So I recently broke my marker squire binding and need new ones, I really want a good light binding for park riding that will let my boot sit low to my ski. Anybody have some suggestions?
In my personal opinion don’t buy pivots. They do look sick and the concept is good but the metal heel piece isn’t durable. I swore by them until i had had my own break. This is the heel piece that stops the breaks from extending too far and snapping off if you eject. Can’t warranty them and to replace you have to buy a whole new heel piece.

Hes on marker squires dude i doubt he will ski hard enough to break pivots, besides just go to any shop that carries look and theyll fix that for you for a 6 pack
No such thing as a “super durable” binding. All will break eventually. Mostly it’s just personal preference of what you feel safe and confident on. For myself and many other park riders. That’s a Look Pivot binding. Doesn’t mean they’re perfect. I’ve still broken many pairs of them.
I rode pivots for years. I liked them, but I've been on Tyrolias for 3 or so seasons now and they haven't broken on me ever. I'm 230lbs, ski 60-100 days a season here in the icy midwest and I abuse my gear. The other thing that makes the Tyrolias superior imo is the lack of pivoting ironically enough. You step into and out of them so much easier. As the pivots age they become very unreliable, difficult to get in and out of, and can bend in the heel so they become non adjustable.

thanks for the suggestions, I wasnt to sure if tyrolias were good or not since I never talked to anyone who rode them, love your work man!
I have broken a part on my pivots for the last 3 seasons in a row! thats 3 seperate pairs that have broke. trying to use some parts as donors but its still tough. i hate breaking bindings all the time.
Pivots are nice because when they break you can just replace the part that broke and not the whole binding. Most certainly not a "light" binding though.
