Sure, no problem. The pole ends up way down in the channel through the hood, so it makes it uncomfortable for hood tricks, but it works fine. You'll find a lot of Xmetal fans here, and I'm one of them.

I just bought a lowered Blowsion mount too. I'm rethinking it now though. I'd rather the clean look of the hood. Anyone interested in the mount? Trade for a full height one?

Anyone got any pics to help make the decision?

If you're spending money on lowered brackets for cosmetic reasons, then you're wasting your money. The purpose of a lowered bracket is to make a huge improvement in rideability, improving your ability to complete many freestyle moves, most particularly the barrel roll. If you're going down that road, there's also a freestyle hood in your future (as well as a new pole) so don't worry about the temporary ugly look.

I just stuck on a -1 AC pole. I bought the bracket for two reasons, strength and lowered pivot point. I decided to put the pole on today without the bracket. I'll hold off on the bracket until winter or a lowered hood falls into my lap.

Cool, but I wouldn't wait for the hood to put the bracket on. You won't believe how much difference the lowered bracket will make to your ski.

It will work fine. The only one I can think of that will be a slight problem is the Chris Maros 24-7 bracket. This bracket is -1" lower and -1" forward. With the factory nose piece it will hit when the pole is fully extended. This can be remedied with a pole limiting strap.

wouldnt -1 forward actually be 1 inch back(i.e towards the tray)? dont you know it takes a double negative to be positive?
