i just started skiing last year but progressed a lot. so when they monuted them i had no idea what to say so they're mounted pretty far back. i learned to ride backwards good and do 180's. oh yeah and i have 174 PE's. i ride at mountain creek in jersey so its park and some down hill and through woods and shit. should i remount them more towards the center to make it easier to spin and ride backwards? maybe not center but close?

The back recommended mounting line on PEs is really far back. I would say you should definitely move them up.

yeah if you're in jersey, you'll definitely be skiing NO pow.

so yeah, center mount it's a lot more fun.

I had my PEs at 3 cm back from TRUE center. heh i feel like i've said that so many times. it was sick though I have some TMs at true center and the PEs skied way better out of the park.
