not sure about ur 1260 arguments, no true centermount is ever a good ski, ur boots flex therefor placing all ur weight over ur knees which are over ur toe binding, which therefor should be in the middle of the ski, not the middle of the boot. skiing backwards or forwards the center oif gravity is the same(0ver the toe binding)...well for me it is, at least skiing the pipe u gotta be pumping the trannys the same as forwards, centermount just makes ur tips too small to get the power for pop  for flex and loading up the ski for the adequate pop from the flex needed, im glad line has stoped with the centermounting
line sucks b/c they used to be centermounted, which we all know true center is terrible for skiing, if they dont want to ski then use snowblades, and they go out and make the prophet huge fat ski, then they only make 200 of um and not even realease to public, its just gay,
i will never forgive mike nick for saying that skiers wanted to copy his style (refering to his skiboarding tricks) in the 2000 x-games
