hey all.... I got a "triple" of 05/06 trips, and i'm just wondering where to mount them, if I ski about 60-80% all mountain, and 20-40% park, although I am wanting to go more in the park this season, so it'd be more like 45% park. I'm not thinking true center, but what do you think?

btw, are the NEOX 614 bindings pieces of crap? i want to know before i mount.

I've been a ski tech for the past 5 years, and i swear that the Atomic bindings comes alone in 1st place for worst binding ever built in the ski industry! No release points!
If you can get something more safe and solid like 1-Look/Rossi or 2-Tyrolia or 3-Salomon it would be way better for your skiing. Those Atomic bindings always break and if you break them middle of Feb... you'll wait 4 weeks to get them back!
And dont get me started on stupid foam skis with nothing inside them... At leats this year's its wood.
Ever notice pros on Atomic dont ride the Atomic binding...

^well i was riding on the neox for a while last year and never broke a pair.

I broke a pair of salomon's 916 but no neox.Still, that binding wasnt the best thing atomic made fro freeskiing.

Anyway, I mounted them true center and even got a pair mounted +1 from true center and they worked well.

thanks, I ski mainly at mammoth, so i'm not sure if the center mount would be good for my all mountian, and in the park, i'm not tooo into switch anyways, but again, since i'm going more park this season, it might be good to have them close to center, at least for landing switch. so about -1 is a good bet?
