Binding for a lightweight girl that shreds..?

I've been riding my skis from last season, last weekend I bent my snow break trying (and failing) a 5, so i'm stuck on my atomic centurys from last year until those are fixed up. I've got 4frnt Madonnas I'm getting sometime next week, and I need a good binding on them for sure. Alright, right now I'm on the Atomic evox, 7.0. I only weigh 112 pounds, but this is getting to be ridiculous. I ski fast, carve hard, and I jump pretty big. There's nothing that pisses me off more than landing something and ejecting because of this din, and I need something tougher.

RECOMMENDATIONS?

Note that I ski "challenging terrain" jump a lot, ski park, and I would definitely consider myself type III.

A bent ski brake doesn't seem like a huge problem in so far as ski problems go, bend that fucker back into place, I think someone posted a video around here how to fix a bent brake but I'm too lazy to find it. At the top of the forum are stickied threads, one is "The answer to what binding" thread, hope that helps.

I love mine to death. Don't have dildo heels that will wreck you in a backseat landing, have a beefier set of brakes then comparable bindings, steel track heels, great release. Might be a little hefty on your wallet at around $230 new but if you have the dough, super worth it.

I'm 5'9" 130Lbs and this is more than enough binding for me. Good luck and enjoy the new skis once you get em OP!

At 5'6"-5'9" and 155-175 over the past 7 years, the 3 different pairs PX12s/rebrands have never failed me. I recommend them.

Just fix your break, your 112 pounds, what are ya 5 2? you'll be at a 6.5 din at the highest, you don't need anything super burly.

a bent brake really isn't a big problem. Just bend that shit back. Good as new. But if you're really looking for a new pair, I love my STH 12 driver's. They're so stable. I ski hard and my last bindings didn't hold up at all. But the STH 12's are a dream. And I bent m brake yesterday and bent it back at the hill. Not a big deal.

Aha woops that came out weird. I've seen a few, and heard of many who have had weird backslappers or crashes where they have taken the almost vertical heelpiece to the pooper... Theyre restill a great binding though if you have a tight budget.

And yeah Annex_ I re-bend my brakes by hand at the hill alllllll the time. Super thick brake arms and I haven't had one snap on me yet.
