Mounting arv's?

[1-pippin]

i just got 175 arv's and im gonna use them for like 90% park, and 10% for like bc jumps and stuff, i think im gonna mount them at true center, but is there any reason i shouldnt?

 

[=nick=]

yeah someone who knows wat theyre talking about answer this, im wondering the same thing

 

[timofysmif]

why didnt you get the ar5's for riding 90% park

 

[JockinJLoads]

id go like 2 back from true if i was you

 

[1-pippin]

cause wide is better

 

[skogenjake]

and heavier...

id say center is great, but like 1 or 2 back wouldnt make that much of a difference.

 

[lastxlight]

2cm back, or 3 center mounting is not too fun on pow

 

[Triple_Strum]

I mounted mine like +5 from the suggested. not quite center

 

[skogenjake]

they are softer, but they are heavier than the ar5's. at least the ar5s and arv's ive tried

 

[Emperoryder]

Haven't mounted mine yet but thinking of mounting them prob around -2 from dead center.

yer im just about to buy my 04/05 arv's but not sure were to mount them i think ill go true center, should i? [sorry about the thread hijack]

 

[Triple_Strum]

no, you shouldn't. They are horrible turning with center mounted. Mount them a couple back of center and you will be much happier. They are still fine switch

 

[Huckasorass]

I mounted mine at 52% and they're fine for park and most else

-2 to -3cm from center. the sidecut of the arv doesn't favor a true center mount.

 

[spere]

don't go true center, the sidecut isn't designed for it. go 2 or 3cm back from center

 

[Tha_Grouch]

^ha. wouldn't have 'ditto' been easier to type?

 

[1-pippin]

how about just 1 back from true?

 

[1-pippin]

what is it like at true? is it just like any other ski or does it actually mess up the sidecut alot more than other skis?

 

[poofartpee]

if ur 90% park for sure go center but its hard on the clfs when skiing pow cause u gots to manual

 

[1-pippin]

yeah ive got maidens for powder. so i dont really care, but ill be using them on bc jumps so yeah.

 

[Tha_Grouch]

^ dude... trust me... look at the shape of the ski... don't go that close to center. 3 back is primo.

 

[1-pippin]

so would it really fuck it up or not? cause i really dont care at all about carving good on groomers or not, as long as it will do well in the park.

 

[squibble]

this is just like the fujis, your not supposed to mount them center, its wierd

does -2 really make any difference when your skiing switch

 

[Tha_Grouch]

yeah dude... -2 to -3 won't affect this skis park-ablity. Mine are further back than that and are soooo stable switch. I can rock 'em at full speed, they still are amazing in pow, and carve very well.

mine are +2.5 from recommended... anyone know how far that is back from center? I think center may be about +6.

 

[Emperoryder]

Yea, will really like to know how far tru center is from the recommended point and need to know asap since I need to mount them soon.

 

[J.D.]

Mount them +1. If you don't take my advice, you will have something to regret, whether you know it or not.

 

[Emperoryder]

I have JP's for pow and etc, Imma use the arv's for all mountain and park mainly. I think imma mount it -2 or -3 from dead center.

 

[1-pippin]

ha i mounted them true center, and yeah it is a little wierd skiing them at first, but i got used to if after awhile and they are sooo fun.

 

[Emperoryder]

Well imma do mine -2 from true center.
