what do you prefer, core center or midsole? I have mine midsole and an wondering if its easier to do rails spins etc with the bindings mounted core center.
 
I dont think its really easier, its just better. You can put the same pressure on your noses as on your tails, which isnt necessarily easier. just possible. (with center mounted skis)
 
these people are not talking core center,

they are talking true center, which is the middle of the ski,

ski is 180 cm, u mount at 90
 
its dope sauce.

shorter tips = easier nose grabs

longer tails = easier tail grabs

longer tails = easier switch

longer tails = builds confidence on switch landings when skiing off trail

looks cooler than dead center to me
 
it will feel really weird at first if youve never skid center before, i got use to it in a couple runs and now i fuckin love center for everything.
 
only prob there is skis mounting plates dont go that far forward, so if your gonna do that, do it on some maple or hardwood skis, not K2s or salomons. youll rip the toes out instantly.
 
I heard the Jon Pros have a foward-plate, as well as the Dumonts. And K2s are wood core. Only salomon is the foam (except the Dumonts)
 
Dope Tanaka. I'm gonna have to try that someday, how much harder is it to ski just cruisers on forward mount?
 
it feels fine. It doesnt "RUIN" my skis or anything like that. It feels better than dead center on groomers. I even skiid in 2 feet of fresh on them once when I forgot my powder boards, and it wasn't bad at all. I just skied everything switch and it was dope. Talk about progressive!
 
total snowboard tech right there, i'd go with that too. but i dont get it, why would u mount ur skis forward from centre? im gonna mount mine about 1 fingre back from true centre.
 
yeah the mounting on the dumonts is RETARDED, i want it two or three fingers back so i can still ride pow, not one finger forward like simon.
 
if you wanna ski pow, why the fuck would you get a narrow waisted, 176, pipe ski? if you dont like the mount (i dont either), then dont buy it. its just a ski.
 
i want the dumonts, and i ride pow maybe two days a year. i just didnt think that it would ride too great since the swing weight might feel a little off.
 
yea i just got my bindings core center mounted and i LOVE EM. rails way easier. wayyy easier to spin. ive learned tons of new tricks ull love em. shorter turn radius too for quik turns. ull love em
