Haha, I'm an ex- racer, stopped last year so i know exactly what you're talking about. I always raced on Dynastars and i bought a pair of Line 1260's for the same purpose you're lookin at right now. Needless to say, i no longer race (maybe 'cause i spend too much time in the park). What you should really do is buy some new boots (non-race fit). You'd be surprised... they actually make boots that dont feel like a chinese foot binder. Anyways, good luck with your freeskiing adventures.
