Imagine a world where Pivot halfmoon plates don't break and we care about binding integrity vs cool color ways. Just give us boring colors and bomber construction like the olden days.

Planned obsolescence is a helluva thing. Gotta sell more bindings somehow

Planned Obsolescence really is some of the biggest dogshit in the world.

I love my Pivots but it was definitely obvious when instructing with me saying “give me a second” vs my coworkers slamming into tyrolias, Atomics, or markers. I felt so silly slightly kicking my pivots to get them straight lol
DeebieSkeebiesi have STH2 16s on my work skis and I do enjoy that solid click-in almost instantly instead of fiddling around like a dipshit.

Going from attacks to pivots was a steeper learning curve than actually skiing.
ReturnToMonkeyBouta get some new pivots for my new skis, but this thread and the other tech one have me concerned. Should I just get sth2s instead?
honestly man all bindings kinda suck. I've had problems with pivots and STH2's.... and marginally less problems with jesters and attacks but still problems. IMO your fine with pivots, despite their problems they're still probably one of the better bindings out there. Its whatever.
-rasta: 15 years late to relevance
-pit viper edition: busy, hydrodip, unironically ugly
-evo edition: busy, hydrodip, very expensive
-Henrik pros: black and white, v boring
however I just copped the blue tomato p15 with white and purple, those look dope af
bring back the solid color:
-burgundy
-teal
-red/orange
and bring back proper gradients like forza v1:
- raw to yellow
- whatever
So what do you guys wanna see pivot do for a color scheme? I liked the harlaut’s and I like all black or all white. Also wish they would just logo and clear coat them raw. Shit i guess if they could do a raw one with ODB on it and the only color was his gold teeth. Shimmy shimmy yeah!!
pretty easy solution, buy older one. You might pay $200-300 for used fks/p18s but they'll be just as good as new ones and there are tons of old colorways that are nice.
