+5, that's what Seth rides at. Since the pistol has a soft tip you can't mount forward with worrying about major nose dive in pow
do it.

how tall are you? id probably mount the 179 at +3 (mine are mounted at mid sole, but i want to change that) the shorter you are, the more you can put them more forward.

seth rides the 189 at +5.

^like he said they have a softer tip, so you can go forward.. I went +3 on 169's.

Since the pistol has a soft tip you CAN mount forward with worrying about major nose dive in pow. sorry had a little typo there.

Check out the public enemy mounting thread in ski gabber. its based off a 179 pe, but i imagine it fairly similar for the pistol too.

i still say +5 if you want to do a fair amount of park, and ski switch like a gangsta. my buddy has his at +3 and he said he wished he went even a little more forward.

i'm 6'3' and my 179 pistols are at +2


Small, simple, safe price. Rise the wake and carry me with all of my regrets. This is not a small cut that scabs and dries and flakes and heals. And I am not afraid to die. I\'m not afraid to bleed and fuck and fight. I want the pain of payment. What\'s left but a section of pigmy-sized cuts. Much like a slew of a thousand unwanted fucks. Would you be my little cut? Would you be my thousand fucks? And make mark leaving space for the guilt to be liquid. To fill and spill over and under my thoughts. My sad, sorry, selfish craft of the cutter. I\'m cutting trying to picture your black broken heart. Love is not like anything, especially a fucking knife!

why how would this make the ride different cause i think i'm getting used to it but i haven't spun much yet on them and would this make the rotations more stable

How many times do have to crush my privates before i land this lip slide?



AS MANY TIMES AS IT TAKES!!!

why would you mount forward of core center? that would give you a longer tail than tip, which would actually hinder spinning more than help it as well as your balance on rails???

There isn't even a K-Mart where I live, so I'm not really supporting them. It's just a picture.
