Marker! King of bindings...

Matsofatso from Las Cruces, NM

I've used these bindings mostly in the park and urban jibbing. I would reccomend forking out for the jester though, because the griffons din range simply can't lock you in as well as the jesters. Too hard of stomp and you may end up experiencing an eject! But it is a great binding for anyone looking to just shred the whole mountain. Read more

I use these for the park really lightwieght easy to spin and jump. Only one wierd thing that happend to me is that after I did a nose butter and a couple nollies they started to squek. It does not change the performance of the binding though. Overall they are lightwieght easy to throw around and they make your skis more responsive due to the wider area of the binding. Read more

Awesome binding, light/responsive

Joe Sinkevich from Wrentham US

I have these mounted on a set of Line Prophet 100s. Im impressed by how light they are and the control I get with the ski. The wide toe piece definitely helps out on the Line ski (100 underfoot). I have a DIN set just under 10 or so, so I dont need the Jester with a DIN of 16.Ski is super responsive, works well with this binding. No complaints so far. Read more

It has potential...

Matthew Tabrys from Salt Lake City US

I have the dukes and absolutely love them. I figured a lightweight, alpine version would be great as well. Well, they are. The binding transfers energy really well, but these (and their big brother, the jesters) are missing a crucial component that would makes these a great binding. They do not have a toe height adjustment. So what happens is there is a tiny gap and a little play in the toe piece. Im sure this is not a problem with all boots, but it was with my Krypton pros. I skied these bindings for 5 days and release once or twice each day. It wssnt consistent either. Sometimes I released on cat track, and other times mid turn. I had the dins cranked up pretty high as well. Overall I was impressed with the binding and the feel. Unfortunately the lack of toe height adjustment was its downfall. Read more

Ive used these bindings on one trip to Jackson Hole. I ski mostly black and double black. After the second day the plastic construction of these bindings began to squeak every time the ski flexed. This is my only complaint. Other than the noise, these bindings rock. I mounted mine on a pair of Scott Punisher twin tips. Not sure if the Jesters are quieter, but you should check into it. If you dont mind the noise, the price is right on! Read more
