Been giving a lot of thought to how I should mount my new Czars.  Anyone know how Abma mounts them...  or how to find out?

it really depends on the skier, bigmountin guys will mount further back and more jump and jib oriented pros will mount closer to center

I'd say go for the progressive mount. Even dudes like Cody Townsend ride them ahead of the classic mark.

depends on your riding... i split the difference of true center and suggested mounting position.  ie - suggested - 8cm back i put mine 4cm back.... but thats just me..

Depends on what they do

doesn't matter who is riding the skis, the first factor in figuring out where to mount them depends on what ski your riding, you can't lump "fat skis" into one category when your talking about where to mount. soft fat ski, reverse-camber, early rise, the variables will have a lot to do with where you, the pro,, or anyone else should mount the bindings

Mount them +15 from true center, makes switch so effortless, plus front flips are a breeze. Also, this might be a rumor, but my friend who snowboards tells me that eric pollard mounts his with waterski bindings, only for like big mtn stuff thoughsince its like surfing on rollerblades, otherwise you would go for snowboard bindings, since they are wider and fit your fat skis better, sending more power to the edges.
