WTF - Where the FKS?

Hey NS

Been away a while between study and summery travels, but need some parts for the season downunder. Picked up a new set of Shredditor 92's for peanuts a while back and been too stingy to put something decent on them (part of my quiver of 7+). I'm fairly set on some FKS 140's in that obnoxiously bright orange, but seems like they've discontinued production under the Rossi name (only Look Pivots now).

I'm getting a parcel forwarded to me from a separate purchase in the US and figured there might be some spring sales on over there. I've no idea what websites are good over there aside from Evo and BackCountry, so was hoping for some suggestions or if people know of a local shop with some stock lying around that would be awesome.

Any reason other than color you want FKS? They're the same thing, less one is an older binding. There's a pair of FKS 180 on eBay in bright orange

Not really haha, I know its the same binding but for some reason I'm drawn to the Rossi counterparts (probably as I've got a few from back in the day). So thought I'd put the feelers out to see if I could track one down, otherwise I'm still happy to settle for some pivots just thought I'd give this a crack first.

Same bro. The orange fks is a classic. If you really search the Internet you can find some new like I did.

Pretty sure Look wanted to market their binding under one name to prevent confusion. D-Structure has some Rossi FKS but not in orange ---> https://d-structure.com/collections/bindings-fixation-de-ski

They're the same binding, you fucking idiot. Rossi owns Look. Get a Pivot or FKS, it doesn't matter one fucking bit.

Thanks man, I checked them out but its just the white or black-120 so not worth buying internationally unless its perfect (I can order pivots through work).

Haha, great to see things haven't changed around here in my absence and you're still rushing in to 'save the day' without actually reading/understanding OP. As it was clearly implied they're the same, but thanks for trying!

I know FKS/Pivots don't deal well with powder but lets hope these survive some more suspicious white stuff being thrown at them, as these things are beautiful!
