If i dont center mount them how fucked up will it be. I am talking like with the flex points. Also would it be better to mount them back farther for all mtn. Becuase i ski 50 park 50 all mtn. But im strapped for cash so the invader is cheap.

theres no business like snow business.

You'd be quite the fool to mount them anywhere but center, the ski is symmetrical, they'll ride the best centered, even for all mountain i'd bet they'd ride best centered just because of the fact they're symmetrical

the only reason centermounting a regular ski is bad is becuase it messes up the turn radius. Unless you're skiing powder that's all that really matters. i'm not expert though so don't listen to me



Its only for decoration thats it and thats all

not mounting the skis at centre would just be a silly silly thing to do.

that's a waste of time. why would you want invaders if you don't want them center mounted? just buy another ski.

since you want the invaders just because they are cheap, i recommend getting last years brand new sticks for a damn good price. get some pollards.

not center mounting invaders is basically blasphemy. if you want a cheap ski that you don't absolutely NEED to centermount, get last years fujatives, you can find them brand new for $100 cheaper than invaders without much trouble i'd assume

the invaders aren't built to be an all mtn ski. if you ski at least 50% all mtn, why would you want the invader?? if you are short on money, buy some fujas or find some of this year's skis on sale. i just don't see the point in getting one of the most pure park skis available if you ride outside the park half the time.

you can find last years PE for pretty cheap ($250-300) on any of the online stores that have them in stock, and is you search this site and patrol ebay you may be able to find it for cheaper.

the fujas are just as bad as invaders 4 all mtn. there both solid park only skis. However if you can ski properly you should be able to ski em all mtn, but takes more effort.

exactly. The reason why center mounting usually stuffs up the ski for all mtn is because it fucks the turning radius. The invader sidecut is from center so it eliminates the problem

if you do 50%park/50% all-mountain, and just want the invaders because they are cheap, i'd suggest getting some of last year's skis from this dude. Here, these skogens with p12s are only 250, in good shape, much better ski for your needs...
