I would just do it in your living room. I assume you have a drill in your house. Just eyeball where you would want them and drill away!

I think eyeballing them is a completely fucking stupid ass idea. But yeah 2cm back is what I do.

Are you skiing indoors in the UK? If so, my point is even more pertinent.

If you're just skiing park on it or only concerned about park perfromance, go Center. If your skiing all mountain and want all mountain performance, go -2. If you have got all mountain in mind, just be aware that no ski you've hit rails on will ski all mountain that well.

at a shop. tell them you would like them center mounted. for just beginning, its best to do that so you can learn swing weight and balance on rails. once you get the basics down and learn to ski outside the park and hit the woods but still do park, you'll find yourself mounting them back from center because you'll be able to hit rails and jumps with no issue

naw, you probably just arent that tech savvy. its a closing tag, as in "end of thread." in HTML, content is scoped by placing it in elements, e.g. <claim> i skied with sammy carlson </claim>
