Fox Float Pressure?

Where are you setting your pressures? And why?

I'm 205 lb. and a semi-aggressive rider, soon to be more aggressive as the confidence level goes up.
 

55-65 depending on conditions and roughness of trails. At either pressure I have yet to bottom out the front. As for the back well... hopefully Hy-Gear will take care of that this year. At the lower pressures the ride height is dropped and this dramaticly helps ki lift. I did notice when I put my USI Tripple Threats on that I could run closer to the 65 all the time and ski lift was near eliminated. Almost any sled I think is best at around 60 +/- 5-10 lbs. If your up at 80-100 or even 150 (the max) I don't think it would be ridable. I looks cool because it sits way off the ground but try cornering, forget it. I would start at 60 psi and if you feel they are too soft go up from there. This goes for any sled.
 
I started out at 60 psi and thought that was good for me. But after having ski lift I listened to some of the guys on here and lowered it to 37.5 psi. What a difference for me. Even handled the bumps better.
 
I set mine at about 60-65psi because when you keep the psi higher I feel like it gives me more ski pressure and in turn the sled becomes more positive to turn. I am sure that inside ski lift is increased as opposed to setting the shocks around 50psi but I was happy with the ride I was getting at about 60-65 psi. I also sure that with how tall and skinny the phazer is compared to other sleds that, raising the air pressure 10 or 15 psi will make quite a bit of difference in handling.
