True center or recommended

For park I've been going with true center mounts but I was curious about how you baddies and daddies shred. Snagged the Honey Badgers on sale so I'm considering possibly switching things up once my current snow sticks get smashed. Hopefully the Tyrolia Attack 13s hold up for its 3rd marriage to all that's bad n rad

It’s a pure trade off tbh- I love the low swing weight and having a shit ton of ski behind the binding to forgive backseat landings and switch carving like a hero because it’s so easy- but they ski forward like shit if you are ahead of the side cut. No matter what you do there will be times you wish you made the other decision just is life

I ski my edollos 2.5 back and I don’t have any reason to go forwards. I also don’t ski switch all that much tho

I do a healthy dose of switch so that's the only thing that convinces me to stick with center. Got no complaints for grinds but wonder how much of a difference there is when mounted a tad back

Wish I could go that deep m8, you think too highly of me but hopefully I can gain the distance through desire and determination.

If you ski 100% park, true center is kinda good?

center mount for life for me

I'm a park rat obviously but I have no issues ripping them around real terrain when I actually go somewhere with more than 300ft vert

throw em 1 or 1.5 cm back, that is enough to feel an increase in performance outside of the park without sacrificing any function in the park (IMO)

pretty sure this is what most pros do, I don't think center mounted has to be DEAD center
