Hey guys! So i ride like 70% Park and the rest is all over the mountain. So i got FKS's mounted at 2.5 back also known as Factory Recamended. should i be good for rails and jumps or should i take them back in and get them mounted at center?

whatever you feel is right, its preference really, if you want to put 'em dead center, go ahead, if you want them where they are, keep them like that.

*but 2.5cm back might be sketchy on rails and switch landing*

Try them out and see how they feel. I mounted my Thalls -2.5 and did not really like how they skied as all my other armadas had been centered. I thought id try -2.5 for more all mountain, but I did not like it. I remounted center and I like it much better, but that's just me, you may prefer -2.5. 1 remount wont effect the ski at all as long as its done right.

Most of my skis have a least 1 remount, I barley ever get the right mount point first time.

yes you will be fine 2.5 cm back is fine because they are not symetrical skis although dead center is fine too. either way your set for park bro

It is really only a preference thing. Don't assume you will like it one way or another. All park skiers will generally have their ideal stance somewhere between center and -3cm. But where in that area you fall is completely decided by what feels best.

Does anyone have center mounted thalls? How do you like them? Have you ever skied a ski at 2.5 back? is it worth centering them?

Bro, chill with the bumping. There is no right answer. Chose somewhere from center to -3cm. Center being more park specific. -3cm being more all mountain specific. You won't know until you try it for yourself.
