So I just copped some Anthony B new life's at a killer deal and I was just curious about what you guys mounted yours at. I'll probably put EM at -1 back. Maybe. 1.5 but I'm not sure. Oh and I'm 5'11, 190 ish and I'm real aggressive for those that want to throw me suggestions. Thanks, y'all.

new lifes are symmetrical so center. I have only ridden them at center.

-1 or 1.5 back would be better if you are planning on going foward all the time. But I would personally mount these at center.

Symmetric skis should always and only be center mounted.

I ride mine dead center, and they are so fun. You would probably be alright at -1 too though

Dead centre. And they hold up fine through everything. I have a review in my profile on them if you're up for a read

They came yesterday. Probably the prettiest pair of skis I've ever owned. One more thing, how do they handle on hardpack/cruddies and other non-pow situations.
