Hey guys so i just picked up pair of Armada Al Dente ski's Henrik Harlaut's pro model and i was wondering what kind of bindings i should put onto these bad boys.
the ski's are 168cm.
Im a huge park skier and i usually just pick some random bindings but this time i want to know why i should get a certain pair and what the difference is between bindings.
Please help me out and thanks in adv.

Marker Griffon - super light weight, excellent hold.
Rossignol FKS - Full pivoting heal

You're "huge" into park but don't know what bindings to get?

Sounds like you dont need anything too burly based on the assumptions we can make given the lack of info you provided

Nah I'm thinking Marker Dukes or Squires would be a better fit.

FKS to protect the knees. Especially if you do a lot switch

px12, a lot of heel elasticity with less weight, less money and less DIn than an fks.

having your bindings properly adjusted is important too, its amazing how many park skiers bring their shit in with broken brakes and then when im fixing it they have almost no forward pressure, if you dont know what your doing dont adjust your bindings.

Budget? Look PX12 (/Rossi Axial2) are have a great quality-price ratio.
The Look Pivot (/Rossi FKS) is a safer binding, really popular. Could be a worthy investment as far as knees are concerned.
From Marker, the Griffon is a good option as the guy up there said.
With skis getting cheaper, bindings are a good thing to put money into.

More companies realize the value of a good price point ski.

FKS / Pivot are no safer than the Griffon or STH. The only binding that promotes and has proven to reduce knee injuries is the knee binding. You choose FKS for its delta, small foot print, and elasticity not its safety.

Their (really lame) website has lots of info and some research documents. IMHO, while the binding delivers on safety, it falls short on durability. I will stick with my STHs.
