I wish they had them for other skis, like... this year I'm mostly likely gonna be riding LINE Eric Pollard Pro 186's or LINE Mike Nick Pro 178s... and I'd like to have them near center-mount for park... but farther back for powder. If LINE were to add another set of holes for their bindings so you could move them forward and back that'd be sick... but I think Head had a good idea back then.

Yea but with the Line bindings and different hole patterns it would be sick.

but out of curiosity why would you want them farther back, In my opinion they are too far back as it is.

The Mad_Trix plate was a great concept, but a gimmicky implementation. A system more like a demo binding that would slide the toe/heelpiece back and forth in unison would have been lighter and simpler. I think some of Atomic's binding systems can do this.

There must be some reason Line hasn't added a 3rd pair of holes for their binding. I wonder if it would weaken the ski too much. Normal bindings have the mounting holes pretty far away from where rails contact the ski - that area takes a lot of abuse, and is also where Line's binding holes are. Having 6 holes right there must affect the ski's strength. Imagine the ski snapping in half on a big disaster.

Or I'm full of shit :D

just go get rossi power 120 rental bindings from a shop. They slide on tracks so you can move toe and heel forward and back without much added weight. Note - all rental twins have this so keep your eyes open they are everywhere.

Mount the Pollards for back country and the MN's for park.

i dunno why they don't just add a third set of screw holes so you can just do that whenever.....it wouldn't add any cost to their skis

Yea that was what I was wondering. I guess they figured drilling more holes on the skis makes them break down faster.

or they should just make them like snowboards where there is multiple holes and you can just change your stance around

idk about the new line bindings, but i can move my toe and heel forward or back as however i want. mine were supposedly demo bindings, but the new pictures of this year's bindizzles have the same release tabs that mine do. so idk, but i can go centermounted or go back if i want to. i keep em just behind center though, that's just how i like it.
