yes they do help, but they are also personal prefence. guys in the x-games ride regular park skis, but then andy mahre rides maidens, and they all kill it

They aren't more awkward spinning if you mount close to center. This just requires a softer wide ski.

Like the Made'n...which is my park ski.

I'm 6'5"...nobody makes traditional park skis big enough so I resorted to Made'ns...they are so much more stable.
