AR7 might have been a good idea.

yeah a dead center mount would be fine, since your are only going off piste only a few times, and the center mount evens out the swing weight, so yeah perfectly fine with a center mount

I have my pipe cleaners at center. They ski well. What do you lose from mounting them at -.5 tho? That's what I would probably do next time I mount.

Thanks for all of the help +k I have another question, what do people think of t-halls in comparison to the pc I'm 5'3 120 lbs I do 70/30 jumps to rails any suggestions (Srry to put a thread within a thread) also I can get pipecleaners for 400 as opposed to the 550 that t-halls cost so that is also important.

Mount them traditional. The rocker will really help you flaot in the pow and mounting them back will be super stable on juimps.

the main difference between the PC and the Thall is the tail. I had a set of 08 PC and they were really stiff in the tail. The nose ws quiet soft ( and actually ender up rockering quite fast) but they were really good on jumps. Jibbing using the tail kind of sucked but the nose was good for butters. The Thalls which im currently on are much softer in the tail and a bit softer in the nose. They do not have quite the pop of teh PC but they are alot more playfull and buttery.

Mount wise the tanner I have at -1 and it fells good. The PC I remounted 3 times. Started center and did not feel good, went back to -1 and was better but -2 was the best as it made the stiff tail more usable. Hope this helps.
