2016 LOOK Pivot 18 Ski Binding Gear Review The Look Pivot has been a favorite amongst ski racers, mogul skiers, freeriders, and park rats for quite some time now.It was one of the first releasable ski bindings developed and hasnโt changed much since the 1990s.Similar to modern snowshoes, ski bindings initially consisted of a cable that held the boot in place.At that time, a skier had a 1% chance of injuring himself in a day and 10% of skiers got injured within one season.There was a design push for a safer binding and in 1948 Jean Beyl, a sporting goods manufacturer out of Neverโs France invented the first binding with elastic travel.
