for you guys that have them, where did you mount them at and how much do you ski out of the park with them?

i got mine and im moutnig up some mojo 11's on them and they are going to be my non park ski (i got mad_trix for the park)

Im wodnering because the freeride line still seems really close to center and i wont be riding park with them.

Thanks

I put them between center and freeride and that worked relly well for non park skiing. I would suggest this if you have any plans for skiing switch and if you don't then why did you buy a twin tip ski?

1 1/2 inches behind the freeride line. That's the actual waist.

I mounted mine at freeride and I would honestly recommend mounting them a few cms back from that. Those skis dive like it's going out of style if you try to get front seat or agressive on them. I really didn't like the MSPs but I skied them for a year and tons of people love them, I'm just not one of them. I'm more about charging than "landing switch with sick reverse tail grabs" so anything that is nearly centered is an absolute bore to ski.

Yeah some guy told me to do that before I mounted mine and I didn't take his advice, I blew it off. I wish I would have listened to him in this first place, it would have saved me some empty holes. I just decided to keep them where they are at and ski park in them and bought a charging ski.

i have mine at freeride and there great 90% of the time but i skied vail a couple weekends ago and they got dumped on and skiing 6+ inches of untracked pow you have to lean back most of the time and becomes a pain. Depends on how much park/powder u want to do. im happy with freeride....

thats a good choice I would say 2-3 back from freeride, hope you like em. Anything close to center mount really sucks to charge on, unless of course you ski backseat (which is why everyone recommends true center bs) then you have lots of tails to make up for your style, skiing front seat gives you way more control big mountain in my opinion.
