Should I be worried?

I ride park pretty strictly. The guy who mounted my ski convinced me to mount at factory recommended versus dead center. I love riding switch and do a ton of switch hits and landings.

Should I drop $75 again to get them moved up 1 1/2”?

I’m on 184s, does it look like I have enough tail?

I’d leave them. That’s not a particularly far back mount point so you’ll still be 100% good in the park and switch, but as is it’ll carve better and be better in soft snow

This same thing happened to me on accident, and it turns out I actually like the way that they ski better than my center mounted ones.

Nah dude, it's not worth it, and in all honesty you're going to ski better just a fraction back, better for when you get into an unexpected out-of-park situation. My Blends are 1cm back for this

Just try em out first see how it feels. It's all personal at the end of the day.

You'll be fine, that isn't that far back at all. The only reason it would make any difference is if you skied switch all the time

Remount, cause it throws off the swing weight

If you have more weight in front of your feet than behind them it’s gonna throw off your swing weight.

It looks like you still have a ton of tail. Just try them out and see if you like them. Center mounted stuff feels super weird to me when you aren't riding switch.

Does the weight of your empty head throw the swing weight off when doing flips?
