Center mounted

I have 166 '06 salomon foils and the bindings are mounted maybe 3-4 inches back from center (at the "suggested mounting point"). I ski about 70% park and 30% all mtn. on the east coast. Is it worth it to get them mounted true center? Why or why not?

get em at core center.
and yes.
it made a huge difference on my PEs, and they were mounted in between the suggested and the core center.
its like a different ski.

center is worth it, it makes rails and spinning much easier and allmountain isnt that bad once u get used to it

that would be terrible, go core, basically find the balance point in the ski, and that's where you should be.

yes, he should. He will find it much easier to do rails, spin, etc.

get them direct center of the ski...u think u may be getting the best of both worlds mounting them 2 back. ur wrong...i was in the same position as u with my fujatives...ull be sry if u mount them back. CENTER on the EAST, even on ICE will be skiable with true center...trails on the east suck anyway
