Ive got some fresh 179 Fujis that I plan on using 95% in the park and busting lots of butters/rail/switch ish. Should I centermount them or do like +4 or +5. Sorry, I know this gets asked alot I just want some opinions. Danke

center of core is good, true center (euqal tip and tail) is not a good idea I dont think. When I had my skis mounted at that it just plain felt wrong.

i mounted my pistols at +7.5 for park. that's core center. where the k2 factory team mounts them for skiing park only. let me tell you though, that they still kill it all over the hill. i recommend you mount them there.

^ go for core center. it's where they are meant to be mounted. at +12 (true center) it gets a little far forward and the binding mat gets thinner. mount them at +7.5 (core center). they will still ski well all mountain.

don't do dead center. go core center. it's where they are made to be mounted. that's where the factory team skis them at. trust me man, they are sick.

^ core center is +7.5 and true center is +12. it makes a big difference while skiing. and +7.5 is where the sidewalls are the thickest, and the bindings are meant to be mounted. any farther forward, and the sidewalls become thinner, and the toepiece would be more likely to rip out.

any further forward than +7.5 is a waste. the swing weight is already next to nothing at +7.5 and there is no way you will feel off balance on rails at that mount.

if you go further forward than +7.5, don't plan on riding the skis outside the park because they will be worthless and ski like shit.
