Where should I set the centre on my ski boot. Should I mount it true centre or classic mount. I'm skiing on the Nordica badmind 2017 170 cm. I'm 15 years old and an intermediate skier. I'm 175cm(5'8) tall, 60kg (130 lbs). I ski groomers and park. I wan't to carve better but also being able to do backflips in the park. Also what should my DIN walue be?


Thanks.

Probably go somewhere in the middle. Closer to the classic mount for carving. Your DINS also depend on the size of your boot. Let the shop who mounts the skis set your DIN.

Use this or a shop?

As far as mount point, those look like demo bindings? If yes you can play around with it. Start at 2-3cm back from center? I should note I know nothing about that particular ski.

If you take it to a shop they will set the din automatically.

Backflips are a trick that can be done on literally any ski so I wouldn't be too concerned about needing a center mount for that specific purpose. Center mount is more useful for spins/rails/skiing switch
