Best praise vs top criticism for Look Pivot 15 GW
“This is the fucking worst take ever. The Pivot is the most trusted freeride/freeski on the market. It has the most elastic heel travel, a really short mounting platform (more natural flexing ski), they are bomb proof and with the CAST system are an incredible hybrid option. Please don’t spread misinformation. Yeah the brakes/heel assembly occasionally fails and isn’t the cheapest repair but it’s easy and many other bindings have other issues that surpass the significance of this and associated benefits of the FKS/Pivot. I’ve put hundreds of days on pivots and they have the best release and are durable AF. Only reaaal caveat is that the turntables can suck to click back into in powder if you eat it. See OG STH for the best alternative here.”
“Before that line was called "Pivot," yeah, I pinched a finger in a heel piece and a nerve was so damaged, it was a few months before the entire finger had feeling again. I asked my doctor about it and he said that nerves re-grow at about 1 mm per day…”
