| Placing the bindings forward allows you to make a faster turn and allows you to put the weight on the front of the ski. Bumpers like it b/c of the faster turn initiation and weighting the front of the ski. I heard park & jibs do this so the weight of the ski is balance under their feet. The cons to this is that you can handle bar over.
Placing it center or the back allows you to control the whole ski for a medium to large radius turn. Being over center and back would prevent the tail from washing out thus a clean release or a clean entry into the transition of the turn.... making a clean carve is euphoric.
If your bindings can be adjusted, experiment with it. |
