True center for sure, it performs excellent in park and not to bad in other conditions. Especially if you want to ski pow switch.

mount them exactly at true center. the pipe cleaner is for park. If i see you outside of the park with such a sick park ski, I will kill you.

i definately wouldn't have gotten pipe cleaners if i was just skiing park....i would have gotten ar6's.  the pipe cleaners have smaller edges and a race base and are more all-mountain oriented i thought.

well they're technically more pipe oriented, but those pipe features would probably make them sick out of the park... I mounted my ar6s at 2 back from center and it works mad for everything

True center. Best park ski out there. You shoulda nabbed yourself a pair of AR6s like the other guy said.

Alright already, calm down. The Pipe Cleaner was designed by Armada as a pipe machine. The race base, smaller edges ( no rails in the pipe) , flex pattern, and sidecut are set to create what amounts to the perfect pipe ski. Not suprisingly, this combo performs very well outside of the pipe, which explains all the great reviews in Powder, Freeskier etc. Rails are not the point of this ski, and using it only for park may be a headache in the end. However, if I was not into rails and needed one ski to do everything, this would be it.
