Whats the advantage to moving your motor back, and how labor intensive/costly is this procedure?

makes backies easier. Pushes the weight of the engine closer to the point of rotation.

i had my motor set back and it was sweet, i shortened my ski 3 1/2" and i like that even more...you can still carve it but it makes it so much more freestyle oriented
