Binding position on faction 1.0

Just got a pair of faction 1.0's I'm going to use them pretty much only in the park. Im wondering if I should set my boots at the so called "Candide" line which is slightly back from center or should I just dead center them since they're basically only for park use. There's not really any massive kickers at my park where I think I'd need the extra bit in front so I'm inclined to go center mount. Thoughts?

Pretty sure the Candide line on those is like maximum 2cm back from centre so realistically doubt you'll notice the difference, but if you're not fussed about any extra forward stability then go for it man

I have last year's Candide 1s. The Candide line is 1cm back from center. I ride them at that line and I love them

Thanks for the input guys! I have heard really good things about the Candide line, and the only reason I'm sort of considering center is because they will be for strictly park. Granted, 1cm won't make much of a difference, what pros/cons would there be for center mount? With respect to swing weight, forwards/backwards skiing and anything else you can think of?

I ride mine 90 percent park, that 1 cm back just makes them more playful and fun when you want to take that occasional out of park run. That 1 cm back will not affect your park experience

Yea good point, I think I'll mount on the Candide line. That way even if I go out of the park with them they're still a good time. I also figure swing weight and balance are well adjusted at that point
