Who jumps their XP's?

[Seeyacop]

Just wondering how the XP does jumping as compared to a Rev or perhaps an M series? I am contemplating going to a 146 X XP this year because I want to air it out more. I have heard the Rev was a more comfortable machine to jump than the XP, not sure why I was told this though. Any input on this?

Just grab the new Slednecks and watch Geoff Kyle and Brett Turcott and you'll have no worries about airing out an XP. My buddy rides a 154 and lives to drop cornices, he has had no problems that I'm aware of.

Lighter weight= bigger air! It's a fun sled to jump!

I had the 07 rev, did lots of jumpin on it, i even had specialize stiffeners on it but when i traded it in this year my rails matched the looks of a banana, did anyone "banana" thier 08s, i'm wondering about stiffeners, yes <> no

Not mine, but my riding buddy aired his out plenty last season, only problem was broken clutch side cover panel from a whip gone bad. Only pic I can find quickly:

I ordered a 146 x for the same thing. I know it won't be as flickable as my short track 800 xrs but at least I'll get around out west. I was so bummed last year when we went to B.C and I couldn't get anywhere with my short track. These guys were dropping this huge cornice with their 144's and I couldn't even get halfway up the hill with my short track. AAAHHHH!!! I get mad about it at least once a week ever since. I should have no problems getting anywhere with my 146 except up some crazy shoot that needs 300 hp. Hope this helps. Cheers. Still think about renegades every once and a while.

That's what I'm buying next 146" XP! They fly better, climb better and feel better.

I rode with Geoff Kyle a couple seasons ago in Whistler when he was on a REV and I was amazed at how well he did on that short REV in the deep. I am really leaning towards the 146 and I am hoping it will be close to my 153 m series when it comes to getting around in the deeper snow due to the 16" wide vs. the 15" wide.

As far as jumping goes I want something nimble but can still get around on deep days in the backcountry. Seems like the 146 might do the trick. Thanks for the posts, keep em coming.
