And another thing -if you find the crosswind to be outside the capability of the rudder to hold the aeroplane straight whilst you're holding the nosewheel off, then put the nosewheel on the ground. In a Jab its directly connected to the pedals rather than castoring so you can use it to stop yourself from being blown off the runway.
This should only be done on smooth runways though, the nose leg is very snapoffable.
Also, as G says, do what you're comfortable with. If you've run out of rudder to kick it straight then you've probably bitten off more than you can chew crosswind-wise at your relatively early stage of the game.
However, if you get good at a Jabiru it will make you a good pilot, they're slippery, trickier than average to land, but not difficult. Also, 90% of everything said on forums about their engines is bolleux, they're perfectly reliable, and if you can't make an engine failure over land survivable in something that will fly as slowly as 40 knots then you probably shouldn't be flying at all.
Have a look at this, filmed in Genghis's back yard.

Reason: adding caveats
