my experience on them was terrible...I had them mounted on some Salomon FOILS and those pieces of shit were prereleasing like mad....BUT, they were on demo tracks so that could have been the problem....

They are a great binding. Ive never ridden them, but my buddy was on them on his Ar5's. He's about 6'1 200 lbs, hes a big guy, and I never saw him pre release. I would get them. Like was said, they arent a Rossi/Look, but they are a great binding, especially what you need them for.

They are really light, but mine cracked all to hell after 2 seasons and the toepieces kept getting loose and making me eject every time I landed a jump, with my din set to 8. all around screw holes on the heelpiece cracked, and about an inch of plastic broke off the back of the heelplate(the part underneath, that sits directly on the ski). Also one of teh brakes cracked and then came right off. i had them sent back to Salomon for warranty near the end of last year, they fixed them and I haven't had a problem with them since, but I only skied like 10-20 times after they came back, and it was just small jumps and rails hand built that I was hitting. Also the bindings the shop lent me in the meantime were also salomons(the red 916s) and tehy were busted all to shit as well, the brakes wouldn't go down and screw holes were cracked, buit they were skiable.

also I'm 6', 170 lbs and jib alot on pavement, ice and such. and I have alot of flat landings because my hill is mostly flat, so all transitions are teeny weeny and short, so you always overshoot.
