There's really no reason not to, unless you won't be in the park that much. What skis do you have, and how much my will you use them outside of the park?

Definitely go with center mounted. You won't be disappointed. Especially for a ski like the blend which has an even flex it'll perform best center mounted.

No no no. IMO you should only ever center mount a symmetrical ski. Non symmetrical should be a little back.

You can a lot more performance than you lose by mounting with the sidcut rather than center...the weight is honestly negligable

Imo non symmetrical skis ski just fine centered. But it depends to the ski, i skied my revisions centered with 10mm wider nose than tail and they held Up real good, i liked skiing switch with them more than with symmetrical skis alot more.

They ski just fine center mounted, but they'll ski better at the recommended line.

Center for life, once you go there you'll never go back.
The playfulness, manueverability and balance... it's awesome. You just have to learn to ski very much over the middle of the ski when you're going fast.

dont center mount unless your skis are symmetrical or you literally only ski park/ride switch like 90% of the time

otherwise you lose more performance than you gain
