Haha
Believe it or not the overlap isn’t as bad as it appears due to different side cuts, flexes, tapers, and rockers.
But it’s also nice to work in the industry and not have to pop for full retail. I’m extremely fortunate.

Reduction complete.
So what’s the verdict on the dook pt?
I dunno. I like it. It’s downhill is really good. Uphill is efficient. I like them. Some guys have blown up the toes, I’ve heard of two or three, I haven’t seen it yet.
I know the first couple times I used my toe lockout lever it was stupid stiff and almost felt like I was going to break it. Now that I’ve put 8 or 9 tours on the bindings and another 8 days they seem to of loosened a bit and move a lot better. Not to say that’s what was causing them to break, just what I’ve noticed.
All in all I like them. Do I trust them yet? Not fully. But it’s getting better daily. I didn’t love my kingpins over night, but now they are the only tech binding I trust. I definitely wouldn’t hesitate to buy a pair over a shift. My buddy had a shift doing shift things this morning, gotta love the brake drag!
But seriously, I like them. I need to do some
Investigating this summer, and figure out if I can run the duke pt heel all the time and swap out my toes between duke and jester. The plastic dog dick makes me nervous just skiing lift days. But then again I guess that’s want a warranty is for.
Well here goes folks, lots of overlap, shame what u will. It’s taken a bit of time collecting and keeping and selling but this is what I’ve got. U see where my addiction lies. My 16yo and I are beginning to share skis so that helps the gluttony justification......least that’s what I tell myself.

Sweet TahoePA! BTW I should probably know this by now from the Tahoe thread, but are you a Squawlpine guy or KW or SB or where?
Squaw and alpine last few years. SB prior to that. Been bouncing around north for a minute.

Check out that tail on the Macabre!
those are sick
I’ve skied the 97 Macabre several times. Skied these last night. So far it’s a great ski can’t wait to actually ski something more than groomers. It likes to go fast however it turns very nicely. I’ll get a review out once I have a few more days.
