eh, i got some scratches this year and i thought they performed really well like they released when they should have and all, but yeah my brakes broke like 4 times this year it got way annoying cuz when one would brake off my ski was all loose and would jiggle around, probably not safe...

mojos will stand up to anything, the only prblms ive ever had with them were brakes, and on an extreemly cold night i striped a screw from the ski and they came off but that wasnt really the bindings fault

In the shop I work at we all had ast least 1 pair of jesters on one of our skis. We all loved em. Very light, wide mounting pattern. Comes with breaks to fit about a 98mm ski with a tiny bend. Never had any release issues, always held me in.

They other bindings to consider would be one of the mojo series like the 11/12 (idk which one it is) or the sth 12s, or fks 120.

Everyone has a boner for Rossi FKS 120s, and so did i...until i blew out my knee with them. 

Just picked up a pair of Tyrolia Mojo 15s and so far i love them.  Ive only had rossi bindings the last 4 years, and having a bindings that actually "clicks" in is so nice, I love em.

dead bolts are made by tyrolia so those bindings seem to be nice. Chris Ashcroft the 4frnt rep was telling me how they where made sounded really good

the mojo 15/peak 16 din, and the deabolt are all great bindings. They are all very simialr, i know the mojos have a pivotish heel. I dont know about the others.

im pretty sure tyrolia isnt making 4frnt bindings until next season.  all the past ones and current ones for sale are made by vist, which has a bad rep.  but hey drew rides them and everyone wants to be like him.

And Miller, i love/hate you, but my other knee blow outs were on older rossi pivots....sheesh, get your facts straight.

i had some deadbolts two years i only rode them like 15 times then the afd snapped off when i cased a jump.  but i just emailed 4frnt and they sent me new ones in the mail like 4 days later, i think i'm gonna use them this, i agree drew they seemed indestructable, and if they do break they back their shit up

anything by tyrolia, next years deadbolts, head, and i forget the other company that they make them for. They are indestructible (except for brakes), the mojo's or anything under the head name has the pivot heel and diagnol toe piece, i have had them for 2 years now and they have taken hell, plus the pivot heel saves ur knees cuz u twist out when u land wrong...personal experience from tryin to spin to win off rails.

Buying bindings is pretty simple....

You get what you pay for - so if you are looking for a durable binding, typically, the more you spend = better components.

It also helps if you go to a ski shop where someone knows what they are talking about and has experience with a variety of product to compare.

Pinewski's has a lot of bindings on sale for this summer - you should make a trip and we'll get you taken care of with some solid bindings and a great price.

If you have questions .... 763.422.0329

Any of our team riders should have valid opinions as well.
