I couldn't really find anything about this in the searchbar.  I need a pair of female freestyle bindings and i wasn't sure what's the best to get, im looking for pretty cheap.  Maybe even a pair of guys of that would work...what's the best for me?

you didn't find anything because there are no female specific bindings, you have to buy a lower din binding such as a 10 or 12. have a shop mount and adjust  them to your level, weight and BSL, and if you're pre-releasing, turn up the din by 1/2 intervals until the problem is solved.

bindings are unisex.....

typically "women's bindings" are just a paint job over normal bindings so women think they're buying a female binding. Its all marketing.

You say you ride alot of park. What's your din range?

Lots of people will tell you that rossignol/ dynastar/ look have the best toe piece out there,  so i would start with those, or i would recommend the Marker Griffon because they are lighter.

What were you last riding at?  Are you a good skier?  Aggressive?  What types of tricks do you do?  Do you like to speed or just cruise?  These will give us an idea of what type of din range you need.  This is just to get a din range in mind, not to set you at a specific din between that range which your shop will do.  The shop will also want to know how good of a skier you are when they set your bindings, so you'll want to give them this type of info also.

Most likely a 12 din binding is all your gonna need, unless you are very very very advanced.

I have the Dynastars, they are so great. They have never pre released on me, but they seem to fall off whenever I hoped they would in a fall. The paint chips to hell, but I think it looks bad ass.
