Well I have never ridden ninthwards, but if they aren't symmetrical, and the "recommended park center" isn't more than about 3cm back from true center, then I would mount them there. But that's just my opinion.

dead center if your workin rails and such for the most part, or mount on the balance point if your worried about swing weight and if your more towards jumps and spins. doubt i answered this in time though, just sharing some knowledge i guess lol

Sorry if this is late but I agree with TD I've always been happy with the recommended mounting point as long as it's not too far back

Go recommended.  It's probably something around 2cm or 3cm back from true center. 

I think that skis that are not symmetrical feel kinda funny if they are mounted at true center.  That's just me though.

I would mount inbetween recommended and core center.  That is just me though.
