its 'center', not centre.

just kidding, center mount is good if you wanna have equal control going forward as you do switch. if you do lots of pow then keep it normal.

i had tm's last season and i rode them at +2cm, mostly because i have bigger feet so i wanted some more tail, if you have smaller feet they should be fine, the tails on the tm's are pretty good

Henry, that doesnt really make any sense. The boot is mounted to the ski at the center of the boot. No matter how big your feet are you'd still essentially have the same ratio of tip to tail, but to each...

The TM's feel pretty centered. I'd mount them reg. If you have too little tip and ski all mountain your going to feel like your about to go over the bars every couple turns..

yea your right, you would have the same RATIO, but you wouldnt have the same size tip and tail as you would with smaller feet.

Im gonna ask this question on this topic, because I'd think it would just be stupid to start a new one for the same thing (D'oh).

Where would I mount PEs? I ski 80% park 15% groomers and 5% pow. Im thinking on trying switch stuff this year (bigger fakie landings). It's not like Im doing only switch, but like 20-30%.
