Steve used to be a good SX driver. I am going the other way I am going from SX to CC this year we will see how that goes!!! I still am running 3-5 SX though
I see…..so the circuit you race on…there are not many sweeping turns like you are doing in the last photos. They are mostly sharp turns – dive into the burm – then get it squared up to come out…is that right?
What interested me is how the handling went away from your first photo set to the last set. I do see where you locked on the brakes in one of the last photos making the suspension react.
If in fact the circuit is tight – then maybe heavy steering with a light rear end is best, like you changed to.
Riding with style is fun – winning is more fun.
Where do you usually finish in a race?
Are they all Phazers?
Keep the pictures coming – I don’t have a nice sled like yours ….the stressed pictures of the sled are not what we normally see.

You have to remember he's on lake ice, on a trail is more hard pack snow/ice so you will have more bite. The only way to get a good turn on ice is to lower it down, but i don't think he would like the ride over the big bumps. put it down this low and he will be fineRJH said:

Not necessarily. The key is to transfer the weight to the out side ski for most bite. Sorta – want the sled to flip over. Once you get that – you can start to bring it down.
Ideally ….you want an independent suspended sled as low as you can go – yet still have the bite. Watch the guys on the pro ovals that win…..– the inside ski is just feather the ground.
Your sled is getting around OK – in the avatar but you are doing it with the weight on the inside ski. In the photo - the sled looks like it has got the weight to the outside - but I can tell better if you have a shot of you going in.
I have some pictures to better explain if you are interested. You are leaning to make it steer – you need to get the weight to the outside ski so the lean ….is to stop it from flipping over.
His cross country sled looked to be handling well – as I mentioned after the first pictures. In the 2nd shots – it looked uncomfortable.
The further set of pictures show just how stiff his skid is – as it didn’t fully compress on that jump…well maybe the camera was too fast and it compressed after.
I’m not criticizing you guys…not trying to be a smart #*$&@…..I can't compete with you guys ....I like racing…you can listen or not.
