Comments about Marker Jester Ski Bindings (90 mm brakes) 2009:

believe the hype on the wide technology. I changed bindings on the same pair of skis (line prophet 90's) - and the difference was noted on my first run. effortless spinning and effortless quick turns in very steep terrain and tight trees.

Comments about Marker Jester Ski Bindings (90 mm brakes) 2009:

Marker jester bindings have totally changed the way i think about marker bindings. They are SO lightweight and perfect for park or powder skiing. I have them on my Volkl wall skis and they are perfect. It actually helps you spin faster because of the centralized swing weight system. I will never buy new bindings!

Comments about Marker Jester Ski Bindings (90 mm brakes) 2009:

The wide toe is pitched as a way to improve edge control on wide skis. I buy the hype, and definately felt like it helped me get the fatties on edge with more precision.

Marker also seems to have overcome the historic problems of pre-release in the park. I know... I destroyed my knee after cranking these things up (like I had to with my old markers). Trust the DIN and save your knees. I actually never had the binding release on me before blowing my knee, so it would be nice to hear others say that the binding releases when it is supposed to.

50 days toe pieces junk

By ski squaw from squaw valley on 3/20/2008

Cons:

Lacks Adjustability, Poor Construction

Describe Yourself:

Competitive Skier

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Marker Jester Ski Bindings (90 mm brakes) 2009:

new toe pieces dont have toe hieght adjustment they start to wear the plastic pivot point and become loose mine have around 50 days and have atlesast 1/16 of play they told me to put duck tape on my boot to shim it up hmmm sound dangerous to me

evo Response: Thanks for your feedback. We have not heard of anyone else with this issue and we really want to figure out what is going on with your bindings.

From what you describe it sounds like there maybe excessive wear on your ski boot, specifically the toe and heel. The toe height on the Marker Jester is adjusted automatically. The progressive ramp angles of the toe piece cups, located just above the rollers, allow for the ski boot to be wedged into the toe cups. As the ski boot wears it is necessary to check that the forward pressure is adjusted accordingly to supply enough pressure to keep the toe piece securely in the toe cup.

As with any ski binding, forward pressure should be checked throughout the season. The were time spent walking in parking lots, stairs, hard surfaces, or hiking will increase the boot wear, so forward pressure should be checked often.

Adjusting the forward pressure should remedy the situation... duct tape is not a good method. If something more serious is going on, please give our customer care a call 1-866-386-1590.

Cheers, Sunny
