Are FKS Bindings to heavy to be a good park binding?

2 threads for a question about the same binding is unecessary. 1. There are no red fks bindings that are CURRENT that I am aware of. 2. Any binding that is set correctly and correctly used with weight/height will be good with "park"

You are fucking colorblind, get that checked out. Try some free ones online. Many colorblind mentally-ill people get mixed up with red and orange. If I were you you should never ski again, colorblind ridden people are to me and many other a waste of life and time. I'm sick of it, you don't see what the world really is, and just for that reason you're worthless.

I heard they're hard to step into in the park.

They're not hard to step into, just sort of annoying/they take a bit longer to line up your heel. Also, if you try to step on the heelpiece to get out of them, they will usually just pop back up so using your pole is necessary. Also, they are ultra sensitive to ice on the bottom of your boot, more so than say a salomon sth. They perform amazingly but are jut a little too finicky for my tastes. I've got tyrolia peak 18s on my park skis and will be rocking salomon 916 steels on my pow skis, which I prefer a bit over the fks platform. Also, if you break a brake on an fks, you have to completely unmount and disassemble the heel to replace it. My last qualm with the fks is that rossignol thought it would be a genius idea to create debatably the most burly binding on the market, but make the baseplate a fragile plastic piece of shit. There's also no adjustability in the heel if you're still growing. All in all, they are a fantastic binding with amazing elasticity, they just have too many little quirks for my tastes.

So basically, you just need to stuff your asshole with the most acidic shit you can find, battery acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, whatever you can get your hands on. its gonna be a chemical showdown in your asshole today my friend."

There definitely is adjustability with the heel piece... Thats what I ride on and the two arms that connect the heel piece to the base have some screws on very ends that allow you to make the BSL smaller or bigger!

True. This is why I've stopped using turntables.

I mean, there is some adjustability (~9mm I believe), it's just not nearly as much as other bindings like tyrolias or whatever.
