great skis, teh race base makes a differance.
i've seen people hit rails and shit with them too and they've had no problems.
if your riding park with them i'd say mount em center, if your riding utside of park maybe 2cms back from center

what skis did you have?   generally a difference of like half a pound (which is the combined maximum weight that your old ones will weigh more than the pipe cleaners most likely) won't have BARELY any affect on your ability to spin.   maybe it isn't the skis?

i demoed these and they are a super sick park ski. mad easy to control in the air and they have a shitload of pop. good stuff for me. but yea man it isnt always the skis thats the problem. dont go buy new skis if you have a bad stretch in the park. ive been in and out of slumps myself. it will come back to you.

you cant be spotting your landing to soon. you always wanna kno where the  landing is at all times everytime you come around you wanna look at it. but keep your head turned untill you kno youve spun what you wanted. but i dont kno anything bout the pipe cleaner so im no help there

they are definitely some sick skis.  I liked them a lot better than the AR6's, but that's because I am a heavier guy and I liked the added stiffness.  The race bases are fast and can handle rails well.  just wax them a lot.  and they are super light.  a tad ligher than the AR6's, or at least that's what I thought holding the two.  I'd definitely go center, but 2cm back wouldn't kill you.  some fun ass skis.

I have the red and white ones with the thinner edges, and they are sick as balls. I hit a shit load of rails last season and they are still fine. I'm keeping them this year too. I had buttery T-Halls before this and the PCs are soooo much better. I love a stiffer ski. So much more pop. When I get another park ski after these, it will probably be another set of Pipe Cleaners.
