On the line website it says the stance of the blend is -40mm, can I still mount them center?

You can mount them wherever you'd like, whether or not it's advisable is another question.

I've never used blends but I'd suggest mount point should depend on how you intend to use the ski. How much time do you spend in the park vs other parts of the mountain?

I’d use them 90% park

People downvoting the center suggestion probably haven’t ridden a center mounted asymmetric ski. Do it and don’t look back. Have done it to chronics, dollos, ARVs and never had an issue. You will not be fighting side cut like they want you to believe. Do you carve into every rail hit? Unlikely.

Aren’t they also updating the 2021 blend? I’ve seen a vid on them and they said they put the stance more forward

Had a friend that has ridden them. He says they are a lot softer but also the shape is different. I believe the mounting point is forward compared to the 2020 blend
