So I am a pretty aggressive skier and I ride a lot of park. I am looking for bindings but I can't really afford a $400 pair of bindings. I was thinking of just getting pivot 12s since I use either 8 or 9 din when I ski. Should these be fine or should I invest more? I am still drowing and I am currently 5'11''-6' and 150 lbs.

I am exactly your height and weigh 160 lbs and have Pivot 12s on all my skis and have never had a problem whether on groomers, powder or dropping rocks.

pivot 12's are just as good as pivot 14's if you ride a din below 12. Not as durable as 18's but you save $100. Still are a super good binding.

I honestly don't know why look makes both a 12 and a 14. They should just make a pivot 13 and call it a day. If you are riding a DIN of 14 you should be on pivot 18's anyways

I agree. I'm sure look purposely isn't making a Forza version of the p12 because they wanted everyone that thinks they need that color to spend the extra cash on the p14.

Absolutely. I've been saying this for years. They would sell so many pivot 15's.

Funny story actually. I used to be 170 lbs but I got a stomach disease that they doctors still don't understand and I've lost a lot of weight and have struggled to gain weight. Basically fucked me over in football. I used to be a beast but that's no longer.
