Rossi bindings?

I know that Rossi bindings are super-legit, but I'm wondering about http://www.rei.com/product/774542 that model. Has anyone ridden them? I am 160ish, 5'8" and ski 50% park, 30% backcountry, and 20% groomers. These will be mounted on 2010 Anthems. Thanks for any info, +k.

i'm about your size, and  use those, and they are siiiick for me (park..), but the breaks break pretty easily...
i would look at something different, if you plan on doing any backcountry, but if they go on anthems, they should be fine.
you kind of confused me...

good price too.

Ok, thanks. I screwed up, more like 15% backcountry.

sorry but i highly doubt you actually ski backcountry.
i think your talking about powder skiing, because i doubt your boot packing bc runs with anthems and px12's

Well, if you don't consider getting my gear on, putting on some snowshoes and hiking up a mountain and building a booter on a pow day skiing backcountry, then I must not. But then again, we don't get many pow days, but I'd say most people consider that backcountry. And who said anything about px12's?

Considering that there is no ski hill near the mountain where I would do that, that would most definatly not be hitting a jump just out-of-bounds.

sorry man, i take it back, i just thought you were some little kid claiming backcontry when he skis powder on the side of the blue square runs.

as for those bindings, i think that this year that added metal to the things that secure the dildo piece to the base plate.
thats all i know about these, i have px12's and im 6'1" 170 and they work just fine at 10, never .

I own a pair of kung fujas with the SAS 140 bindings and I totally love them. They are a little bit on the heavy side but are very durable.

I have those, only had problems with them I would honestly go to the pro shop once a week to get them repaired. At least the warranty is legit.  Other than that they are nice, maybe I was just not lucky, I also do 100% park which may explain a bit.

ok well there's a couple things, first the dildo part would come off, there's a plate under and mine broke, hmmm yeah that's mainly that, the plate broke like 2-3 times I think, but maybe I was just way too hard on them and they were never really repaired well I guess.

I love rossi binders.  My brother has those same ones, but the 18's, on his 'bents, from what he tells me he's been pleased so far.
