ok so my brother got the line anthems just like two days ago and he had them mounted. he got a inch back i think but the shop kinda majorly messed up. they mounted them backwards! what should he do? they're a true twin and he rode them and said they were good, but i think he should bring them back in to get mounted. is it okay like this?

wait, so like the 'tip' is the tale and the tale is where the tip usually is?  so on the front is the line logo i believe? and back is the wolves?

thats fucked.. whether it is weird skiing like that or not i dunno, cuz i dont know about the ski dimensions, but id say yea go to teh shop prob and show them they messed up and see what they could do for you.  if its a good shop they may pay for the mounting or something. i dunno

if you are really asking what I think you are... THEY ARE A TRUE TWIN. they have the same sidecut, weight, flex, etc. on both sides. Your brother's skis will ski the exact same, and it might even hide that gross wolf.

anyone with half of a brain know that anthem are symmetric, in sidecut AND in the graffics. there are no tips and tails, they are the same thing unless they were both mounted with the same half of the graffic forward. and why would you buy a symmetric twintip if you were gonna mount it back from center? thats just wrong to do that to a symmetric ski

Everything this man says is the truth. You must be retarded to ride a 100% symetric ski behind center.

Did your bro tell the shop to mount back from centre? Or is the shop tech retarded?

How could you tell if they were backwards? Not only is the ski symmetrical but the graphic is too....
