no i got them for free after i already had new skis, and i dont wanna sell them because i like them too much. i wanna keep the edges sharp and not center mount them, so it does make sense having a ski for pipe.

You will get way more pop out of the tails if you centermount them which I highly reccomend.

true center for pipe? whats wrong with you? seriously. YYou almost never ski switch in pipe, the carving is better back from true center and you tke better advantage of the flex patter farther back closer to core center

2-3cm back from true center would be perf, unless you are trying to progress the sport by having full switch pipe runs then you would centermount them

dont true centre mount as it makes carving harder which is what you want in pipe. You kids have no idea.
