As title says, Marker wont give me a dam proform and I'm not paying 350 up front for the Jester I wanted. If I can't get it soon I think I might have to get another binding. Any thoughts?

Keep in mind I'm a poor History major who doesn't want to pay over 250 or so.

you could get salomon 977s for under $50 dollars, just make sure to have them tested, I have 3 pairs they are one of the best bindings for the price.

Oh and I'm a 80 percent park skier. I got some 2009 Armada AR6's and Nordica Spark boots.

Jester was gonna be sick, but December is around the corner, and this guy wont show up to my ski shop to deliver the pro form.

get something like this, old bomber construction like the now discontinued s916, but without the extreme din, metal heel track, worm screw forward pressure, and they are still indemnified, what more could you want, i just got a pair for less than $17 bucks shipped

997s are practically the same, but more durable

Only thing I'm wary of is pullout and breakage. I'm 6'4 and 205 lbs, meaning I can put some hard pressure on everything I own.

Would these bindings hold up well?

yes all of the above bindings will hold up, but if you go the marker route, get jesters instead of griffons, seriously though, the 997 driver is the most durable
