Still confused on dumont stance and mounting

[Tclif]

i have no problem mounting these skis to  a 100% park specific mount, just wondering where exactly is the dumont stance, some claim its in front of true center, others claim its behind true center, if its in front of true center ill just mount at the simon stance, if its behind true center i would rather mount center, just wondering if anyone can clarify where really the simon stance is.

why does it matter? its what your comfortable with is what matters

 

[invaderskier36]

measure it out for ur self. measure where true center is and then look at the dumont stance. Only wy to know for sure

 

[miroz]

apparantly the dumont stance isn't marked or really known...thats why he can't find it

 

[emopoppins]

from what i understand it is 2cm ahead of running length center.

 

[invaderskier36]

if it isnt marked then hows the shop know where to mount?

 

[uni-corn]

good point

 

[Calb3rt]

im fairly certain that the "dumont stance" is 1.5/2cm(ish) forward of dead center, then there is a center mount line too.

 

[Tclif]

FOR FUTURE THREAD REFERENCE, I JUST GOT MY DUMONTS BACK, MOUNTED THEM AT THE DUMONT STANCE MARK ON THE SKI AND THEY PRETTY MUCH JUST BARELY FORWARD OF CENTER MOUNT. 

In conclusion Simon Stance is 1 cm forward of center. JEA.

mines dumont stance but y does the tail look less than the nose? it confuses me

 

[jahmin44]

its either an illusion, or they mounted ur bindings back wards thinking that there is no way a ski wuld be mounted forward, and that the mounring point is 1cm back from center not forward of center........that would be funny

 

[jahmin44]

mounting*

 

[brenker]

its probably much more conveinient to mount them center rather than forward, but good luck with that

 

[Calb3rt]

im sure the same amount of work goes into mounting bindings, whether they are being mounted at behind, at, or in front of center. so it would be just as convenient whatever way he wants to mount them.

 

[brenker]

nah i was referring to the way the ski would handle

 

[Calb3rt]

well a forward mounted park ski for someone who would like to grab nose/tail easier or does alot of switch riding sounds pretty convenient to me...

 

[brenker]

hey thats cool

i guess

 

[Tclif]

^yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

 

[KRAMPUSNTROLLZ]

your not simon Dumont but idk mount it wherever you want

 

[paulbunyan]

could it be because the back part of the binding(idk what its call the heal part) is longer and bigger than the toe?

 

[t_rob]

yes my man. the heel piece is longer than the toe piece.

 

[paulbunyan]

but is that y it looks shorter in the back

 

[alpineplease]

mount your dumonts dead center with fks bindings. you willl be happy.

 

[jahmin44]

oh yeah. thats makes a lot of sense

 

[paulbunyan]

sarcastic?
