I can get a deal on some EP pros, this years or last, although i will probably get last because I prefer that graphic, and I think I'm gonna centre mount them. Here is my reasoning.
-I'm 5'8 and 140, 185 is a long ski, and it will ski shorter at centre
-Its the softest ski out there, having a little extra flat behind the foot will give a little more support..
-I am used to symettrical skis, and centre mounts..
-I pmed one of the line riders and he said go centre.
Thoughts? also 08 vs 09 vote if you have nothing else to say..

recommended is -2. i know that. i think a little more tail will help stability, its a theory. anyone know? anyone centre mounted em?

I would mount recommended. No one skis switch more than pollard, he rides at recommended. You're small, so you don't really need the extra stability of 2 cms more tail unless you're a backseat bandit. Oh and get last years. I personally like this years more, but if you like last years than go for it.

I would mount as advised they are like that for a reason normally, as for which year, I'm pretty sure they are the same this year and last so if you like last years graphics get them, plus they will be cheaper, so more money for getting other stuff.

I mounted mine +2. And if I'm not mistaken recomended is only -3cm from true center. I couldn't make up my mind so I split the difference.

And this years graphic is way tighter than last years imo.

i got a variation of answers including PMs and here and it seems about 50/50.. I think i'm gonna go with my instinct and go with true.. I won't have any problems with tip dive and i do occasionally land a little back when skiing regular so i would like the extra support.. i dunno, i'll make the call when i get in the shop... might split the difference.. as for graphics, i prefer 08 Topsheets and 09 Bases.. I'll save a bit of money on the 08s so i'll get them..
