I just got some arv's and I was wondering where to mount them. I'm 5' 11' and 150lbs, the skis are 185. Thanks

Only center mount if your only gonna ride park. Its aslo a lot harder to do moguls with center mounted skis.

nobody measures skis in inches, it's centimeters. Anyways, I would suggest you mount them around 2.5 cm back from core center. That way you will have a more versatile ski.

big whoop wanna fight about it?

Bcs are TINY. They lie on the measurements too. I put my Ar5s up to my BCs, and there was very minimal difference in the tip. Most of the fatness comes in the waist

Center mount them. Dont listen to most of these fools, there skis aren't center mounted. Center is the shiz-nit, its so fucking tight, like the only place a ski should be mounted. Especially if your riding park. I love it, and will never go back.
