so i just got some last year 171 1080's, and i need a spot to mount them, my 4 frtns i mounted true center, and it was rediculous, u couldnt even land jumps w/ out flying forward, but would that have just been the softness of the ski? im pretty confused. i mostly ski park, but sumtimes i enjoy a good pow jump.

try mounting each binding in opposite directions, that's the new steeze in case you dont know

center mounting is as stupid as boarding with a 25-inch stance ...

put them a little fodward of the factory mark. not too far but not true center cause that just screw's your skis up when you ski in the pow.

oh jeeze i know why, you mean you havent herd? they mout skis on the base now and then blow torch the tips up it makes for less friction and an alltogether smoother ride, i'm surprised you didnt know that

umm maybe where k2 says to mount them? thats a start...true center is for snow blades... unless your skiing a 140cm ski true center ruins the flex pattern, increases your chance of a blown knee *due to increased tail length....why dont you look at the skis of most pros (hint, i cant think of any that mount true center on a non-true twin)

If "True Center" is like the middle of the ski im pretty sure that TJ Schiller rides his skis Center, I mean he has so much tail in all his pics, but if im wrong my bad.
