you and your skills make it jump high, timing and stance. trim is good for backies, racing.

Cut your rideplate off flush and get more brap (a pipe, higher compression and a lightened flywheel). You don't need trim.
Footholds will help you jump wayyyyy higher than trim.
(I think I need some trim...lol)

I need some good trim to too DJ! Know where to find some good one(s)
:bananapowerslide:
BTW, trim is unnecessary, trust me I have it and wouldn't do it again. It is something to play with though. X2 trim conversions can be done very inexpensively though.

I agree, I shortened my hull and stock ride plate by 4" and pole by 1.5" and it jmps way better. need to go shorter on the pole though, and I should hopefully be putting in some footholds soon. I've got the blowsion mat kit with side lifters, those help a little, but they dont hold like footholds do. I also added a wamiltons stubby pump cone, seemed to help with the hit off the bottom as well

Look on Ebay or check Watcon, look for a pump wedge, this will angle the reduction nozzle upwards allowing you to have more lift on the nose.

You can even find a zxi 750 pump on e-bay and take out the stock pump wedge that is in they it fits the sxr800 pump to . install it up side down to bring the nozzle 4degrees up. this will make the nose of the ski mad lighter. flush ride plate works too but be sure this is what you want you will lose some nice sxr tracking caricteristics aka holdding a corner.
