They will ski Worse if you dont center mount them. Every symmetrical ski is meant to be mounted dead center

yes 100% you have to mount those dead centre. as the above poster said, if it's symmetrical, you want to go dead centre aka true centre.

hope that solves your question!

but if its dead center doesn't that mean its worse for all mountain because your not fully pressed up on the tongues of your boots. i understand symmetrical skis are meant to be true center but can i mount them like 1cm back

If you are looking to do even a little all mountain, then the afterbangs are the wrong ski. They will ski best center mounted, but even then they are a bad ski for all mountain. Center mounting shouldn't affect the amount of pressure you put on the tongues od your boot as far as I know.

you can mount them anywhere you'd like.

if I were you i'd go dead centre.

that doesn't mean you cant ski groomers and some crud but ideally it's a park ski.

the afterbangs are meant 100% for park. if you're more a 50/50 skier then i'd see if I could get a different ski.

mounting them back 1cm won't have any positive effects on your skiing though for that reason i'd go dead centre.
