Ok here goes, my sxr lnited went bbbrraAAAAPPP!!! very instant power arm pulling fun medium topend but no bottum end like a yami sj, this kawidoo revs more than 10 000rpm my sxr did like about7-8000 rpm BUT THIS KAWIDOO GOES bbbbbrrrrrraaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!! the topend is realy impressive for a standup but my pump is not magnum so it sucks on bottum so a delayed hookup the power is insane but it is way toooo late for freeride or freestyle you give throttle the power takes about 2 seconds to really kick in full force so a runup for a wave yes short power just before a wave no. and this thing is soooo dam heavy its an undderstatement....FREERIDE MACHINE HELL NO. RACE MONSTER YES!

You need a low-end pipe built for it.
Have you checked the PV's are not opening too early?
What impeller are you running?
Weight will always be the problem
Will have my X2 up and running soon, doing some work this weekend on it.

Hey Carbnx2, whats ur name? im Hendrik LLoyd(gautenger) the reason im asking is im building my own freeride ski custom hull etc to compete with on the world freeride tour 2010 and im going to be at the coast(durbs,east london,cape town etc) 2 weeks a month to full out ride and get my skills up to scratch again, the last thing i backflipped was a wb1 in 2002. my point i wanto recreate a rsa freeride tour with prize money etc that allows us to do the world tour and rsa freeride tour so it doesnt clash with unbiased judging! i learned how to bf alone and usually ride alone aswell im used to it since nobody rides during the week lol
