On fujatives the line labeled "core center" isnt the center of balance or the center legnthwise, so what is it based on? Core center is at about +7.5, and the real center of the ski is more like +11.

Core center is back from "true center", I think that's around +12/

i think the core center is at the waist of the skis

the tail is a few cm shorter than the tip, like from where it starts curving up. it's just naturally a little shorter. so the "core center" is the center spot of the wood core, minus the tip and tail. i think

on all K2's core center is +7.5 and true center is +12

+12 is the exact middle, but +7.5 is where the binding mat is the thickest and the skis are meant to be mounted at for park skiing. +7.5 is where all of the K2 factory team skis at.

 
anybody have any experience with mounting em at true center? How do they ride, etc.

i have 04/05 pe's mounted at true center and they rip everywhere. i love them. i live in mn and ski mostly park, but i brought these out to jackson and skied some killer pow with them in march. they're a little tough in deep stuff but not too bad. and to the kid that said they ski like shit at true center, have you ever skied them? just askin, cause i love them at true center. although i'm talking about pes, not fujis

by my calculations its at +78, meaning core center is when you mount your minding right ontop of your front tip. Terrible all mountain, great for dropping outof heaven and landing switch in pow.
