ask for them to mount at -1.8 just to be difficult.

I have some Moment freebirds and I intend to use them for alot of park stuff but at the same time just to play around with. I have a small hill and I there is almost no powder. But I hope to go out east for a trip.

I was thinking maybe 2-3 com back?

Now where should I mount them.
break down:
-70% park
-30% everything else
-marker jesters
-size 26.5 boots
-they suggest you mount them 9 cm back.

Im having some trouble trying to pick out a jacket to go with my saga scuba pants, so please help out!

Scuba w/ saga shitake jacket
Scuba w/ white saga jacket (the saga sample from a couple years back)
Scuba w/ saga darkness jacket
Scuba w/ oakley air raid jacket in the black colorway (pretty much same thing as darkness in the way that looks go)

thanks and 10/10k for answers as always

go with the line. the blue on the edoggo is most likely NOT the exact same, and would probably clash, and my friend has one, its super thin, not something i would want to wear as a primary layer.

yes, but not as well that has actual ski carrying straps.
they will probably be difficult to secure.

real quick gopro question. would anyone recommend the flat adhesive or the suction cup mount to place on your skis? sounds kinda obvious the suction cup unless i wanted permanently on my skis but i was worried about it flying off during a hard landing?

Are Full Tilts really that good? I keep hearing constant hype and constant shit about them but I've never had the chance to slip some onto my feet. I don't plan on buying boots soon but I just want to know.

if they fit your foot, their epic. crazy light and the flex feels so much more natural than any other boot ive used. if they dont fit your foot, they may still be epic once they pack out cause the liners are so moldable.

Hi guys, help please!

I want a 100% jib/park ski that will take abuse, is cheap (doesn't have to be this years..) and more importantly is going to suit my 6ft 5 190lbs. Bindings would be cool too! +k ;)

No, he's going to want something stiffer at that height and weight.  He'd probably want something longer too, but there aren't many park skis that are over 185.  I'd say (pick longest size of all of these if you decide on one of them) Jmo/Blue Steele, Domain or Revival, Step-Up, and many others.  Just try to get something longer and stiffer.  Try to stay above a 180 length.
