this sounds stupid. it's gonna fuck up the turning radius and everything. just be a man and keepthem how they are for riding switch.

why would you do that? it's just stupid. pointless. i'm sure the only reason you're doing it is so you can say 'look at me! look at me! my skis are like... backwards! LOL!' grow up, idiot.

I have one ski mounted backwards and one mounted forwards. Both are mounted at dead center.

i can see why you would think that reverse mounting the bindings would help you switch, but it doenst... you would get the same result and not fuck up the radius of the ski by mountin forward of true center, so you would have more tail than tip, but i wouldnt go too far forward, you cant go EVERYwhere switch

^i guarantee that little freerider knows better than you where you can go switch and where you can't. and besides, he's right, you can't go EVERYwhere switch.




my level of radness... it just can't... be quantified.
