I just got these skis and i mounted them on the progessive stance marking instead of true center i was wondering how far back from center that is, anyone know? Also are they directional twins or not?

a kid at my hill has his skis at progressive or what ever you said and its so far back.  why didnt you go center?  and you will regret those skis.

haha exactly, some people here either didnt read or dont know. PROGRESSIVE is true center. CLASSIC is like 2cm back or so. Mine were classic first, then progressive, i guess it makes a difference. Switch and rails are easier progressive, all mountain and powder is better with classic

LINE is pretty much killing it.  The Afterbang sounds sick and is supposed to be super strong.  I think Asian_Allen rides them.  Correct?  He should know a lot about them.  If he checks this out again.  How do the Afterbangs ride and how do they hold up?  I already have money set aside for them.

your gonna learn really fast that when it comes to mounting shops dont usually no what they are talking about, or you dont tell them enough what your looking to ski on that ski/binding.

at my shop they told some guy in front of me to go 2 back on his invaders (symetrical)
