go ahead if you can't ski park on normally mounted skis, or if you have a pair for actual skiing aswell

mount them a couple cm back from dead center. At dead center it feels like there is more tail then tip

i mounted mine at true center, i skied all over vail with em fine. it was fun, just make sure theyre long enough to operate, it gets worse with shorts skis.

I split the difference. Most skis center is about 6-7 cm form the boot center mark so I mount at like 3-4 cm ahead of that. It's the best of worlds especially if you've got along ski to start with.

getting technology that has been proven to brake isnt the smartest or most economic idea. line is sweet but waiting for them to develop better stuff is the way to go. i realize your a noob so i wont flame but a lot of the people on this site could snap reacters in like two days

haha. newb. ok. and yeah, ive broken reactors before, but line is sick about warrantys, so its never been a problem. plus i'd rather break a binding than my knee again. so far, there hasn't been a reported case of a knee injury on a line binding. thats word on the street anyways, but try and find one.

being able to get equipment replaced easily isnt as great as it sounds. My friend got a new pair of liberties when they broke like that but a shitty product prevented him from competing.

I got my chronics mounted "core" center as the guy said. Is that the same as True Center? looks pretty equal to me.

Theyre ahead of the predrilled holes for the reactors...maybe the guy didnt know what he was talkin about when he did "core" but meant true center
