Where do I mount my k2 press skis?

I just bought a pair of k2 presses as a budget & mess around park ski. I'm hoping to start improving my park game (being more of an all-mountain guy w/ my k2 fujas) but still want to rip bump and cruiser lines in between park laps...

Now, I'm curious as to where to mount them. I initially thought that I would center mount them but found that the core center is still pretty far back on the ski.

Can i mount them true center? Or will this make them ski funny? I want them to be as easy to spin and jib as possible, (for lots of park) but still skiable for the bump and cruiser runs. Help?

Thanks in advance!!!

If you're gonna spend most of your time in the park, go center.

the "core center" mounting point marked on the ski, that is still pretty far back?... or the half way of the actual ski length?

As with all park skis, the only recommendations you can get would be somewhere between center and -2cm to maybe -3cm back. Where you lie in that range will be completely up to you and what feels best with your skiing style.

It is a trial and error process. I don't mean mount your skis 50 times, but chose a place you think you may like. Then ride them and see how you feel by the time you need a new pair of skis. Then you can maybe try 1cm more forward or backward depending on how it felt.

I just got my presses mounted and I mounted mine 2 cm back from center since I ride all over the mountain and not just park.

how far off true center is that? I def think I want to go a little back from true, but only enough to have them perform a bit cruising between park laps. I really want them easy to spin though. How do yours feel @ plus 4?

are you talking the true center mark of the ski? (half the length) or the core center "mounting point"?
