Would I get crucified for using marker griffons on Vishnu wides?

Who gives a fuck you could put Velcro on your Vishnu’s and I wouldn’t care

I have V's with griffons. Now you have met some one with that has V's with griffons.

Dude you care way too much

I just heard a lot of people saying that markers were bad on Vishnu’s but I didn’t know if it was just cosmetic or a performance problem.

They’ll work great just won’t get that nice penetration that comes with pivs

Hands on sight if I see you with anything besides pivots on Vishnus
... No one cares what bindings you use OP, in fact, no one cares what you look like or really do in life as long as it doesn't effect them.
If they do care, they've got something else goin' on and that's nothin' to worry about.

a homie had some old jesters on his wides. they looked better than the gold pivots he changed them out with

No one cares what bindings you put on your skis, they're yours, and the people that do care are fucking idiots.

There are reasonable considerations when picking a binding for a ski beyond din range, price, and colour.

material is the main one people consider with the griffons having more plastic components than pivots, the griffon is considered less durable. This does make them lighter though which for some is a consideration.

another reason you might pick pivots over griffons would be the stack height. It’s marginally lower and so people feel they get a better connection to the ski being closer to it, giving them more control.

something that’s not talked about a whole lot is the elastic travel of the toes and heels of bindings. Pivots overall have better elastic travel than the griffons, which means, especially if you a learning to do things like butters and you’re heavily pressuring on the bindings in multiple directions, your boots can get further out of line from the ski and return to the neutral position without releasing. Kind of like having longer travel on your bike suspension before you bottom out. It’s a reason people will be comfortable having their pivots at a slightly lower din than other bindings.

All that said, if you’ve got them, you’re comfortable riding on them, and confident in how they release and feel good about their weight, there’s no reason you shouldn’t transfer them over. You can always change them out later if you change your mind.

i love hating on markers but it's mostly a joke. they're fine bindings and the only risk you run here is bothering 12 year olds who could prob use an 11 din binding

Griffons are great. I’ve never broken a pair and I have skied them hard for years. They’re always super cheap to buy, and you save some weight.

nobody cares but lots of people use pivots cuz the shorter mounting pattern interferes less with the flex but it’s probably negligible

Here is a simple flow chart.

Do you live in the Midwest or a flat part of the East?

If yes: You will be hated on.

If no: No one gives a fuck just ski.

I ski in Vermont and New Hampshire

Then you're probably good as long as you ski somewhere with some vert.

ive seen some nasty ass bindings on v's. no one cares tho as long as your brakes work enough that your skis dont fly down the mountain when your hiking park

People don't like Griffons because they're a lower DIN binding made with mostly plastic, which makes them less durable especially for a large, aggressive skier. If you're not a big person they will work fine and bed lighter than some other options.
