dont mount them true center they will suck and it will not be any better riding switch. Mount them a little bit forward of where the marks are.

you can mount any twin tip pretty much anywhere you want. If they are a park ski then get them centermounted, and tell the shop guy he doesn;t know shit.

And personally, I'd go with the recommended point, unless it's far back, but a dedicated park/pipe ski should have a fairly forward suggested mounting point.

There is a reason manufacturers suggest the mounting points they do. And I hate skiing centermounted non-symmetrical skis. They ride like ass IMO.
