I am going to get my skis mounted. Got the rossi 120's and I am putting them on my Candides. Should I leave the lifers off or put them on? If I take them off...what are some cons about leaving them on if I am going to be jibbin.

if you spend most of your time in the park you don't need em.

off, closer contact with the skis allows for a more natural flex. you don;t need lifters.

So can you take the lifters off? I have the free 100s and i want the lifters off when i mount my scratches. Didnt know if you could take them off.

Yeah, you can change them. It just lowers your center of gravity, you won't have as much boot clearance from the snow, but like the other guy said, if you're in the park, it won't make a difference. It won't change the flex of your ski though. ** Make sure when you make that change that you get new screws, the original screws will be too long and they will come through your base.**

Unless you actually know how to carve your ski, which probly half the people on this site cannot do, dont use lifters
