You are actually more likely to nosedive with your feet closer to the wheel I would suggest a wider stance you will have more control over how much pressure you are giving your board to accelerate. If you are having nosedives on a + you will have just as many on the XR. its 100% how you are riding

I personally have shredded the Jeff pro model float plates, the Stroh dank green and I am now repping the Raequel pros. Massive love for this product!
I started out by attempting to make my own plates and I thought they were ok... until these buttery float plates took it to the next level. The proof is in the pudding. Check it out.
