I just bought the new seths and griffons! I'm 5'10" and 170. I like to charge backcountry, tuck groomers, and hit the park jumps inbetween. (I have some scratches for straight park). I talked to one friend and he recommended 2 1/2 back from true. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

just bot obseth's 169s with griffons...plan on mounting them +5 from reccomended...not that i can ski anywhere as well as seth morrison, but, that's where he mounts his...and i also have a pair of the 06/07 seth's mounted at +5 and love them there for everything from pow to trees to park.

I mounted my Obsethed's 2.5 cm's from true center with my Griffon's. I think for what you want it would be pretty good.

3 back from center is where I've skied the older Seth models, and they were absolutely killer.
