Atomic FFG 12 2007

Overall

The only reason I got these bindings is I got hooked up with some Punx and these bindings from a shop. I would have never purchased them otherwise. I hate them. In the last 6 days of skiing I have prereleased 4 times all resulting in hard wrecks. I am afraid to turn the DIN up higher because I have wrecked a few times and tweaked my knee without releasing. Dont buy these bindings, stick with Look or FKS. My Look Pivot 18s are over 5 years old and way more reliable than the FFG 12s.

Design

Atomic pays Salomon to manufacture these bindings so they are just Soloman bindings.

Value

I'm not sure how much these retail for but I got them for around $120 and that was way to much money. I would rather put that towards a new pair of Look or FKS bindings.

Characteristics

Inconsistent. In the past 6 days of skiing on them, I have preleased 4 times on hard landings where I normally should have rode out. I have also twisted sideways on rails and a wall ride hard enough to torque my knee and not release. Typical Salomon Binding.
