Take the harshness out of park, pipe, and monster-mountain lines with the Look PX 12 Jib Wide Ski Binding. A 3mm shock-absorbing platform deadens high-speed chatter, while the knee-saving elastic travel of the Look PX heel piece stretches to absorb impacts—so you can run a lower DIN setting. With a wide 100mm brake for fatter skis, the Look PX 12 Jib Binding lets you hit the pipe harder than a seasoned crackhead, zipper-line bumps like your name is YKK, and just plain give ‘er all over the mountain.
Nothing overly special about these bindings. They have the durability you want, and a high enough DIN for most mid to semi-aggressive skiers. They are a little heavy, but the positioning over the ski gives you good stability on the groomers, and control in the pow. They are a very reasonable price, so unless you want AT capability or need 16 din, these are everything you'll ever need.
Mark, I would highly recommend taking your skis to a shop and have them adjusted, Its important that both the forward pressure and the DIN setting are right on to protect you from dangerous prereleases. Do not assume that just because you can get a boot in the binding that it is set correctly.

When I need a binding on a new Alpine set up, I always find myself buying this binding (or the rossi/dynastar version of it) Simply put, I never pre release, I never break parts and I have no reason to look elsewhere.
I´ve had these on a pair of K2 PEs for a couple of years now, and they hold up pretty good, haven´t had any problems with them. But they are a bit on the heavy side, which isn´t perfect if you like to spend some time in the air.
I have been shredding with these on a pair of Line Chronics. They are a little heavy, but they hold you in super well. They make a great park binding, as they are durable, and yet still some-what light.
I have a pretty annoying problem with these bindings. When I attempt to click into the binding the back heel piece doesn't come up all the way and lock in, I have to manually reach down and pull it up with my hand. The ski shop near me was of no help. Does anyone have any suggestions or comments. I would greatly appreciate any help at all.
Beware of these bindings if you jib hard. I have these same bindings, but in the 2007 model (black binding with green shock absorbing riser). I cracked the metal base mounting plate in half on the heel piece just rear of the forward mounting screws. Upon further inspection, the heel piece for the other ski was cracked in the same place but had not broken completely yet.
I have a friend with the same bindings who had the same thing happen.
Just a heads up to inspect your gear to prevent a possible season ending injury.
Can you by replacement parts for these bindings because the brake broke off on my ski last time i used it. Its not the end of the world i mean i can still use them but i would still like to fix them if its passable.
what do you need to replace? there are SOME things you can replace but remember a new binding is cheaper than new knee. if it's just the brake you can get a new one for about 40 bucks.
Every time I fly high on jumps and slide the rails, even a day in the pow, I am cruising on these. The sturdiness and feel they offer surpasses any other binding i have ridden before!
If you can't quite afford the Pivot/FKS series bindings from Look/Rossignol, these are a great alternative. They have almost the same elasticity, their toe piece has the same width AFD, but this binding is slightly heavier, their is no turntable feature on the heel, the binding sits up higher on the ski and has a longer mount zone (so you feel more binding under your feet), and the construction is half plastic (which makes it quite a bit less burly). You could also check out the PX 14 or PX 15 binding from look for a slightly stronger setup and still a lower price than the Pivot/FKS series.
Just take it to a good shop and they should bend the brakes for you. If the shop doesnt do it find a better shop. I have run into shops that refuse to bend brakes, so make sure you have a shop that will do it.
They won't fit perfectly, out of the box, but if you take them to a shop, they can bend them out slightly for you, so that they will fit, and still work. I have the ObSethed (105 waist) and I had the PX 15 with the 100mm brakes mounted up, very close to stock.
