the new rockered model? for like 80% park and 20% east coast hoodrat noodling aound, all mountain-ish stuff. i want the moment pb&js (which are made to be centermounted), but i don't want to be $620 poorer, and last years bridges are cheaper.

I would say go for it. The bridge was one of my choices for my next park ski, the rocker and flex is so nice on them. I would imagine they would be a ton of fun center mounted. Never skied them though.

I had a pair with a rental binding on them for a while and played around with the position quite a bit. I tend to ski a little less park, only around 30% of the time, but unless it is a powder day I am usually looking for any dumb little feature to play on. I tried them center mounted for a while and thought the ski lacked a bit of precision and quickness, 4 cm back and 6 cm back from center skied really well and crushed it for just charging around, but my favorite was 2 cm back from center. At 2 cm back it didn't feel like you were missing any of the playful side of the ski and only lost out on a little bit of power and precision at the top end of speed.
Long story short mount the bridge at -2 cm from center.

Surprisingly light overall. The weight is defiantly centered to the middle third of the ski to keeping the swing weight down as well.
