Does anyone ride Volkl One's? If so where is a good mounting point for all mountain jibbing? The traditional mounting point is very far back from true center. Where do they ski best?

They have traditional at 0, Schizo series at +3 and Freestyle at +5. Obviously, the shape of the ski comes into play but it still seems like too little tail. +5 is 3 inches probably a little more back from true center.

Blister had them at +1 from 0, and thought it was a little too little tail and said they wished they had mounted at at least +2, so there's that.

Thanks! They have +5 from zero and even that is a good 4cm back from center. Obviously, this all comes down to where these skis ski the best in terms of their shape.

The farthest skis I have mounted from center are 2.5cm. I would rather not go too far back because I've always skied center my whole life. I digress though, it all depends on where the ski will ski best and I have yet to find much input regarding this.

Thanks. Traditional mount measures 9.5cm from Center, Freestyle Mount is +5 from traditional mount or 4.5cm back from center. The farthest back I skied from center is 2.5cm (SFB's). I'm not sure where the Volkl One skis best but I just am weary because I don't know the feel of a ski mounted that far back.

I mounted mine +4. Like the way they ride, but I'm use to skis being mounted pretty far forward.

Unfortunately, I haven't taken them into any legit deep snow yet. If they are recommended so far back, I assume they are going to carve and hold an edge best at that mount. Honestly, difference between +3 and +4 is nothing. Just go +3.
