ok ok so honest question, when we refer to "pivot", are we referring to the movement of the long piece snapping up into place to hold the boot down? or are we referring to the binding heel having the ability to rotate like turntable bindings?

the heel piece's ability to "pivot" in a circular motion.  So kind of like the turntable design.  Turntables pivot 360 degrees, P series bindings pivot 45 degrees and PX series bindings DO NOT pivot.

haha word.

BUT just because they don't pivot doesn't mean they are bad bindings at all.

p stands for "pivot" px DOES NOT therefore a p12 "pivots" while a px12 does not. the px still has full range of release, but it does not pivot in an attempt to remove the play, or wiggle in the binding that comes with the pivot heel peices
