07/08 Foil mounting

[Smuffy]

Sorry if this is a repost... but anyway, the 07/08 Salomon Foil has two mounting options. One says classic stance and the other says progressive stance. Im assuming that "progressive stance" means center-mounted, but I thought I'd check first. Thanks.

i think progressive is 1cm forward cause pro means forward but not sure. id ask your shop theyll know whats up.

no. idk where progressive is and i'm not gonna guess, but with most skis progressive still isn't true center. just measure them and find the true center. but i doubt its true center, and its definitely not forward of it.

what? sorry, that confused me.

the progressive is a couple cm's higher than the classic.

oh, in my post i thought the guy above me was saying progressive was a few CMs forward of true center. but yeah, progressive is a few cms ahead of classic.

DO NOT TRUE CENTER MOUNT OR CENTER MOUNT YOUR FOILS....I center mounted mine and they were dead skis. Skiing on them was a bitch and it felt like I was constantly fighting the real sidecut of the ski. I would stay within the range of what salomon suggests just to maximize the ski. I'm pretty sure that Salomons Progressive mark in those skis is +2 of a traditional stance.

Maybe pipe or slope....but even then you're really killing the ski.
