can a 162 jump?

of course it "can" jump. but back when i went from 153 to 162, the first thing i noticed was that i lost the ability to hit little jumps- side hits on the trail, little windlips, etc. it either just wheelies over the top of a hit, or plows right through a transition.

i'm already convinced that i want to go back to 153 (actually a 154x3" alpha :face-icon-small-hap ) but my budget isn't going to allow that till next season.

so i'm wondering if i can split the difference between 154 and 162 with suspension setup for this season.
i assume that softening up the rear float would help handle my plowing though the transitions problem.
would stiffening up the center float get me airborne a little sooner? (rather than catwalking over a lip)

now how about the trade off? skis are gonna be up in the air during a climb... anything else?


anyone have any suggestions on float pressure settings? or what psi increments i should use when testing? 2,5,10psi at a time?

2012 sno pro, running a 2.5" camo extreme, full cupped lugs.

you figure that just stiffening up the front track spring will do it alone, or soften up the back at the same time? i feel like i should try that.

i have to check the ski pressures too. after doing some reading, i feel like i may need to soften them up a bit. can't remember where i'm at though.

i'll visit the rail brace thing if i can actually start getting this thing off the ground more often. thanks!
