are you stupid? why would you bu a symetrical ski that is purely for park and urban if you plan on doing all mountain and pow. the only option is centre

i used them dead center andthey worked ok in powder, nothign great but ok.
it's decent for a center mountedpark skis and it actually skis ok backward in powder.

i dont like landing foward but after i fucked my heel i had to land foward off jumps a lot moreand it never felt awkward.
It's harder for knees ligamentwhen you have a longer tail but yea the triplets works well since they are designed like that. center mounting a pair of ski wich is not symetrical twin tip is harder for your kneesince your tial catch morethen your tips, at least from my point of view.

dont bother buyin 'em if you dont get 'em centered. And going 1 or 2 back wont help at all becuase not only is that a pretty small difference as far as where it's mounted, but they're so skinny they aren't gonna float at all so might at well stick with center and have an outrageously dope park ski and maybe rent out wets or just make due with what ya got, I dont think 1 or 2 would help too much for pow.

ok so first of all the mounting point marked on the UT's is ahead of tape measure center which is ok if you are hitting only rails all the time but they feel really fucked set up like that for everything else and you can't ollie for shit when your tail is longer than your nose. so i set mine up -2 which is acctually only about -1.25 back from tape measure center and its a huge difference for pipe and jumps and that wierd stuff called turning plus you can ollie the fuck out of them and they still kill it going switch. so unless you are an urban rail machine dont bother mouting these things at the marked mouting point and dont expect to find pow that much fun with these pencils. oh yeah get your warrantee ready for when your edges separate from your bases
