but i eman are we talking forward of true center or ski centre.. i can see if you had a quiver of skis that you might mount a pair true centre but beyond that?

i think i am riding my stl's forward like 1cm, but not because i want to, just because i got them used, and dont want to remount, and my boots almost fit in the bidings so i just moved the heel up instead of remounting

I go True center Mr Nolan...... i think its personal preference.... I'd never do it but maybe for pro's who i guess ride 80% of the time switch hahaha.... I'd still like to demo a pair of skis true center and the same pair forward of true center just to see what there like

well nolan usually people mount above center because the center they are talking about isn't true center, at the ski shop i work at we once mounted a pair of skis above center. why the kid was fuckin dumb and ignorant so there ya go

I ride foward. Its sick. Super fun. But then again they are my park skis. When I was getting them mounted, I was like center or foward, fuck it lets just go foward 1cm. And I definetly prefer it over my centers
