im mounting dumonts with fks 120s and i was thinking -2cm to -3cm from true center would be good.
im 5'10" 140lbs. and ride 67.5% park, 31% all-mountain, and 1.5% pow pow.

go dead center because thats -2 from recomended so its mounted behind the sidecut or w/e so it will ski redic. good for a centermounted ski

67.5% park, 31% all-mountain, and 1.5% pow pow.

How did you figure that out?

were going to say 70% park, adn 30 % all mtn.

For that, i would go 1cm back. I ride all my skis either centre mountes, or 2 cm forward of true.

i would also go a little back from center although 1 cm really wont make that big of a difference. centermounting doesnt make the ski that much different on all mountain either. it may make it a little bit but from my experience its not that bad and i love my centermounted skis.

-1.5? good for park? good for all-mountain? not so far from center that it screws up the ride?

You should never go by what the mark on the topsheet is. Its almost always off. On my t-halls, the recommended mark was off by a difference of 3 cm. Your best off to find true centre of the ski, and work your way back/forwards(if your name is Landis) from there...

yeha but when i flipped the skis around, the marks were only like an inch apart, so i think thit is pretty close to center, i think center is half way up the thing where it says simon stance.

not again! so the "aird-thf" should be pronounced with a quick, swift flick of the tounge. the "lahth" sould be pronounced very nasaly, as if you were plugging your nose, then trail off in to silence over a period of 1-3 seconds.
