i was wondering, if you set your bindings more in the center of the ski, they will make them seem like a shorter ski when u a riding, correct? and then when u set them farther back, they seem a lot longer, correct?

you can't do that, you must mount the binding on the centering line that the manufac. put there otherwise it won't ski right at all, the sidecut will prob mess you up if you mount other than there also it'll make the ski weaker

Ya, I mounted my Enemies 1 and a half inches forward. At first it felt like I had sooo much tail, but now I dont even notice and can ride them fine.

it's probably best just to mount it where the line says. the company made the side cut and the ski shaped like that so it works best in that binding spot. but if you really want to, go nuts.

There are no 2002 Candide pro model skis from dynastar since he signed with Salomon.

if you're 230lbs, 180cm is not too long, rather, it might be a bit short.
