i'm gonna get the 05 scratch fs this year and i was thinking about center mounting them, how much do u think it would affect my all mountain and park skiing compared to just leaving at the normal mount?

if anything it will help you ski switch better because you can initate your turns more smoohtly, and you can stomp your landings like your pro

If you never ride switch, don't centermount
If you never ride pow (and why would you with scratch FS?) then you don't really need to mount it back.
If you're mostly in the park, center mount fo' sho'
cuz you ride switch so much better, and i find it spins easier too.

Er... honestly, the suggested mounting line works really well for switch skiing anyways. I don't see why you'd want to centermount them... but hey, your call.

if you really wanna center mount, the 'modern' line isn't really center. I got the new 2005 BC's and I compared them to the CR pro lab, and the CR's are dead center, and that's about 1 and 1/3 of anm inch more then the 'modern' line on the FS/BC. you you have about 2 1/2 inches to play with to make them more center without going too far.

if you can ski switch on normal mounts, stick to that or if you don't ride switch, stick to that. only centermount if you really wanna improve your switch steeze.
