Nee? knee binder?

I held em at SIA, and they felt like plastic pieces of shit made for intermediate skiers.

They are for intermediate skiers. Mostly so they don't hurt their knees when they fall on relatively easy or slower runs. They would never hold up to any freestyle terrain

The Knee Binding is not anything you want if you ever plan on landing switch.  It is designed to release off the tibial axis to reduce knee blow outs and spiral fractures which is fantastic if you ski in one direction because the heels can release to the side as well as upward.  So if you take an awkward fall backwards or start to twist you knee it can save you, but if you land hard switch you will walk clean out of them, or at least that is my experience.  Great concept and now they make a carbon version that is more substantial for aggressive skiers but still not something I trust for any park riding.

So you have gresed on these then?

This is e.will's post from another thread on them.

So you guys want to know how these bindings hold up for park skiing demands? Here ya go. To give you all some background, i have p18's on my park skis at a din of 11.5, and My jesters on my SFB's are at 12. I have also ruptured my patellar tendon and tibia 4 years ago.John gave me the opportunity to ride this binding along with two of my friends this past winter. First of all, they have a very odd feel out of the box. You definitely feel the "elasticity", which is made me feel uneasy at first, but then you realize that this is in fact a major selling point of this binding. It doesn't pre-release as often as other bindings that are much more rigid. Cruising on them is all fine and well once you get over the initial wierdness felt by switching to this binding. you can plainly see that this binding is amazing for its intended market of recreational skiers terrified of tearing their knee.For park skiing, well, they aren't ready...YET. Between the three of us on the binding, 2 pairs were broken (albeit repairable), countless ejections occurred, and genuine uneasy feeling was shared by all. It was just odd, i really didn't feel comfortable pushing myself on them. The din would have to be cranked for them to make me feel truly secure. But once you crank the din, the whole design innovation packed into this binding are effectively nullified.But we talked for a couple hours after the day on the hill, and John seems to be interested in seeing if he can tap this market. the binding coming out next year look a lot more impressive. Higher din range was discussed. Hopefully we can work something out further to test a more park friendly binding.Sparknotes: if you're going to ride park hard, this binding isn't ready yet. However, John is doing great things with this binding and is trying to make it safe, appealing, and a high performance binding.

Awesome, thanks, sorry if this is a repost.

Considering what I've done to metal bindings, I worry about the durability, but its a cool concept for sure. I'm all for new players and ideas in the binding arena.

interesting, the concept seemed very solid, but the model they have right now also seemed a bit toyish to me ..... would definately be awesome if a company like that could grow up and produce a quality binding for advanced/freestyle skiing
