Hey NS,
Planning on buying a pair of 4FRNT YLE's this season because I found a good deal on them. I was just wondering where to mount them. I am 5 foot 11, 200 pounds, advanded/expert skier. I want to do backcountry freestyle stuff like Sammy Carlson and Wiley Miller, while still being able to shred the whole mountain. The recommended point is around -2.5 from true center, but I was wondering if I should mount further up around dead center.
All help is appreciated!! Thanks!!

Mount them on the recommended line, the ski will perform best there. Mounting in front of that will put you in front of the sidecut and will take away from the performance of the ski. -2.5 isn't going to prevent you from being able to spin / trick around off stuff but will help with carving and floating.
