so i skied on my new skis today, and i tried doing a little 360 of a little jump. i landed way forward. twice.
on my old skis i stomp 360s every time so i dont think i just screwed up. i did notice that my heelpieces are on a plate and my toepieces arent. its also my first time on centered skis.
could the binding thing be the problem?
could it be that i have to get used to centered skis?
could it be just a weird jump?
or was i just off today?

help me out

I'm thinking because you haven't skied on a center mounted ski before you're used to landing a bit differently. That probably translates to your weight being shifted more forward.
