I'm not center mounted. In fact, I'm BACK from recommended boot center. I'm a crazy son of a bitch.

i ride centered madtrix (older ones) and i love em, no problems with carving, i can go super fast and still hold a good turn. and the switch riding is nice, but i had the choice to remount them, i might mount then a 2-3 cm back.
my friend has fujies mounted at the 'core center' and i've ridden them and they ride the same as my centered mt's

Skibum, Pistols are meant to be used as an all-mountain ski, and so the recommended mounting point is in the right area, so that the skier can take advantage of a longer tip. Line has a pretty progressive mount too. +1 cm is only one cm, look on the side of your ski, its not that much.

I have my new Ar5's mounted at the reccomended line which is back from center, but interestingly i put them on a balance thing and found out that they are alomst perfectly balanced. in other words the front and back weight about the exact same because the heel piece is heavier. so in terms of spinning you get the best by mounting the Ar5's at the reccomended line. i dont know if htat made sense but whatever

you guys are retarded for centermounting skis...if you ever want to ride them outside the park, like MAKING TURNS or SKIING POWDER its going to be a bitch if they are centermounted...

seeing as they all say its perfect for everything when its not, not much at all. Have you tried skiing REAL STEEPS (not the landing of your park jumps) on skis that are center mounted? you gotta lean way backcause of all that tail.

but i guess when they say its perfect for everything, they mean perfect for everything inside the park (rails, jumps, 1/2 pipe)

It's all about what you're going to be doing. There's a formula:
park/pipe=center
powder/steeps/etc.=back

Find a happy medium if you don't do purely any one type of skiing on the skis. Personally, I like having one pair further back that has edges for everything but park and a more centermounted pair for park.

'180 net grab = NOT a new trick!'

Have you ever seen a little kid slide back down the inrun of a kicker without going over? This is why parents shouldn't dump their kids off anywhere near the park...

^thats great if you got the dough for 2 pairs of skis but if yeah dont, mount em +2 or +3 from the regualr mounting point so you dont sour your ski experience outside the park

yea he IS right cause i pretty much ONLY ski park because i live on the east coast, but when i ski out of the park i can barely ski... i went off about a 10 foot cliff at tremblant today and was skiing away fast because of the steep downslope and there was a little bit off powder and i was leaning WAY back and my tips still caught and i did a somersault and my shins ended up killing after

my enemies arent centre mounted, just a bit back, but i think im going to get some fujy's or old scratchs and get them centre mounted



See, there's three kinds of people: dicks, pussies, and assholes. Pussies think everyone can get along, and dicks just want to fuck all the time without thinking it through. But then you got your assholes, Chuck. And all the assholes want us to shit all over everything! So, pussies may get mad at dicks once in a while because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes, Chuck. And if they didn't fuck the assholes, you know what you'd get? You'd get your dick and your pussy all covered in shit!

Its all about preference... like if you ski like 90% park and higher you would want to get your skis true center mounted or close to true center... if you ski 50% park you might want to get it moved up a few centemetres from alpine and if you ski below 50% park you'd probably want to have it set to alpine

If the ski is long enough, a center mount won't impact as much as you think.

Ive got the 186 Liberty Reapers 2cm from true center(Which is pretty close to center mount anyway), and they ride fine at high speeds on the groomers, and work wonders in the powder.

that is quite jibtastic, sir.
