 Poster: A snowHead
|
I'm looking at buying some ski bindins, which will be primarily for freestyle, but they need to be able to take a full season's battering of jumps and rails. Looking at the Marker Jester, I fancy splashing out a little, since they're great bindings. What I wanted to know, was how do you know if bindings are compatible with certain skis? I assume there's more to it than the brake width... Also, Griffin or Jester? Or any other suggestions? I'll be mounting them on Amplid Antidogs, if that helps.
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers,
Murray

Not really. Marker Duke needs at least 76mm, but I doubt you'll be under that.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Really? That's cool. Nah, the Antidogs are 86mm I think. Any opinions on Jester or Griffon? The Jester's apparently sightly better build quality, and there's the obvious DIN difference.... (Jester 8-16, Griffon something to 12) I never have it set much less than 9, I'm a little bigger than average.

Ive heard that the Jester has more metal components than the Griffon so its the usual weight vs durability argument. I also heard that the main gripe with them is that where the heel piece meets the tracking for the wormscrew is made of plastic and can break. They look pretty bomber to me though.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Some people moan about toe slop.
