Full tilt flex question

[Timotheezy.]

alright so i am purchasing some fulltilt booters (blue and yellow ones from a year or two ago) from a friend of mine. They come with a flex 2 tongue, which is pretty damn soft. i was wondering if im used to a medium-stiff boot would i be okay to ski with the flex 2 tongues for preseason? I just dont know how much a difference it will make or if i will risk an injury or something. basically just until christmass when i can get some stiffer tongues.

If i'm not mistaken the 2 flex is really a 4 flex. Full tilt had a mix up on their tongues and they printed 2 instead of 4. I very well may be wrong.

 

[Timotheezy.]

can't argue with that logic. good plan

they will prob feel less responsive for general skiing but amazing in the park for butters and tweaking the shit out of grabs lol....i agree just ski them!! Just avoid real big heavy landings as you will have less support

Wouldn't a stiffer flex be better for butters and such?

 

[onenerdykid]

generally yes

And if you're buying them off of your friend just ski them for two days and then decide?

Worst case scenario, you pay an extra $40 for new tongues. Just ski and decide.

i went from rampages that flex more like an 8 to doggers with 6 flex tongues and i will be purchasing some 8 flex tongues for next season

Max hill has full tilts with a flex of 4.

he also has skis that have the flex of wet noodles?

Preseason they're going to feel softer because with the warmer temperatures the boot will soften up. I don't think you'll really be taking on any risk of injury though. This spring my 6 flex tongues felt really soft but I also ride really stiff skis which might be part of that. A lot of people like them, but if you don't I'm sure they will last you until christmas.

Yes, his boots may come stock with a flex 4 tongue, but he may swap it out for a 10, you never know.

personally, I'd say try them for a little bit. If you really love them, then keep them, but I'd also reccommend getting another set of tongues that are a bit stiffer, say, an 8. They'll be a lot more responsive and high performance. I have hot doggers, and I really like the stiffer tongues I put in them.
