about 90% sure i am gettin these next season...just wanted to know some of ur thoughts on mounting points.

i will use it a few days in the park (jumpin ONLY...on small lil kickers) but mainly it will be my all "mountain" ski.

would center completley fuck the ski? where is reccommendid(spelt right) compared to the center of the ski?

ive found the magic point on skis is about -3 from true centre (give or take depending on how much time u spend in the park/switch ridin and all mountain)
still slays pow and what not, but still skis switch very similar to a truecentre

Bad idea to mount seths center or super close to center.  The sidecut is definitely not engineered for it.

+5 on the graph, end of discussion. Seths get mounted there or at the center.

i mounted my seths 3 forward of "standard" or "recommend" and they ski great.  They are my all mountain ski so I don't do a ton of jibbing on them, I have other skis for that purpose.  But they kill it all mountain.  I would go 3 forward of recommended, I think that is 4 back from center.

However, I have also heard that 5 forward of recommended is the money spot.  I remember there being good information on the k2 forums about it, so you might want to check those.,

i thought possibly going a lil farther forward because of the added 15/20 rocker...
