I center mounted mine (MSP 181) like four years ago. they are not made to be skied like this and it took a little getting used to,(it was my first center mount) but they totally kick ass! if you want to go a little forward that would be fine and they perform great!

they're suggested mark is 6 cm back, i would suggest if you are going to ride more park then all mountain then go 4 cm forward of suggested, but if you are going to do more all mountain then park i would say 2 or 3 cm forward of suggested depending on how much more all mountain then park you plan to do

4cm up from suggested is perfect.  i had supermodels mounted at that point and i used them primarily for park (switch a lot) and they were great.  i also used them skiing pow at snowbird and doing a bunch of snomo bc riding around slc and they were great for that too.  didn't tip dive at all.  i was really stoked.  so yeah, in short, mount at +4 from suggested.

Just got my new '08 MSP's.  Have a question about the bindings that were mounted on them.  I wanted the bindings set up for all mountain skiing.  How exactly should they have been mounted?  The beginning of the rear binding starts about 3 to 4 cm behind the "midsole" mark.

Does this mean they're set up for AM skiing or for Park/Pipe (which I've been told is dead centering the bindings)?

THX!!!

what bindings do you have?  if it's something short like an fks binding, then you're probably a bit forward.  if it's a longer binding like a salomon 9 series, you should be alright.

i mounted a pair of 07 187s forward and i didn't like them at all... second pair i put on the line and they are stellar... great all round and fast switch. i put my EHPs on the line too... seems the boys at 4frnt have it right

I'd go one inch back from true.

same here my msp's are on the recommended line.

I would say not to go too far forward maybe +2 if they will see a lot of park
