Alright so im not completely sure i wanna sell these but depending on the right offer i will. Probably will only sell for $ but maybe a sick suit (aeryx, oakley, orage)

They are FKX PRO bindings with a din to 14, good condition:
    FKS Heel
     Axial Toe (upward release)

Therefore its pretty much a better park version of the FKS series.

i don't know why everybody wants to have some fks/p bindings or even fkx.
there are a lot of pros out there who don't ride these bindings and also do well in skiing.
what's so special about them aside from aditional work for bending the brakes so that they fit your skis waist???

they are super durable bindings that are above all reliable at their din settings without having any toe adjustment. and not all pros use them, but a huge percentage of those who arent payed to use another one do .

here in germany these bindings sell on ebay for 80 euros new which are like 120$.
i bought them once but had trouble with bending and broke the brakes.
so i think they are more a pain than a good freeski binding.

It's going to be more of a pain when you have to go to the shop every week with broken binding brakes

or take your time and bend them right....they are the lightest all metal binding ever, they have practically no weight on your foot unlike the 916 or comparable. the two bars that come down off the heel piece around the side of your boot holds the boot in like no other binding. you will never pre release out of this binding. no other binding had the bars aside from the old pivot binding. and full turntable heel is super safe on your joints.

the only negative is a short mounting pattern, which translates into more pressure into a smaller part of the ski which can destroy a ski by having the binding ripped out, especaillty if there is no metal in your skis like most of you on here.

i tried every possible method. just bending didn't work. heating them up and bending didn't work. what else should i do???
these bindings are not cheap and i don't know how to bend them. followed the thread on tgr and on here but didn't work. perhaps because my ones are from 2007 and have different brakes.
help me out

Dude, it's simple, you don't need any heat...just use the TGR tutorial.

If you really can't do it, send the heels (or just the brakes) to me and I'll do it for shipping and about the price of a sixer.

how long does it take to bend them?
do you just take the ski stick and turn it?
because when i did so there was a crack and in the next moment my brakes broke....

You were doing it wrong (insert "That's what she said" or similar clever, but overused joke here).

put them in a table vice take anything you can use to keep a good grip of the brake arm and bend them, slowly, then once then are almost all the way straight put the bend into the middle of the vice and sandwich it perfectly straight, i dont know if this is going to make any sense but it works every time, I have never broken a brake arm....knock on wood because i need to bend a pair to fit hellbent sometime soon

drilling screws into a ski doesnt disturb the flex, your giant piece of plastic (ski boot)that goes from toe to heel does.
