Bindings for trick ski

[makeall6]

I am considering purchasing a single trick ski from radar. What binding is recommended ? I have a Radar Prime laying around and a RADAR ARTP as well. Are these OK? I don't need a broken ankle at the point in my life.

You will need a trick rear toe, a regular rear to plate will not fit.

Most people are using hardshell on trick skis. Ideally you want something with a very good connection to the ski. Wiley trick wrap is also popular. You could probably use the Prime binding to get started but you will likely want to upgrade soon.

D3 T Factor or D3 Leverage

I am super new to using a trick ski with a wileys on it now. I have heard from a couple people that the hardshells are set to not release typically, and require a special release mechanism. Is this true or can I just run a normal slalom release plate and call it a day?

My boy and I use a syndicate hard shell system and it works very well.  I don't have the tension set very tight but it holds when it supposed to and releases when it's supposed to.  Better trickers probably run it a lot tighter than we run it.

@makeall6 What's on your slalom? Go with that in front and the Graviton trick rear plate.  Just don't set it as tight per @jjackkrash, or lace it as tight if your using hybrid or rubber. It's kinda nice to have the same front binding feel on both skis.

I have a D3 T Factor on my Senate and love it. So that looks like the way to go.

I was at a weekday trick tournament this last week.  Pretty much everyone was using a Reflex Boot/release system. The trickers that are doing flips have an axtra strap to keep the binding from releasing on take off or landing.
