Mounting rockered park skis?

I've recently ordered myself a pair of ON3P Kartel 98's and was wandering where I should mount them. Never had a pair of rockered park skis before and don't know if people generally have them mounted a little back. I like my cambered park skis mounted in the middle. What do ya think?

Kartels aren't necessarily a park ski, however they can be used in the park. They're more of an all mountain ski. Just mount them where ON3P recommends as that will allow the most natural flex etc.

Recc mount point is close to center on the Kartels, win win.

I can't remember who I heard it from, it was a ON3P official tho, and they said the kartel was basically a fat park ski. Yes they are not a pure park ski and handle all mtn great but from what I've heard the idea was just a beefed up park ski.

It's more park oriented than the Jmo was, but still a park/all-mountain ski.

I'm mounting mine at center and not worried about it one bit. If you're planning on using them for pretty much 100% park (with some all mountain thrown in every now and then) that would be my recommendation.
