This is probably a really bad idea

That’s dumb. Would feel weird because you would be mounting way in front of camber and sidecut centre. 192 blackops 98 is baller, find a pair used for hella cheap. Usually 200-400 with bindings.

bogustI get an insane pro deal on Fischer skis and I like the idea of a directional all mountain ski which I center mount and ski only park on. Does anyone know what would happen in terms of skiablity if I mounted a 190 ranger 102 dead center or maybe -2.

This is most certainly a terrible Idea but I like the way the ski looks and the nightsticks are all too short for me.

Im confused, if your only going to be skiing park why not just get park skis?

-2 could work. I think it has potential

I have the 118s which are baller and I have skied the 98s which I liked. The ranger $200 cheaper tho

good question

If a 190 ranger is good for you just go for the 188 nightstick 104.

Mounted my dps koala 103 at -2, seems like a fairly similar ski. I am for sure a bit in front of the camber but feels quite natural. Being so far forward on the ski really opens up the tips, making it easier to get over the noses for butters and nollies. I really like mine, but they are stiffer than what i preffer. Still a good do it all ski to haul some ass in the park or some boot deep.

Get a ski that’s meant to be mounted near the center of the ski and it will perform alright. Getting a directional ski that’s meant to be mounted -8 or more and mounting it center and exclusively skiing park will mean you’re always fighting how the ski wants to ski and I think would in fact be a bad idea.

if they at least go past your shoulder just swallow your pride and ski the nightsticks lmao

OP, just go with the Nightstick 104 in a 188, it's roughly what you're looking for. Recommended mount point is -3.4 cm from center, that's perfect for mounting around -1 or -2 for park use.

On the Ranger (recommended mount is -10cm), you're gonna be fighting the sidecut pushing the mount that far forward, it'll feel snakey and nervous when you're really ripping. Cutting the recommended mountpoint in half and exceeding that is where things usually start to get weird.

Echoing the post below, my DPS Koala 103 is -6 recommended so I went -3 and it's good for my needs. Slightly forward feeling but keeps everything balanced. My favorite mount point is -1 from center but I'd want a different ski for that. I even reached out to a DPS athlete about their mount and they said -1 feels weird, go at least -2.
