i have no problem mounting these skis to  a 100% park specific mount, just wondering where exactly is the dumont stance, some claim its in front of true center, others claim its behind true center, if its in front of true center ill just mount at the simon stance, if its behind true center i would rather mount center, just wondering if anyone can clarify where really the simon stance is.

im fairly certain that the "dumont stance" is 1.5/2cm(ish) forward of dead center, then there is a center mount line too.

FOR FUTURE THREAD REFERENCE, I JUST GOT MY DUMONTS BACK, MOUNTED THEM AT THE DUMONT STANCE MARK ON THE SKI AND THEY PRETTY MUCH JUST BARELY FORWARD OF CENTER MOUNT. 

In conclusion Simon Stance is 1 cm forward of center. JEA.

its either an illusion, or they mounted ur bindings back wards thinking that there is no way a ski wuld be mounted forward, and that the mounring point is 1cm back from center not forward of center........that would be funny

its probably much more conveinient to mount them center rather than forward, but good luck with that

im sure the same amount of work goes into mounting bindings, whether they are being mounted at behind, at, or in front of center. so it would be just as convenient whatever way he wants to mount them.

well a forward mounted park ski for someone who would like to grab nose/tail easier or does alot of switch riding sounds pretty convenient to me...

could it be because the back part of the binding(idk what its call the heal part) is longer and bigger than the toe?
