I would go with the Jester for your size then. It's going to be the lightest and best park specific binding you can find also it'll hold up extremely well.

The binding I personally use and recommend for park riding would be the Marker Jester or Griffon (Griffon if you're a lighter rider). They're extremely lightweight and allow for great flex on the ski. Also they extremely durable and bombproof, I have them on 3 different skis and they never let me down, even on my big-mountain ski.The PX-12 is a solid option as well, I'm just personally not a huge fan of Look/Rossi or Salomon bindings.I am a bigger fan of look(dynastar, rossi) bindings over the any other because I have never had a problem popping out, with your weight you need to get some look px-12's and crank them up to 10 and you will be set. I have my marker jesters at 11 on my scott P4's (107 underwaist) and have poped out a couple times and have been lucky that I havent gotten hurt.

If you going with a 172 say your 5'9 or 5'11 and center it go with a 180 because of what I heard with true center skis is they feel too short in the front if there your size my suggestion is center but go a little bigger.I think you guys are missing the point, this a symetrical ski it has to be center mounted, if you want it to ride longer you buy it longer and mount at center, if you change the mounting point it won,t ski as intended. YOU CAN'T go back from rec.

I would assume since they are symetrical that the mounting point is at center and genraly you can't change that without messing up how the ski is intended to work. but a +5 means 5cm foreward of factory rec. mounting line.

These skis are excellent for pretty much any intermediate to advanced park skier, thanks to the low swing weights and the stiff flex. The same low weight and stiff flex makes this a less forgiving all-mountain ski, so if you already like to bomb the all-mountain, then you should have to experience and technique to handle them. The center mount would handle alright, but maybe a +5 would be a better all-mountain with a park focus option.

Well they are symemetrical so you have to center mount them, if your talking about comparing these to a different park ski that is mounted 2cm back. A center mounted ski skis a lot better switch, and is more balanced when spinning off jumps, the downfall is that they don't carve as well on groomers or float as well in powder because of some tip dive, and some center mounted skis are not as stable at speed, they get squirrly.

Yes, these are the 07/08 model.

This is a symmetric twin, so you would have to mount them at dead center, a good binding would be something along the lines of the Marker Jester, since the weight is balanced between the toe and heel piece, it is lighter than most 16 din bindings, and it has a flatter stance, another one would be the Salomon sth16, this is a little heavier
