Center mount vs. regular mount

[gperry1]

I was just wondering if I should get regular mount or center mount. This is my second year skiing in the park so I'll be riding like 90% park and I can hit most rails and hit lots of jumps. I'm going to try to hit some urban sometime during the season with some of my friends as well. I'm riding the Atomic Infamous with Full Tilt Booters. The bindings I got were the Marker Squire if that's important. k+ for tips. Thanks!

If you're riding 90% park then center mount for sure. Maybe go -1 but I don't think center mount is any more difficult to ski all mountain.

Center mount gives you the illusion of a smaller turn radius and makes it easier to turn and control.

infamous is a symmetric twin so true center is the way to go!

I ride true center but I've heard from others that -1 is good as well. I would definitely center mount those if you have a strong focus on park

Yeah

They're made for truecenter, so mount them that way

I have found center -2.5 works pretty good if you are gonna ski around the mountain some.

This. I skied center mounted chronics at big sky/moonlight and did perfectly fine. It was a little bit more effort but it was still fun.

This. Always 100% this. This debate is way easier than people make it out: if your ski is fully symmetric in shape, sidecut, and flex then mounting it at any position other than center is honestly retarded. Simply mounting a fully symmetric ski back 1cm doesn't change how the ski was made. If you don't want a center mounted ski, then don't buy one in the first place. You will be better off buying a different ski.
