Now I want to try T2s with 3-pin bindings.

You will find out if you are getting enough weight your rear foot, or not.

I never heard of a 75mm binding that was size specific, could you post a picture? As far as the discrepancy of the pin line, I wouldn't worry about it.

That looked like some fun skiing, and I like the Menendez brothers thing you got goin on there.

Well now you know that the belt and suspenders serve two different purposes. As far as the trust thing goes, that may be true as I had heard on this very forum to never trust anyone that skis T4s.

I'm in it for the fun, the health benefits are are just a byproduct.

I just skied some Excursions last season and was very impressed with them compared to T4s. They are not as tall or stiff as T4s and are lighter. My Excursions are an early version from the 90s if that matters. The T4s stiffness gives you more power, but I think the softer smoother flex of the Excurs...
