if you ride almost exclusivly park then +4 is good. if you like to rip the whole mountain then you want a little farther back. just ride what feels comfortable

yeah, i think +4 would be okay for park riding, but that 30% of all mountain might be a little akward.. I wouldn't go past +3.

Im dying to ride my PE's too.. Why won't it snow!!

i got a question though. i have a pair volkl p40's for all other mountain shit. I want my pe's for pretty much just park but i was an idiot and got them mounted +3 you think i should go more centered? my old twins are pretty close to center. and do you think remounting is worth it?

i have mind at 0 and they ski soo nice when the skis are centerd they ski like shit i think .. 2 or 3 plus might be nice for switch take offs but i dont like the extra tail in the pipe because it takes too long to release off the wall .. with mine on 0 i havent had a problem takin off switch either ... those are my words of advice not really sure what they mean but there ya go

Dont worry if you went 3 and use them only for park...they are 159's you said? They are short, Shouldnt hurt your rotating at all really.


We'll have you dead pretty soon.

yeah, my buddy ripped his binding out twice while mounted at +3, now he is at +5-6 somewhere around there and they have been working very well all mountain...

I think I'm going +4 1/2 on my next pair. I dont want em to break, but I want em to be great for switch landings and all around. I dont really like my 0's right now because switch landings can get a little sketch. I was gonna go + 3 but after hearing all this shit about breaking skis, idono. What do people think about mountin +4 1/2 on PEs?

i wouldnt even consider mounting pes further back than +7, if you try to balance the ski on the centre mount position they still tip forward. would messure the ski then mark the exact centre and tell them to mount it there
