Ski Influencer drama / my video take on it.

[weastcoat]

I'm working on my edit chill

Fuck yes

 

[Jems]

I AINT DROPPING MY CLIPS BRO hahaha

Honestly I care a lot more about my skis working well than looking good, those on3ps have a rec mounting point of -7cm so center mounting them would make them ski like shit. But if that's the type of stuff you do to look cool I admire your dedication!

yeah i mounted my jeffreys (for the powder) center to look cool and it didn’t work out too well. But who the fuck willingly mounts some on3p magnuses -2 cm??? Park skis look so damn lame if they’re any more than like a cm.

 

[hi_vis360]

Fuck yes

don't get your hopes up it's going to be horrendous in every way

lmao ok I think we're mostly on the same page then

 

[vibe.crudo]

Wait hold up, y'all mount your skis????

 

[MoneyMakerMike]

you guys care way too fucking much about what you look like

Clearly you don’t

you must have weak knees if you think that hurts ha

My knees are shredded so yes. Have any cartilage you can spare?

only lost a little in one years ago, but i haven't gotten my knees checked in awhile but I assume i got some extra for ya

 

[DesertStix]

Thanks I’ll drop a pin in DM’s. Knee on knee clipping in hockey should be a crime punishable by jail time cause now I can’t move my knee joints

Haha ya you look really submissive and breedable

 

[KCoCM]

wait im confused why would you mount true center if the contact points in tip and tail are different

edit: not talking about the bog o tricks video, talking about other comments in this thread

[gravel]

show me a video instead, all i’m sayin is if you want to look good you DONT mount anywhere but center.

this is stupid as shit

As Andy Parry once said, Yoke is dope.

actually though eheath’s kit is objectively not bad in that photo

 

[Casey]

It just depends so much on the individual ski and the preferences and intended uses of the skier. I’ve mounted more directional skis at true center and guess what? They skied switch like a fucking dream. Were they kind of squirrelly on flat bases and carved like shit? Absolutely yes. Did they tip dive in POW to an obnoxious level? Yes. Did I buy park skis because I wanted to set PRs on the GS course or blast waist deep BC faces? No.

The point is, everything you do to help one aspect of performance is going to necessarily hurt another. It takes all kinds to make the world go around just chill out.

Ya kit is good but he’s fat

 

[SupremeChairlift]

Yeah, I always mount true center to make it easier to switch pizza between hits in the park

 

[hi_vis360]

false, eheath only weighs 130 lbs he just knows how to LAYER

 

[Skiblade420]

Chaos. I can almost taste it

 

[The_Dude_]

EHeath looks like the kind of guy who revs his engine when he drives by a high school

Ah of course it was another eheath fat joke…

I do! -2 is rec for m102s and they ski great both in the park and everywhere else

 

[Jems]

this is totally not stupid as shit

thanks bro

 

[WoFlowz]

-1 is where it’s at

The best place to mount any skis is so the boot is centered over the narrowest part of the ski.

Whatever that is, that's the best place.

Then if you have a fancy race binding, or a quality demo type, you can adjust a bit either way for the conditions.

to be fair, Vishnu's come with a piece of paper that says "remind your local shop to measure for true center when mounting"

Ski shops be like "dont worry at all, we have it written down here for true center"

 

[sensorialquartet]

Where should I mount my Mango 100s ;^)?

we mounted ours 0.5 cm back from dead center to help with the effective edge. Perfect for carving, centered enough for park skiing.

5mm is pretty small. Only Mango could tell any difference. ;-)

While they do recommend true center, that just means to know where true center is for an accurate mount. The center line on topsheets is often inaccurate.

Symetrical -1

non -1.5

Did you mount your wides -1?

 

[casual]

Mounting a ski -1-2cms from true isn’t going to produce a noticeable change in swing weight.

yeah sure if that's what you like, for me the main appeal of a getting a sym ski is the swing weight so I'm still going true center. Also don't just mount any non sym ski at 1.5 some skis are more directional than others

 

[hi_vis360]

Mounting a ski -1-2cms from true isn’t going to produce a noticeable change in swing weight.

I don't think it will produce a noticeable change in carving ability either, it's only 1 cm, and telling the shop dead center is easy

This guy is the real final boss.

 

[Skiblade420]

Did you mount your wides -1?

I’m going to tonight, I don’t like skiing upright, so I think I’ll be able to drive the just a touch harder / slightest bit better in pow. ( since I don’t have a pow ski )

The Mags are marketed as a park ski and -2 is the recommended. I believe there was a podcast with on3p guy recommending there for even park. I bet since magnus rides them there since it’s his signature ski

 

[DesertStix]

Depending on geometry and side cut of the ski, the effect on edge contact, turn initiation, etc. will be affected a lot more than swing weight. It’s not a 1 to 1 impact.

The weight distribution in front and behind the boot sole center will change by like 0.5%, something like milligrams or whatever. The effect on ski performance will be much greater given each cm you move it. Think about it, you could move the mount 10cm and the weight behind the binding vs in front with be like a 5-7% difference and we are talking grams here. The same 10cm change would make the ski operate totally different.

I get liking to ride true center, I’ve mounted every symmetrical ski I’ve owned there, so I’m not hating. Just making the point that the shift in swing weight will not compare to the change in ski feel.

 

[DesertStix]

I doubt you’ll even be able to tell the difference honestly

Damn I’m kinda thinking about it too but low key feel like it’s sacrilege

 

[DesertStix]

I swap skis with my friends who have wets true center and they don’t even know it’s -1 back and haven’t said anything. You seriously can’t tell the difference…

I add +10mm and she said she could not feel any difference at all. ;-)

still doesn't change the fact that if I'm buying a symmetrical ski, I'm buying it for the swing weight. To me that's the the main purpose and appeal of sym skis - to have the lowest swing weight possible. So I'm going to try to optimize that as much as I can.
