a 360 on my chronics with attack 13s
I’d like to hear something along the lines of the boot with your last instep calf size performance needs and skill and flex that’s meant for u is the right one but u can fine tune it from there make sacarifices to get what u want per situation
I came to this site to expand and fine tune what I know with assistance from other skiers maybe make a ski friend not troll or be a jerk or throw advice back in people’s faces , I wasn’t trying to b a dick when I said I was educated I know some things I don’t know others and I’d trust the reviews of you guys more than a salesman I can sell and fit myself for equip

Looking for a park specific ski and has chronics?

if you mean frame bindings as one piece bindings stay away from those. Those are for touring. Depending on your weight attack 13s should be really good for you and since you can barley throw threes they will be more than enough for you. They are great all mountain and park bindings. Also if you have trouble bringing threes around on chronics, where are they mounted? I have a feeling they are at rec which would explain why its hard to whip them around. OP on your next park ski mount them at dead centre, you will have an even swing weight and especialy with a ski like chronics youll be able to whip those puppies around like a top. Also soryy for coming across as an ass, I just doubt you did any real research but I could Be wrong. If your are looking for a jump ski that butters than get some on3p magnuses. pretty stiff so landing jumps will be fine and the rocker profile will make doing peanut butters a breeze.

I ski in a 130 flex low volume race boot in all circumstances. I ski groomers, pow, bumps and trees in the mountains and ski mellow park laps at my local hills. My point? I have one pair of boots that fits me perfectly and therefore serves me well and makes me happy regardless of where/what I'm skiing. You don't need several pairs of boots that are tailored to different types of skiing (unless you're touring). When it comes to last, calf height, instep, etc., every boot is obviously different, and no amount of reviews or recommendations will give you an idea of how a boot feels until you try it on. Flex really comes down to preference. If you find a 130 too stiff, go softer, and vice versa. I like the support offered by the 130, but others may favour the comfort and range of motion of a softer boot - it depends on what is important to you specifically. See a bootfitter, let him or her know of any preferences you may have (flex, etc.) and they will measure and look at your foot and work with you to find the boot that fits best while accommodating your skiing needs.

For bindings, the Attack 13 is light, inexpensive and relatively durable, but other bindings such as the Griffon, STH or pivot would also make you happy if you can get them at a cheaper price. Some people find 2 piece bindings heels (such as on the Griffon) to be harder to click in to compared to 3 piece heels (Attack, STH), but if you're putting them on a park ski, this won't be a significant problem at all. Bindings all have to pass the same safety tests, so none of these would be bad options.

No one's trying to beef you dude, gear talk is a place for people to offer helpful suggestions to others. However, when it comes to boots, you'll rarely see suggestions or reviews from others, because we all know these suggestions will probably be wrong and the reviews irrelevant, as boots are extremely subjective to the person. It sucks that you didn't get what you were looking for in the replies, but that's really just because ski boots suck and there is just no simple answer to boot threads other than "go see a bootfitter".

I did do what I consider a good bit of research , I’ve spent months reading on skis boots bindings , I ask ?s here Bc I figured some helpful dudes would be able to help me understand what I’ve already read .

The boots I have now are perfect for comfort I have Rossi track 130s with custom molded footbeds, they are comfy , they work , but is there something that out performs them idk so I asked the question I asked above wasn’t hey what’s gonna work for me, my question was , simply hey is there a genre of boots outfitted towards park was my ? I got my answer between my research and the answers some have provided

As far as bindings questions were the same I’m 6 ft 1 190-215 depending lifting season or not

Far as skis I know what I’m getting my chronics r my beaters I’m looking for a lightweight ski full rocker for park as well as a whole other setup for when I go out west

As far as barely pulling 360s ya I lied I’ve never landed one I hit the ground around 270 sometimes I can butter into a landing I usually eat it I’ve never skied with a partner not once so I’m like teaching myself
Far as bindings they are center mount that I’m sure I don’t know why I can’t spin , I can ski , can’t spin 😩
$ not really an issue I’m lucky enough to work 100 hrs a week and take the winter off

Anyway thanks man

Full rocker park , no bueno

Roger that

If your boots already fit new ones won't make you a better skier and neither will new skis.

Never said I thought they’d make me better, said I was looking for style specific setups AND to get better I think a lighter ski with a tru center mount maybe 5cm shorter would in fact make me better at spinning 3s than spinning a 192 no my chronics aren’t 192s don’t make em that big was just stating

I’m surprised someone hasn’t recommended I buy the ones with the dopest top sheet which I’m gonna probably buy a set of wets for that reason and that reason alone so I can look at em :)

Anyone able to spin a 3 without a jump? Just jump and spin at maybe 5mph?That is how I’ve been trying/training havent tried on a jump yet ,I do squat pull arms to side and low spring twist blah blah , still I’m landing maybe 270 , sure id b fine with the air

Boots really depend on the size style and skill of a skier but if your looking for a cheap and reliable binding the look nx10s are very good

Those are kids bindings...

Rum_HamThose are kids bindings...

I know but I know many adult skiers that use them too and my point is their affordable
