Yo guys i just had my line invaders from 08 09 mounted with 4frnt deadbolt 12..But the faggot which mounted em is a complete idiot..They are right in the centre but they are on the opposite side...And i was wondering will this bother my skiing..?because they are 100% symetric and im not sure if this will be a problem..He said it shouldn't be a problem when it's 100% symetric..Sorry for the shitty thread and u`ll probably think im an asshole and faggot and a poser..But in my country even those skis are nice for me...So i had really big problem finding them and now i hope they are not fucked up...

I thought about getting my step ups mounted 1 reversed to switch up the graphics. Then the guy at the shop said it would be fine short term but after awhile the ski would start to give out because they apparently build them stronger in the back i think.

It doesn't matter at all. I had mine mounted backwards to switch up the graphics. Works fine.

mine are mounted opposite from each other, work fine. I'm not even 100% sure which way they were meant to go.

Some symmetrical skis have different flexes in the tip and tail but the invader has symmetrical flex so you are good! I had invaders and turned around the ski after a few remounts and they skied fine

what the 100% symmetrical means is that the tail area of the ski is made the exact same way as the tip area of the ski, allowing you to ride switch just as normally as you would ride regular. many people have the ski mounted backwards as a different look for the ski, it wont leave you with any uncomfortables at all.

The Line Invader is an entirely symetrical ski both in DIMENSIONS and in FLEX PATTERN meaning both dimensions in tip and tail are identical as well as stiffness and flex of the tip and tail.

Because of this, you can virtually mount the ski in any direction you choose. I have my 08/09 Invaders mounted with opposing graphics as well (One up, one down).

However, if your skis were symmetrical dimensions but NOT symmetrical flex pattern, you could not do this do to differing stiffness in tail and tip. Some Symmetrical skis on the market don't have symmetrical flex patterns just FYI.
