ive got a pair of 07 public enemys, and i was wondering where the best place to mount them is. should i mount back or true center?
0 – 2cm forward: All-mountain. If you plan on skiing mostly outside the park primarily in a forward direction, and want the ski to behave like a traditional ski, you should stay on the conservative side and mount traditionally.
3cm-5cm forward: 50% All-mountain, 50% Terrain Park. When mounting beyond 3 cm, you will lose a little of the traditional feel of length in front of the binding, but with more tail, you gain the control in the air and riding switch. Seth Morrison mounts his Obsethed and Hellbent skis at 5cm forward.
6cm-7.5 cm forward: If you bought the skis primarily for the terrain park, or are focused on riding switch in powder or in the backcountry, you may consider mounting your skis this far forward. While you may sacrifice forward directional float and stability, it’s made up for in the switch riding and landing stability and balance in the air. From 6.0cm to 7.5cm forward is where Chris Benchetler, Andy Mahre and Pep Fujas typically mount their skis.Â
