I just got Troublemakers and i need to know where the best place to mount them would be, I ski park 3-4 times a week at PC, but i still like to hit up the pow at snowbird everyonce in a while. I'm thinking of mounting in the center but help me out

I'd go just a bit back from center. Sometimes mounting at true center makes the front end of the skis look sooo short, but I've never skied a center mounted TM, so not totally sure.

#1 are you talking core center or length center
#2 if its core center then i'd say about 3-4 cm forward. if it length center 2-3 cm back from there

Please don't center mount your skis. If you're going to screw them up like that, just give them to someone who won't waste them. 3-4cm forward of the mounting line at MOST.

I'd find the center of the length of the ski, then mount em like 2 cm back from that

if you mount tms at the center of gravity, the tail is longer than the tip. if you mount them at sidecut center, they are nose heavy on rails. if you look at the '175', and go up a few cms, there is a point where the black hit points backwards- mount them therr.

the flex pattern is designed for the binding in the middle, mounting else where will screw up the weight distribution and flex pattern. also just a side note it is very different skiing on skis that you had mounted normally and then got them centered. i don't know if thats just me but i found it awkward for the first 2 jump hits but it is easier to carve switch

core center is where the ski is designed to have the binding put sort, it is the thinks part of the ski, where as length center is, smack dab in the middle of the ski measure from tip to tail, i have my madtrix centered even though its not core center
