Look pivots

Hey guys, I recently got some new faction prodigy 1.0s (181cm) and I need to get bindings. I am trying to decide between the pivot 12s and the pivot 14s. I am 6'3" 175 pounds and still growing, I am an intermediate park skier (3's 5's off jumps and some 2's off rails). I have my dins on my old bindings set at 9.5, but I know I will need to move them up in the future. just wondering if the pivot 12s would be good or if I should spend the extra $ and get the 14's.

I mean if you have the money for the 14s they'd be a better long term investment

The new pivot 15 would be ideal, pivot 14s if you dont want to fork over the cash for the 15. Pivot 12s are a no go for someone your size

Ok thanks, I will look into that. Is the main benefit with the 15's is that they have the all metal toe from the 18's?

Yes. If you don’t want to spend 400 for 15’s there are some great deals on 14’s.

Hell, I’m a little smaller than you but ride 12’s at 9.5 and have never had a problem. If you want to keep your purchase under 200 it’s really not that bad of an idea but if you’re cool with dropping $230 then go with 14’s for sure.

Thanks, I think I will go with the 14's unless I find a better deal somewhere.

Ebay has some decent deals. This one is 145 but the brakes might be a lil too big https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F164123236932

Yeah I saw those but I assume they would be too wide at 115 being that mine are 90's, unless I could find someone to trade with.

Not sure, their site kinda sucks on my mobile platform. In the upper part of the page there is a Canadian Flag CAD logo, are you able to switch currencies?

I tried it on my computer but it still isn't obvious whether it is $209 in Canadian or U.S. currency

What I’m seeing on the eBay site is that 12’s are 230 or whatever CAD and 179 USD which makes sense

Do whatcha like, Corbetts has some sick deals especially when the exchange rate is unbalanced. It's not my money and I don't need any bindings...thinking about a setup for my boy for next season but I probably shouldn't buy anything right now.

What do you think would happen if you throw it on your credit card than check the pending transaction to see what the actual price is. You could probably cancel the order way before it ships because it's the weekend. Good idea to read through their policies and details of such but might be worth it?
