THose don't look like they have risers, and I'd mount 1 inch back from center, if you plan on skiing anything but park.

nah you should mount those bindings the way they are in the pics, without risers. As for mounting, focus more on how you want it to ride than where the reinforcement is.

is true center a good idea with skis that arent "true twin tips" i think true center would still be good with the reinforced area but is that the best for park specific

At true center you are so far off of the sidecut on those skis they will be horrible. Does anyone care about how their park skis ski all mountain? It doesn't sound like it. The difference between true center and recommended is how much on these skis bro? My guess is 8cm+ you'd have to move up to get to true center.

first question, no risers are a plastic plate that goes under both the toe and the heel piece. You dont have them cause the toe and heel will be mounted to the ski separatly
second question ive always been a fan of -2cm from center. enough foward to gain switch performance but still maintain some all mt

you do bring up a good point about the strength of the ski... im afraid if i mount too far forward when i slide rails it wont be on the part that they completely beefed up which is awsome by the way..... but i am doing basically all park nothing at my hill is considered all mtn.. this is why i ask for anyone elses input with 07 tms

i just took measurements my ski is the 182 and the black and reinforced area starts at 66cm (from the back) to 99.1cm (from the back) the halfway point on the ski is 91cm (from the back) so im hoping if i mount true center the reinforced area will be usefull

even for my pure park skis, i mount -1 or 2 from true center, it honestly doesnt take away from park performance and it goes a long way towards making them ski better overall

i have centered troublemakers from a few years ago and they work great on rails/jumps. i think dynastar would plan that people would want to center mount so im sure the area will cover it. go in and ask your shop to make sure though
