I just got a pair of Fujatives for grinding skis and for 100% park skiing....I'm just wondering where I should mount them. Like CORE CENTER, or +9 or so? I think +9 is true center, but I'm not sure.

honestly im riding 70 % park and i mounted +5 and its graet ( hav 179s). If you havent ridden tru center before i wouldnt do it just cause some people dont like it. I mean i kno someone thats considering moving them a lil back from center cause they dont like the center mount. So yea i think +5 is fine buts its up to you.

Naw, +8 at the least, cause I've got a pair of skis at +8 and they work just fine, but I was thinking that I would want something a little more foward if I'm doing 100% park. Cause all the pros suggest true center for 100% park. Plus I'm going to be doing alot of jibbin too.

I can't decide, I mounted my Made'Ns at core center and they work great, but these are for 100% park, so I've been told to get true center, or mid-sole (which is unsteezy by the way) so I' think I might go with true center....unless you have a good reason why I shouldn't..

find the middle of the ski by weight, and mount there.

Go to www.k2factoryteam.com and post on there message boards under skis, they know what theyre talking about there. And I think CORE CENTER is +7? I don't remember, but +8 for park should be good, I have my Juvys mounted at +5

dude +7.5 is center mount on the fujatives... so i think that would mean you would have more tail then tip if you mounted them at +8, anyways mine are mounted at +4 and i ski mostly park and they work fine, its just a little wierd doing nose butters with all the tip ive got... i would have rather mounted them at +6 or +7

Dude dont listen to anybody on here. If you want park go True Center. I don't have fujitaves so I dont know what that is on the ski, but True Center is what you want.

Finding the balanced center would be best idea I think.
Equal swing weight. Try to balance them on a rail or pole or something, then mark the spot.

probably wont be good for park. thats pretty far from center. i had my pistols mounted at +1 on accident and they were so unbalanced spinning and skiing switch sucked. i dont know though it depends on you.

If your gunna have a pair of skis just for rails and shit then get then core center mounted so your sure that you have a perfect center balance on the rail

yeah get them mounted at core center, not true center. thats where they were intended to be skiied at for park. thats where the factory team mounts its park skis at.
