there are 2 problems with that. they mounting plate in the ski isnt designed for true center for by drill out of the mounting plate u mess with the flex pattern of the ski. also by mouting a ski not on a marked area u void the warranty of the ski

return the ski and get something better.  you can find something better for the same price. 

They are cheap shitty skis.  I had to send 5 pairs back due to them being defective right off the bat.  Rossi is a terrible company.

As far as I know rossignol doesnt use a mountng plate in they're park skis.

A few cm's forward effects the sidecut alot more than the flex. The change in flex is negligible

It does not void warranty. Rossignol just drew 3 random lines on there anyways.

the addicted line is not the center of the ski. I believe it is -4cm back from center

yes the blast are a cheap kids ski but its decent for a lightweight rider. I've been riding the adult versions for years and had no problems out of the ordinary.

Be careful with the rossi sug lines.  I found that the +6 line on the S2s this year is actually 1.5 AHEAD of true center.  Someone fucked up on that one.  And yes, they do use plates, its a more dense wood.  Its visible on the skis this year with clear topsheets.

they basically gave a crayon to a 3 year old and told him to draw a bunch of line on the ski and then they named them. Choose a different company. Although i love their bindings!
