so i did my research and blah blah and jesters seem like the top binding on the market right now... I have been looking at them in my cart at BC for a long time, dont know if i can pull the trigger....

My question for NS is are they worth the money? i would be putting them on some P3s if i do get them, let me have it... are there cheaper bindings that would be close to as good?

I need a binder with at least 14 din, no higher than 16

please help me make up my mind, thanks

Look through B/s/t Unicorn has some P18s for $170 that is a much better binding.

as you can see there are many different opinions on the binding, and that is what i am looking for, you are ignorant if you just "get the fucking binding" with out checkin shit out, the search has also been utilized with out the desired affect as well.

well then bro you must not be comprehending what you have been reading...what are you high??

jesters=dope, 9-16 din, metal toes/heal casing...(ive got a pair on some EPs) and they feel amazing, light and ive had no issues with pre-releasing...if you are worried because it is a Marker, don't be....compare it to and STH14 or 16, and i would still rather have the Jester...

other worthy binders(metal/more durable than your typical 12spring) of course with similar turntable designs would be the LookP series and RossiFKS...sorry to be a prick braddah, but there has been plenty discussed on this topic...if I were you I would try something new, you will be stoked!

because i am running almost a 10 right now, and a 12 din wont cut it, better for the binding to not be almost fully compressed

if you want, i could sell you a pair of fks 155, i kind of dont want to sell them but i dont really need them. i weigh 200 pounds so i could rock them in park but i dont really need them. if you want to spend less though i have some rossi scratch 140s with the pivot heel and i also have the scratch 120 with pivot heel that i would let go for even less. All these bindings would work for you because you probably dont need more than a 10 din. but jester is a good binding and you cant go wrong with it, but look into the fks/p series for similarly good bindings but since this is going on your park set, you may want to get (my,haha) scratch bindings, lighter than fks but still have pivot technology
