Help! +k

[Morginsfreeski]

Hi guys, i have bought a pair of ar7s and need to get them set, i am unsure what would be the best option so i need some help. I am new to park skiing and as i ski in Europe a majority of my time is spent cruising round the mountain. This year i hope to improve my park skiing, probably focussing on jumps and rails 50/50, i guess approximately 25% of my time will be spent in the park. Should i just get them centre mounted? Thanks in advance.

If you are spending that little time in park I would go -1 or -2 maby even more the best thing to do right now would be to go to a shop and talk to the guy there

i would go atleast 3.5cm back from ski center, but not more than 5cm back

If I'd be in your situatuon I'd choose the rear mountingpoint on the ski, it's about 2-3 cm from the centre I think...

-2.5.

-3 cm is about where you want to be. the closer you are to center, the more the performance is decreased. center is great for switchups or more technical spins, but the ski feels like it hooks in turns which is not ideal

armada recommends -2.5 so i'd go with that

I agree with all these guys. Having it mounted back will just optimize your skiing experience.
