I know rceing helps so mush when ur going down some back bowl and u run into icey conditions and stuff like that. also almsot 100 percent of the skiers that are big right now, and all of the ones that can ski woth a damn includeing the likes of pollard, seth, the entire french canadian group, tanner, ect... . Also the bindings are already mounted but u can slide them forward and backwords and it says speed, all mountain , and steaps for each seeting from backwords to forwords. Im not sure weather speed or steeps would be better.

Moving the binding forward will make it easier to initiate your turns at the expense of some stability. Sliding the binding to the rear is a more aggressive and usually stronger position if you can handle it. It's easy to change positions with the Atomic race bindings so just move them around and see what you prefer. If in doubt. Ask your coach.

I don't think anyone disputes that racing makes you a beter skier, the reason people have a problem with it is because its so controled; and not very fun for most people. Especialy people on this site who are skiing for a totaly different scene that involves spandex in only comical situations.

Spell the name right woman.

I don't know where I am boasting an ego.

I must have upset you for having the audacity to point out the baseless negativity in this thread. Half the comments in this thread were about a girl trying to prove she didn't have a mustache and the rest saying racing was gay.

And just to chap your ass, I have bought lots of crap on proform. Saves me money. So I guess the fact that I know how to save money makes me egotistical. Frugal = egotistical, yea...

I haven't heard of having to mount at that line being a FIS rule, but you could be right. However that mount spot is definitely where the ski is going to perform best for its intended purpose.

I don't see why you have to be so hostile towards me Flynn, hopefully it isn't over something as petty as binding perferences...

Just to clear this up the skis are already mounted but there is a feture on the bindings that allows you to slide it a inch or so forwards or backwords
