the center mount is wierd, I had mine mounted a little back and they are awesome. The center mount really makes them too specific for the park...bring them to a shop and have them mounted back a bit, it will make a world of difference! Trust me

yea thats actually a pretty good idea i think i might do that, anyone else know how well they ski??? im trying to decide if i should spend my last 400 dollars on some powder skis or if the fs will work well enough for a while. so if anyone at all knows anything id appreciate it thanks

id stay with the scraths, i rode them center mounted at hood and after i got used to them they hauled, mounting them a centermeter or so back might be an interesting idea

the srcatch is built with almost the same dimensions as the skogens, and i used them last year in the pow and all over the mountain and they kicked ass, so i would only imagine that the scratch does the same
Don't drink and park, accidents cause people.

How well do the scatches carve? I know they have a 21m sidecut so they wont carve as good as salomons, but nonetheless, can i still put em on edge and slice?

I have skied other park skis that railed better....but they are really stable....i skied them in powder, mounted halfway between stardard and modern, and I had to lean back, but they were a lot of fun....i ride the 07 BC's now, and the fs sunk a lot more, but they were still fine to ski on...not as stable on chopped landings at all.....but they were still good, i skied powder and big mountain on them for two years.....center mounted would be no fun for powder, mount them back some more

I think he probably figured it out by now considering this thread is from 2002

fategear: now when u say center mount do u mean that "modern" mark they have on there or is that not the center. I have mine mounted in between the "modern" and "regular" marks but I want to change it to center
