Alright i have a pair of 08 public enemys and when i got them i didnt know much about park but since ive been on here for a while ive learned a few things. Also my dad got them for me but he is more of a traditional skier downhill and such. Im not sure where my skis are at now but u can look at my pictures theres one of me holding them. The bindings that are currently on there are tyrolias and there like racing or something which i hate i was considering some rossi axials. Now here is a problem, i had a pair of 07s and the bindings wripped out twice so this is why i have the 08s, but i am a bit scared of when i remount them that this mit happen again if anyone knows about this id b nice if u would tell me. But it might just be that k2 has wood cores and that the wood was effed up. Another question for ns is that were should i mount my skis i was considering 2 back from center or even center but ive heard that this could make the ski not perform as well. I want my skis to mounted at a place were they mostly can do 90% park but still not be complete shit on the few powder days thats why i was thinking that the 2 back would make more sence.


sorry for the huge paragraph i just need some questions answered.
Your help would be really apprieceitated

last year i was getting my bros pe's mounted (he dosent know much about where to mount skis) and discused it with schmiesClick for larger image  which as many of you know, knows his shit about K2, and went with the +5 mark (2 back from core)  because he was about 60-40 AM to park and if i remember correctly he suggested that for all park the skis should still only be mounted at the furthest foward suggested mounting point because anything too far foward of that (ie. true center) would preform porly in the park as well as everywhere else. believe me, ive skied them mounted at +5 and they did ok switch, and awesome foward, i think they would ski awesome switch at the core center suggested marking and that is where i would have them mounted if i were to get them, however, i would much rather pick up some kung fujas or zeros over the pe's

hope this helps

if you ski 90% park mount them center, it doesnt effect the skis performance that much, and you get used to it, i mount alot of my skis center even if they arent true park skis, just cause i like an even swing weight and i ski switch alot.  hope this helps man
