Hi there :)

Could anyone please recommend a pair of park/freestyle bindings that would be good for a beginner/intermediate park rider. The brake width needed is 85-90mm. The skis to be mounted on are the Fischer addict 2008.

Cheers.

Marker griffons are the classics. I've only had those on ally skis and so far so good. Pretty light, reliable, strong enough.

Markers are cool but next time you should probably put this in gear talk

I've always destroyed Markers, then switched to FKS/Look Pivots and never looked back

FKS for me, used to always rip the back binding out of the track. The swivel back helps me soo much

Only downside ive experienced with FKS than other bindings is the brakes suck and bend really easily. i ended up ripping them out 2 weeks ago.

Look PX12's are the best binding for the money in my opinion

my squires have been taking a pounding and are still going strong, i had to replace the brake because it got twisted beyond repair but that shit happens. the bindings themselves are pretty durable so far for me.

Look up Tyrolia AAA series bindings. They are cheap, underrated, and more durable than the other bindings recommended aside from PX series

If you get markers, get jesters or jester pros with the magnesium rear triangle. The cheapo squires and griffons are plastic and you will break them if you ski hard at all.

Look px12 or 14s are solid too, and much cheaper. Just a bit heavier. pretty much the best bang for your buck.

FKS are nice, but the brakes are difficult to replace, and the swiveling heel is annoying to re-adjust when putting them back on. not worth the extra cash.

If you really charge, go for some Salomon 16 drivers or look px18 race bindings with the one-piece steel toes. Heavy af, but you will blow your knees before you break em.
