Should I center mount the bindings? These Gotamas are the first twin tips I've had, and I'm not quite sure what the advantages are besides riding switch.

i have mine mounted just behind center. the middle of the boot sits midway between the "true center" and "boot center" graphics on the deck. this makes the ski more versatile than center mounting, but is still better for riding switch than regular mounting. for me, ive found this a good answer to the tradeoff, and i recommend it. i recently demoed some line anthems that were truly center mounted, and i found that it took a little getting used to. if you're trying to push this ski to its potential all over the mountain, i wouldnt recommend center mounting. hope that helps!
