put the on the floor, it's a better judge of camber, and there is a very slight bit of camber, but not enough to really be called camber - and inch seems like a lot since my afterbangs (a ski with a lot of camber) had a little over an inch...

Domains have the same amount of Rocker as seen on the Revival on the right, JIB ROCKER. This is shown when the skis are pressed together at the waist.

go with the dinastar (or look since there the same brand) px12 jibs, pretty dam cheep and hella durable.

iv had 2 pares(on differnt skis) and there awsome iv never popped out for some dum reason.

the only con is their weight, ull notice when u pick up your skis after u mount but when your skiing its doesnt make a difference!

hope that helped!

That was a mistake.  Those Z12s would probably fold also if you tried hard enough.

why would you ever buy bindings from a turkey sale? you wouldn't buy turkey from a binding sale. it would taste terrible

Ok since the bindings I got are missing a part I am pretty sure I can take them back. So I could get the head mojo 15s for 170$ flat or look around. I don't want to spend more than 200$

Those are the exact ones I was talking about. Levelnine has a great canadian conversion/shipping thing going on and its 170$ with tax/conversion/shipping I think I might go for it. So they're not to heavy right?

No theyre really light as far as good bindings go.  But you really dont notice binding weight too much because its so close to your body, swing weight is way more important.

They're not like Salomon Z10 or Marker Griffon light, but they are light for the amount of metal used and the durability.  Definitely worth a buy if you can't afford FKS or STH Driver.

Ok so i couldn't take them back for reasons ect, but I do have a really important question. I just got my skis mounted at a new shop and I mesured from back of the heel piece to tail and its 55cm and front of toe piece to tip is 58cm. So Did he center mount them or what? Should it be the exact same or am i mesuring wrong?

Put your boot in the bindings. Make sure the midsole line on the bottom of your boot matches the midsole line designated on the skis' sidewalls. If not, go back to the store because they are re-tards.

Yep looks like they match up. So im assuming its all good? Still don't understand why it isnt equal between tip length and tail length
Thank you for the help!

Maybe the front toe part of the boot is a wee bit longer than the back?  Just guessing though.

The toe peice is a bit shorter than the heel peice on a binding, so this is why your measurements were off.  the actual position of your foot on the ski is still dead center if the boot midsole line and the center of the ski line up.

I'm pretty sure k2 measures the running length of their skis instead of the full ski, because every k2 ski i have had has been about 5 cm longer than a different brands marked length.

yea they put the flexability into the heel piece of the binding so that you are able to adjust it depending on your BSL. that can make it not exactly even with the length between your toe piece and heel piece to your tip and tail. It is all dependent on the center point of your boot matching up with the centerpoint of the ski which it sound like it does. It should be all good
