What happened to Linken bindings?

Post by brynhawklove » Mon Apr 21, 2014 3:06 am

Did they suck so badly that they were erased from the web? Did someone have their femur ripped from their hip because they didn't release? got a set coming on TM 22s - am I a fool to ski them? I'm poor and the sticks were cheap. Plus, I volunteer patrol in Wisconsin where there's only ice anyway... Help!

I have no personal experience but my friend has Linkens on her skis. Because they were cheap. She says they suck. Her femurs are still in place. 8-)

Ahahaha! All the best stuff is slowly disappearing from the web... Karhu and Tua skis, 7TM bindings, Garmont Prophets, interesting people... 8-)

Cheap is fun... If you spend your time skiing rather than working in order to pay for expensive bindings, then you're doing the right thing...!

If you find yourself on the snow for several days, having fun with your friends or by yourself, enjoying every moment, enjoying the snow and the sun, then your TM22s and Linkens are just the wisest choice in the world.

Some people (like me : ) still ski on 30-year-old 3pin bindings on a daily basis... And we're having as much fun as people who spent 6 months working in order to buy a pair of made-in-china Black Diamond skis...
