Lots people here go a few cm back from center, some kids who spend all their time in park go true center. I'd be really surprised if ANYONE is mounted forwards from center, unless it is a joke on some old shitty skis. If you play in the trees/pow alot, and are mounted too far forward your tips will dive in the powder. There is a reason why all the 40-50 year old backcountry powderhounds are mounted so far back. They know what works in 4-5 feet of fresh.

yeah, go 2-3 cm forward. i had tms last year, and the standard mount left the ski nose heavy on rails. im gonna go 3 i think.

When you guys say 2-3 cm forward of center, its not the actual center so don't call it that. It is wear the ski recomends you mount your bindings. If you went past True center, god bless you, you are a pimp.

true center is the best.. gives you a nice forward progressive stance and is the only way to ski switch efficiently

WARNING: Do not mount center unless you are willing to give up turning speed. If your used to making quick, tight turns, like you would in the bumps, you will mot like a center mount for all mountain sking. If you spend ALL your time in the park, go crazy....but there will be a difference when you remove yourself from the confines of the park. I personaly mounted a pair of 4FRNTs center, and it sucked once I left the park....think it over.

mine have 6 cm between recommended mountpoint (modern on scratch) true center. I am splitting the difference, 3 cm forward of the recommended= 3 cm back from core center, same thing.

^ no, the modern mount point for the Scratches is still a few cm back from true center. not sure how many though.

stand on your skis and find where you feel most comfortable, mark that spot and tell your guy to mount them there

Either Centre mount the skis, or go foward about 2-3 cm

my enemies are mounted way back its fine in switch and everything this 'nose heavy' stuff is just saying 'im gay' but it does make it slightly harder, but its pretty simple really: park rat- centre. non park rat: behind centre. Right?

actually, that guy up there is wrong^. the farther forward you go of sidecut center (where most skis recomended mounting point is), the turnier your ski will be. the farther back, the more stability you will get. and yeah, i would go 2-3 cm forward of sidecut center. thats what i meat to say in my first post.

Ski companies spend big dollars and many hours developing there skis and where best to mount them. Buy moving the binding around it is going to effect the performance of the ski in regard to flex patterns and getting the best performance out of them. I am a backcountry skiier and I still dont mount my ski back at all. I would never mount center unless the ski never left the park. Having not skied a true center mount, how much diference does it make for your spins? I can still spin my gotamas alright and they are mounted standard. So if you have a litle park ski, surely it woundnt matter were it is mounted. If you have good rotation you should be sweet at the recomended spot. But if you a crunking big rotations maybe forward could help e.g. >540

Yeah I think it's all personal preference and it also depends on the ski. Like Lines are made to be mounted at the center. And the Scratches have 2 mounting points. Last year the skis I had a mounted at the balance point or midsole for alpine skis. I didn't like it becasue I had a stiff ski and they always wanted to run out from under me. So this year I'm going to try moving them up 2 or 3 cm. If you really don't know what you want I'd say just split the difference and go half way between center and the midsole mark. Look at a pair of K2s with the little chart on them for assistance.

when the disigners or pros test the ski, they test it mounted on the mounting line. so dont go too far away from the line unless you are very familiar with the ski
