Pivot 18 on a park ski?

SCORED WHITE PIVOTS ON SNOW SHARE. Wondering if I should put them on a park ski or not. I’m 145 lbs and all my other pivots are set to 9 so I know I’ll be good on the din. I heard they had less elastic travel than the plastic toe. How will this affect me? Also will I feel a huge difference in weight?

You can get some pretty good weed for $420 but you should keep the bindings. (on second thought, you weigh 145 are probably like 15 and are intrigued by the prospect of absolutely NUKING your knees.) If you really want to keep them you should put them on a freeride ski or something burly.

I'm ~150 and have a pair on park skis. If you're within the range then send it.

elstic travel wont effect anything. falin is still falling whether youre in the park or not. another thread that didnt need to be made. looks like you just wanted to flex that you got pivots on snoshare? cool man

I don’t see why it would matter. You’re within the DIN range so it’s effectively the same as a pivot 15 that most park skiers use. If you got it for cheap why not use it. I guess you could flip it and get a pivot 15 if you wanna pocket the difference.
