How do you guys set up your twin tips as far as mounting the bindings?  Dead center?

depends on the ski....i have se-metrical disorderly's and i mounted them dead center because that is also swing weight center
but on my fugitives i had them mounted center swing weight if that makes any sense so the mount was actually a little bit forward of center...but i dont know alot of people that do that

I had to read that a few times to even comprehend that.....

Mount them at core center, unless they are symmetrical, then mount them at true center obviously.  Some people mount skis dead center if they are for 100% park and groomers too though.  Depends on what ski you have and what you plan on riding too.

urban punx are symmetrical, so mount them center. i dont see a reason to mount a symmetrical ski other than that
