Its nice to find small hills that you can just rip up on your side and not be scared of rollin down the hill. Plus ditches are good too, make sure there is alot of snow in them and just stand on one side and pin it , sometimes i gotta stretch my one leg way out to get the sled tiped on the side then you can drag your leg in the snow to keep you balance and turn your skis slightly uphill. ROCK ON, hope you get'er figured

This site is great for all the advice and the humor, thanks all for the help, the flat land side hilling I can do but when my mind thinks of what could go wrong on the side of a mountian my mind craps its pants and I dont exicute what to do

as soon as your on a hill standing straight up and your shoulder digs into the snow the leaning curve severely increses, this was how a learned, find a tall steep ditch and grab a handfull of throttle, make sure you have some nice fluff incase things do take a turn for the worse, ya just cant be afraid of wreckin:d

Practice helps, one of the guys I ride with was new to the mountains a buncha years ago, he would sit at the bottom for awhile watching everybody sidehill, then when he felt like it away he would go. I always laughed cause he would come down after a roll or tree or being flung off, first thing he would say "I know, I know when in doubt pin it!" Now he can sidehill with the best of them.

2010 Rev XP Summits have improved weight transfer by lengthening the from Arm in the rear skid and a longer shock as well. This is quite an improvement over the 08 & 09 for the lighter and shorter rider. A fair-priced kit is availalble to upgrade.
also
Besides some of the adjustment recommendations above, all Rev XP's have great running boards, allowing for 2 feet on one board. When sidehilling this way, making sure you "lock" your back knee: ensures maximum weight is transferred to the uphill side.
Go out and practise on small to moderate hills.
You've got a great sled; enjoy your ride, and never let your avy guard down.

Is that rear upgrade worth the money whats the cost?
