    New Big Daddy - where to mount?

    You know, the 145-125-129 ones. I search around a bit and just found a few mentions of -1 and -2 mounts.

    Where do you guys have them / how do you like it? I see lots of camber in these puppies.

    Gracias!

    No love for the Bigger Daddys? Someones got to have some feedback. Pretty please!!

    Lot's of talk about mounting @ -1 or -2 but no on snow feedback that I clould find.

    Some details if it'll help: 6' 170 - narrow stance (old schoolish) slasher/tip driver so I normally like a more rearward mount - medium fast but I push it every run. Had my old BDs @ -1 and liked it though I could have gone on the line and maybe been better off (just hypotheticalizing based on how they felt @ -1), I like my 186 LPs best at -1.5 (780mm from tail, I think). Long tails normally seem to grab me and lock me into turns and give me hooky problems...but the new BD shape just might make that a non-issue.

    -1??

    Mine are mounted -3 or -3.5, can't remember which right now. It ended up lining up with the mark on my 190 pow +. I would go atleast -2, depending on how you will ski them. Mine are my powder touring rig with dynafits so I don't really care about a versatile location. I think they are perfect for pow. I have skied them on groomers when I first got them and would move forward a cm or so if they were resort boards.

    You love Big Daddys. You should let me run your LPs this week.

    I actually have demo binders on my LPs...so yeah, you can "run" them. You should try my axioms too...better than the LP in every way.
