So today I got my brakes widened and they came out amazing.
The reason I did this is because tomorrow im mounting them on my ak enemy's. I heard the K2s mountingplate is a little of. true center would be 95cm from the tail, how many cm behind should I mount them? Or should I just stick to the mounting graph on the skis?
Ill be doing most pow, alitle grooms and some park. I also want them to be able to ski and land switch in the deep stuff.
Thanks alot. Im throwing in some pics from the wideningjob.

My dad giving me a hand. Props!

Is that just a little metal tube you used to bend them?

as long as you have a good vice, you don't need a huge tube.

I always used a set of handlebars or a bike post.

Yeah, I used  a seatpost before, but it seems like a narrower tube like he used would work way better.  Maybe I'll try that next time.

Okay so I picked my enemy's today as well as a pair of silencers. Mounted the AK's at +4. I thought I was gonna ski them today cuz it has dumped like crazy the last days, but it started to fucking rain a few hours ago.

Anyways, here are some pics, along with my "old" armadas.

yeah I mounted them myself at my friends shop, or his dads atleast.
alright. didnt get to ski them today cuz it has been raining most of the day. but! I tried the silencers. and heres a little review. they did suprise me. they were so fucking light compared to my AR5s. They were very stable due to their stiffnes, but not very turnable on the grooms compared to my armadas. they almost had no edge grip, which I found abit disapointing. overall a very fun ski. I would like to see them perform better all mountain.
