I'm just starting to get into to park skiing and am wondering what bindings I should get? I can spin 360s and weigh 140 lbs

Please post in gear talk next time. Don't get Marker Squires. I'm about your size and I use Marker Griffons with no problems. Those might work for you. Other good bindings are Marker Jesters, Look Pivots, and Salomon STHs. I hope this helps and have a great season dude.

Look pivot 12s are a great durable binding for beginners. Especially if you want to progress. Evo has them $190

Squires are very light and have medium durability. They are more adjustable and light than Pivots. Get boots before you buy and mount bindings. I made that mistake and remounting can be a pain in the ass. I had to move 1 cm in front of center because of remounting.

My skis are in the shop with marker griffons getting put on them. I'll try to remember to come back to this thread after the weekend and tell you how I like them. They're also pretty cheap. I see a lot of people with Rossignol FKS, and Look bindings. I've also seen people recommend the attack 13s. Good luck!

I'm putting in my vote for look pivots/PX12.. or that type of bindings. I got Coreupts which are the same thing. Every other type of binding I've had, I hated. Marker/Tyroilia bindings eject you out too unreliably. They pop off on hard landings until you dial them up dangerously high which is another thing. I upgraded to the FKS/turntable style bindings and I'm sure they have some benefit/protection over the pivots, but they are a fuckin pain in the ass to put on since the heel piece spins around.

Look pivots/PX12 always comes in competitively priced. Idk why you would use anything else

Pivots and FKS are the same binding just sold under different brands

Because they're 100% plastic and break very easily

marker squire is the ultimate beginner binding. it comes in many colours and is light for doing spins. the m11 is also ok, but probably overkill.

This is my suggestion. I have been using tyrolia bindings for a while now and I have always had terrific results. I use the peak 15s but I am also 180lbs and 6ft tall. You could probably get away with these and they are cheap as all hell right now!

I love my aaatack 13s. Pretty sure I have last years (in green) and they are super sick. No pre-releases, super light and easy to snap into. 100% recommend.

So far they are sick! I love them easily to snap like you said. Not sure what benefits a nicer binding does?

Bindings like pivots, fks, axial, etc allow your foot to pivot up to 180 degrees to get a better carve or just charge harder in general. I'm thinking about getting a pair of the axial 3s for my other pair of skis just to test them out, I'll let you know how they hold up. (Anybody reading this, feel free to correct me about the bindings if I'm wrong but I'm fairly sure it's right)
