How to mount on MadTrix skis?

hey~
I have used my MadTrix_System for the past 2 seasons and now I'm thinking of mounting off the Systems binding and putting on a regular one.
Question.
Which way should my binding toe piece be mounted facing? Should it face Big Mountain mode or Big Air mode?
I'll be skiing 70% pipe, 20% rails and tabletop, 10% groomed run.
You should know the Big Mountain side tip is wide and soft where as the Big Air side tip is narrower and stiff.

mount them big mountain, but the real question is how far forward fromthe original mounting spot, cause i skied a pair and they def should have been mounted further forward

I say inch back from the centre of the ski with big mountain facing forwards.
It'll look like centre, and ski well.
I'm over it.

yea, 1 inch back from center is the best (on big mountain)... i had mine on the line for big mountain and there wasn't nearly enough tail for my liking... don't put it anywhere higher than 1 inch back though - 'cause if you put it too far forward your actual skiing abilitly will be hindered.

Confused....
R u saying 1 inch behind the center line facing Big Mountain mode
or
1 inch forward the center line facing Big Mountain mode?
I'm guessing 1 inch behind the center line facing BM mode.
And thanx for your replies!!!

Place the ski in the vice so that big mountain is on your left.
Then, take a tape measure and figure out EXACTLY how long the ski is.
Put a mark in the EXACT CENTRE of the ski.
Now, measure one inch to the right of that and make another mark.
This will be your line to mount centre of the binding on.
Mount it with the toe piece facing LEFT.
This is the best mount that I have found.
I'm over it.

Mount them so that the larger tip is in the back, it is nice for landing fakie in powder.

i'd say big mountain because you don't loose your twin and you have more all mountain capability while keeping the twin
