Alright NS I'm in desperate need of some CHEAP park skis. I'm kind of over park but my skis and bindings right now suck. I know that these skis are like 6 or 7 years old but they're in perfect condition. They also come with the old pivots but they look like they are the rental bindings (but they don't look like they would be heavy). He listed them as $200 and I talked him down to $100 for the skis and bindings.

What do you think NS? Is this setup worth 100 bucks?

do it! Old line skis are the tits. I am rocking a pair of skogens from 06 and they were in mint condition when I got them for only 150.

Now sell that demo binding for $100 and get a Tyrolia Peak 12 or something.  Those binders on there aren't ideal if you're an aggressive skier.

I'm almost positive you can take the demo tracks off those bindings and mount them flat.

You cant, toes are on a different system, the heels are on a different system. Ditch the bindings ASAP and get some non-demos, I'm betting you'll break those if you seriously ride park.

Good find though, those 1260's were sweet.

yeah, I got some fks off ebay for $60, i'll prob throw on them once i get the fks in the mail. They held up pretty well today and overall had a really good first day on them! Like i said, I'm not huge into park more just looking for a ski to play around.

pivots are garbage compared to fks why would you suggest that when he has already bought the fks?

I had those back in the day they were rad in the park but not so great anywhere else. Definitely worth the money though
