so i have new 09 line anthems 171. im 5'9 130lbs and need a binding for like 90-95% park and the rest groomers and little pow.
i know im light for that high of a din but on my old rossi axial 120's i had my dins cranked to 12 and i would still like always pop out.
so is the look px 15 jib trouble (lol w/e) good for me? any other suggestions?

130lbs i would say no. couldve just been forward pressure on your 12s that made you keep releasing.
im 145 and have the 15's though so whatever.

Have those bindings checked out. Someone your size should not pop out at all on a 12 din. I think you'd rape your knees on px15's.

Considering the DIN range STARTS at 8

I think he might do that only because of the lack of vertical release, which I don't think people should sacrifice for skiing park.

FKS120 would be awesome - upward release on the toe, TT heel, 4-12 din, strong.

if your popping out at 12 something is definitely wrong with your bindings

ya i figured my bindings were broke but i wasnt sure.
so whats a good binding for me then? could i just go a lower din and get the px 12 jib?

That would be more appropriate. Better yet, check the forward pressure on your current bindings (that could be why you are releaseing with the DIN maxed)
Are you coming out of both skis?

heh no mainly it was one ski so i suspect one was busted. since i am light i prolly dont need more than 12. i just wasnt sure what binding would be a good one

In that case, i'd check the forward pressure on the ski which prereleases and your bindings may be fine.

a px12 or sth12 would be perfect. Your bindings were definitely jacked. At 130 pounds you shouldn't come out of your bindings past a din of 9. If you had a 12 din on bindings that worked you would no longer have either knee.
