hi i just got some new fujas with solomon s810 ti bindings. i already got them mounted from the shop, and im 6'1, 160 lb, and obvoisly i freeski and do all kinds of terrain. when i got my skis back after becoming mounted, they didn't tell me how far back they put them, put obvoisly it isn't center mounted. my front binding is where the center is about. now will this REALLY effect my abillity to do rails and spins? i know it will be harder, but i dont know how MUCH harder it will be. thanks

those are my motherships. yeh it's fine for spinning and all that, it's just hard to throw 'em around really quickly or do tech rail stuff on them.




my level of radness... it just can't... be quantified.

ok thanks man, i was really worried whether i made a big mistake by having them not ceneter mounted, and what do you mean by tech stuff and rails, is it harder to balance?

So you are 6 feet tall and you're 'skiing' 169s? Huh, rather than worrying about the mounting position, maybe get some stix that fit you. Rollerblade back to where you bought em and demand a bigger ski, and tell them to throw in a 912ti cause you are gonna blow that 810 to pieces... Out

wow, i rode on 173s and they seemed perfect for me, 169 isn't much of a difference and my friends said that would be fine
