@McSkateness It depends on the ski. For the most part, yes it will still be good for park. However, if you have a fully symmetrical ski like the skis he is working on(Volkl Walls), the ski will actually ski BETTER at true center. Honestly I didn't even feel the difference when I mounted my bindings at true center for the first time. It makes the skis more playful and opens up a whole other side of skiing! (skiing backwards. haha)
@MrMrdarkside In theory, you can unless they have rail mounts. I'd only recommend center mounting park specific skis though. All mtn twins are the best at core center in my opinion.
@Gyrkin59 once you get the right drill bits, borrow the right jig or get confidant enough to do it free hand ( CAN be done, but not reccomended ), it's just better to pay $75 to have them mounted..Ski bindings need tested for release pressure before there put in use, and that does not mean skied on, in use refers to the bindings testing the correct release pressure, or within the " in use " range with a correction value, shops wont test bindings that are out of wack,
@mattdudley13 If you say so. I got mine done the day I wrote you, 2 months ago. I did it at home, and it took only screw drivers to reposition the mount to allow for longer boots.
@Gyrkin59 good for you. like I said, it can be done. The 3.6mm drill bits themselves are not that costly, but it could be done with a standard bit that is close and still be good enough. I'v seen a few holes on the wrong side of skis tho... As far as boot adjustment, make sure you check the forward pressure, and I would highly reccomend having them tested, so that there indemnefied/ warrantied. That is actually where shops get the cost as it's a liability
@mattdudley13 On used skis? Hardly going to be any warranty or indemnification here in the States.
Less than 100 years ago, we strapped boards to our boots and just went. It really doesn't need to be all THAT complicated. I'll trust the binding manufacturer to make a decent product, set the bindings to my level of ability, confirm that they do release, and leave it at that.
Meanwhile, your video still doesn't actually show anyone how to do anything. Goodbye.
@Gyrkin59 This is not my video, tho I am certified by all major binding manufactures. your right it's not very complicated... As long as the bindings remain on the indemnified list supplied by the manufacture, they will indemnify the binding, regardless of the ski, as long as it was installed and tested correctly. If the ski fails, it's likely a warranty on the ski itself. as per testing, if the skis require a correction value, the dins will be too low or too high for your skier code
@Gyrkin59 I also have an ancient set of K2's sitting in the corner of my shed, and remounted a my Fathers Rossignol Quantum 2 205cm straight skis, with Salomon C509 Rental bindings 2 years ago. Used skis ( he bought new but 1st remount ) and used rental bindings I got cheap, but being indemnefied, Salomon still certifies them safe if they fall within the inuse range upon testing...
If you know what your doing, there is no reason you cant do it, and I'm not questioning your abilities.
@paulkayaknenninger A really, really long time ago Marker would boast how they have never had any cases of pre-release with their bindings. My friend's dad had a buddy on his race team who was skiing moguls, had his Marker bindings pre-release, fell head first and broke his neck. Of course he blamed his paralysis on Marker and they were quick to deny any responsibility. But then they found out that there had been several more cases about Marker pre-release in the past. Sketchy company
This video is waste off time .

Some ungrateful people here.
They don't seem to appreciate the simple facts.
If you don't understand this, go right ahead and wreck your own skis :P
Thanks for the advice!

Thanks so much for NOT telling us how to do it. I didn't need you to tell me to go to a professional.

I dislike Marker's Mounting Lingo, The furthest back point is TRADITIONAL, Not Free-Ride, Also I would not ski Marker bindings they are Shit.
