i was reading about the schizo system in the K2 catalog.

it allows for the mounting of a griffon to be changed at will, from dead center, to back from more traditional (non park) riding.

the binding comes on sort of a track. U get a tool like a screwdriver kinda thing. The toe and heel can move on the track  fwd 3cm or backward 3cm. So depending where u set the midpoint u can adjust it for an easier ride in pow or traditional skiing (back) or for park / spins meaning move fwd .  Some of the SIA news had some minimal info. Chk the price though ....Regular Price:$495.00
ON SALE!$439.00 ..

or from europe... Marker Volk did some announcing

JESTER SCHIZO – ispo European Ski Award 2009 The JESTER SCHIZO is a binding for all styles – the new highlight of the “Royal Family” of premium freeski bindings from Marker. Its hallmark is the innovative multi-stance adjustor. This technological breakthrough lets the skier vary the binding position freely and directly on the ski by up to 60mm, right there on the slopes. The adjustment takes only seconds and doesn’t even require the skier to unbuckle the binding. The perfect stance for all conditions!

I think it is great. costs too much

To be honest I don't reckon it's worth it.

You know, I can't help but think of the Head's failed attempt at an easily movable binding (Madtrix) when I think of the Schizo.  I'm really, really skeptical that this is in fact a good idea.

its the jester version, it is 6-16. the website also says it has upward release, which i am pretty sure it doesn't. They probably put the info down for a junior binding and it somehow ended up on the schizo page

We have them in New Zealand, and i've been tossing up whether or not to get the griffon schizos as they are only $50 more than normal griffons.
I'm just a bit worried they might have major issues.

I work repairing skis during the winter, and have seen way too many problems with bindings to trust these things. In my professional opinion, I wouldn't ever buy a product in the first year. Armadas in their first year had a lot of problems, Salomon had problems with their first year in edge armor, and I'm sure the Schizo won't be any different.

In my mind, just stick with the regular bindings guys, they cost less, and in ALL PROBABILITY are safer, more reliable, and more ultimately, more durable.

You don't want to be hitting your 55 booter, land, and see the binding under you break, causing your to hurt your knee, or just eat shit in an embarassing fashion.

This is not really brand new technology. ESS bindings(atomic)  years ago offered a similar thing. Rental bindings are adjustable, and there have been noving plate versions (salomon).  As mentioned, a select few have been out testing them. Although I agree that I also don't like first year products, I hope that this causes other binding companies to come out with something comparable.

If I ski the east - I like more of a park or fwd set. If I go heli out west, even though operators rent or include skis, i prefer my own and like them set traditional.

They'll give you a year warranty on them anyhow.   I hope the NZs and Aussies buy them and test them and report on them for us north americans.

I can see where you are going with this argument but i just dont see the point why you wouldn't get park and pow skis i know that money is an issue but i pair of extremes that can go back and forward to me  seem like a big heavy park ski or a narrow stiff pow skis that is heavy. I wont get them but that is just me but being able to flat mount any skis to any binding is some thing that is great about freestyle boo system bindings but that is a whole differnt can of worms.
