Good cheap bindings

What bindings are good for park and not to expensive. Do bindings even matter for park(i know makes me sound like a gaper)?

Buy marker bindings. Theyre cheap. But remember: you get what you pay for with these bindings.

OP bindings do matter. OP whats your size and weight? Also ability, how big your going? You staying out east or gonna make some trips out west?
Then we can recommend some bindings. Not your fault, just no one cares in this thread apparently.

At your weight, any binding is a sure bet. I wouldn't worry to much about tech specs. Just buy what you like, except maybe Marker FreeTens :-p

since you dont weigh that much and need a high din the marker squires would be pretty sweet.

If your going pretty big (Hitting jumps or cliffs that are +40) a Solid 12 din would work great and give room to advance. Here are some options.

Crazy Fool

Explain to me why you asked if he would be going out west? Are there some bindings that only work on the east coast? Would I need special bindings to go out west? Please, I'm worried my bindings might explode!?!

This.

With your height and weight, you won't need anything more than a 12 din. More is just throwing away money. Not trying to push this on you, but I have a pair of 12 din look px12's that I no longer need. I would be willing to sell for cheap, I'll be putting them on Sell/Trade pretty soon with pics

"Cheap"? Old Salomons. 997, 977, 957 or some S900. Watch eBay and you'll find some for $30 in the next month.

It is generally true when talking about bindings that cheap = fragile, expensive = durable. The less you spend on a binding the more plastic it has in its construction, while the more you spend the more metal it has in its construction.

You should also view a binding as an investment. A binding can be transferred from ski to ski, so when your ski dies or you outgrow it you can take your nice binding off it and mount it on the next ski you buy. So, if you spend a little extra now, you don't need to do it again when you buy your next pair of skis.

If you bought a binding in the 12-DIN category, something like a Salomon STH 12 (with Driver toe), you would have a binding around $200 that would last you a good while.
