So I'm getting a new pair of 9thWard First bloods in 180cm mounted tomorrow with some 914's and I can't decide where I want them mounted!????? I am a tall guy that can throw switch tricks and I'd say i ski switch about 50% of the time. Basically I want to be able to haul ass switch, but still be able to actually rip turns on them out of the park. I'm thinking about putting them at 1cm back from TRUE center.......any suggestions?? Should I maybe center mount them or cord center them!!????

I have got my skis mounted 1cm behind true center. I like riding switch, you don't need to have the bindings too far forward to ride switch. I would prefer for example 2cm behind the center instead of 2cm ahead center for riding switch. I would say -1 or -2.

I'm getting a pair of twins this season, but I want them for all mountain too, and everyone told me to get them mounted 2 cm behind true center, they said it makes a big difference for all mountain but doesn't really hurt you for riding switch all that much

dude, if you really love riding switch, mount them +1 cm forward of true center. At first I though it was a crazy idea, but it turns out that it makes switch riding so much more fun. And as for regular carving, it actually makes the skis more responsive and agile.
Whatever you do, don't mount anywhere further back from true center. You will eventually get pissed at having your skis mounted back, then its no fun anymore.
