My friend Ian is moving out to Utah next week and is picking up a pair of used Armada JJ's that he's skied before, it was mounted at factory recommended mounting point and he didn't like the way the ski rode ONLY BECAUSE the way they were mounted, so Newschoolers, where do you mount your JJ's! Mind you it will be his all-over ski, mainly who mounts it farther forward, how much farther than factory recommended. Thanks!

I have mine at factory and I wouldnt want to be any more forward, already feel weird when in a super aggressive stance.

Kid I know who had them at -4 moved them to -3 and said it made the swing weight way better, I'm planning on doing the same before this season starts. I had them at -4 last season and it was solid but I'm definitely really excited to have them more forward.

With a ski that shape you don't really want to move too far from recommended.
