    Bought the ANTs!!!

    I finally found a decent price on a pair of Armada ANTs and I'm so efffing siked. I can't wait to get on these!! Unfortunately, having them sitting in my corner, stairing me down, is going to make summer go by sooo much slower.

    Now it's time to decide on some binders. NX21's?? I'm going to have to work all summer to have any money after this set is complete. Whatever, I'm rediculously stoked.

    My quiver is now these and my 05/06 karmas, I think that's a pretty decent duo.

    Do a search on where to mount them....At first I thought I liked them on the line, not so much any more.

    Fuck the line. They felt good on 3-4 inches of firmish fresh, BUT in deep you get crazy tip dive. 2 cm BEHIND the line is the spot. I believe thats -9cm from core center.

    Never had them mounted at the line. Just looking at that mount job I got scared and went with -2 cm from the line. Have the shop tech measure equal lengths from the tail, because my lines were almost a full cm off. My mount works great in all conditions, even switch. I would consider being back an extra 2 cm from my current spot, but I rarely see tip dive as it is, so I am not sure.

    Get workin on the leg press!

    at 215 lbs, I started at -2.5 cm from line, went back to -4.5 cm from the line. I love them there.
    No, the real point is, I don't give a damn

    I'd go four cms back from the line, making sure to measure from the tails.

    -9 from true center is $$$
    I've got more suits than Liberace, but less than Eastvailhucker.

    because the "line" marked on those skis had a tendancy to not be consistent with one another.
