recommended spot works great. Mine are at true center and they are money for park, but a bit too far forward for all mtn

I have a center mounted pair. It is a very good idea for park. It is a not-so-good idea elsewhere. I wouldn't have done it if they were my only skis.

I would say center mount is a bad idea cause you wont be able to ski in anything deeper than a foot... i ski like 95% park too

Regular mount. It's still not ideal for all mtn because it's like 3 back from center, and for me at least, that's not quite enough tip. Others feel differently; I tend to mount further back, I guess. But for sure on the line if you are using them for all around skiing.

if you mount too far back they will blow ass for switch riding, and spins. I got mad trix this year and they got mounted way back, it blew ass. I am now looking at the ar5's for next year. I wouldn't want to mount the AR5's too many times. They are pretty soft to start out.

Hahaha, poorly and worse... they're not the skis for those conditions. Trying to get them to bite into ice, especially when the edges are worn down (as they should be, for park) is more or less a lost cause. For the conditions they're made for, they kick ass.
