    Mounting Big Trouble

    I have checked through the forums and have found a lot of info on the 186 big troubles but i bought a pair of 176 and im having a lot of trouble deciding where to mount them. I will be skiing a lot of powder, bumps, trees and cliffs... also maybe a little park and that. Pretty much there my all around ski for everything. So where do you feel would be the best place to mount them.

    For park riding I find mounting the bindings on the bases works the best, as this helps protect the edges/base from the rails, etc.

    Mount them 26cm forward of the recommended line. Everybody's doing it.

    why is everyone such an asshole when it comes to asking (ski related) questions in the ski forum during august???

    Than why are threads about auto mechanics, airport resturaunts, tape wallets, and jon benet (these are just the top of the first page) okay? Shouldn't all of these be in "The Padded Room" or something?

    No one reads Tech Talk, and homeboy was asking some ski related advice.

    I think people who scream:
    "Tech Talk, JONG" are overweight, pasty, desk jockies that get made fun of in real life. The TGR forums are the only place they can feel tough.

    I think we should use a new term:
    JOIF
    Jerk Off Interweb Fag

    You were super-rad as terminator, but totally suck as a Gov.

    I bleed, but I bleed THC-infused coffee, mixed with bacon fat and Wild Turkey. Can you still kill me?
