I am only 145 lb and I can throw my m1000 around like a rag doll when I lower the pressure in the front shocks down to about 50 lbs. this reduces the ski pressure down the the point where it's more like riding a jet ski. then when I hit the trail home I pump them back up to 65. It is true though they suck for jumping, but they rock in the powder because their light and so easily adjustable.. pick your poison
