I had a 92 sxi and thought it was a nice ski. It was compared to our old 650 sx. Then one wonderful day I was on another site asking questions about freestyle and someone replied back, saying I should check out x-h2o. I researched and picked up a rn sj from a member. First time I rode it, it was amazing. After a couple years riding it, I still love it (although it's cut up a bit) way more than my heavy old 750. Since then I have ridden a few SXR's and don't like them at all. It's just my personal preference though. They seem to nose in when turning tight. They feel stable, but have a heavy dampened sluggish feel compared to a sj. I like how light, quick and flickable a sj feels compared to a SXR. But I like messing around and jumping etc... Not racing. I just like the way the rn rides for freeriding.

I would love to get you on my Trinity, Matt. Lighter than a RN with an SXR feel. Very flickable when needed, yet stable. I LOVE this ski, but if it was stolen, I wouldn't pay for another, I'd just get a round nose for half the price, unless I found a Trinity used.
