did you go measure them?
take a tape measure and measure it from the far tip to the core center mark, the measure it from the far tail to the core center mark, if core center is the exact center of the ski, then you will have the same number
BUT YOU WONT BITCH

^My shop guy did just that, measured from the tip to the tail, marked it at the halfway point and then he moved them 1cm back from that. He was calling the halfway point (exact center) the 'core' center of the ski.

Geoff: No, I just put my boxers on backwards so the hole is in the back...it's alot easier that way.

center is quality. Best for park, and good for pow switch.

ummmm i heard the farther u mt forward the more you ARENT gonna get out of the ski and it makes sense. I mean seriously that line is recommended for a reason right? and when you on a groomed terrain your sidecut will be even more fucked up if you mt like +8 or really close to center. This is just WHAT i was told IF ANYONE on here has it mounted +8 or higher and HASNT had trouble on groomed terrain or pow lets here cuz i would like to im buying pes soon......

please i wana here testomonials

^That's Bull Shit....It make your skis more squirly when you nove them foreward but all it does is make your turning more agressive... your sidecut (turning radius) is decreased becuase your are not centered over the largest point in the radius of the sidecut which is the narrowest point in the ski... If anything it will make skiing groomed better... pow not so much cuz u wont be seated at the back...

but i live in ontario so fuck i never ski pow

it definitely doesnt make it better, i would say its the same. When you're carving/doing groomers, you just need to use your weight different than with non-center mounted skis. Yes, powder takes a bit more effort, but it makes it less effort skiing/landing switch in pow. I ski everything on my center mounts just fine, from park to groomers, to waist deep pow.

I balanced mine on my finger and measured and core on the bc's is the big toe bubble with the length written in it. It is exactly 2.5 INCHES in front of the forward line. I split the two (1.25in) and think it will work out.

^ sorry same thing easier way. On rossi 6cm infront of the 'modern line' is core center. I am going +3cm (half that). Make changes in cm not inches.

who says you cant do it right with out a jig? i freehand pivots very often. due to the fact that we dont have a pivot jig. if you take you time and do it right, then its just as good.

yeah i agree with that! ^! ugh +4? that's not very much... i dont think only mounting foreward 1cm is a good idea because my holes pre-exisitng hikes will cave...
