yo i peeped all the threads and couldnt find like anything on riding them so... so who has ridden it and how it is...i tried it on and fit crazy good so im picking them up tomorrow for like $190 so just double checking how it rides cause this is like all the money that i have
 
yea 190...the shop i ride for coulnt strait up give them to me so hes told me i could get it for 60% off, which is what he pays plus 20%

 
one i have tried it last year at a ski demo for shops at tramblanc and didnt like it to much but all depends on your foot boots are harder to fit then skis certain boot fit better on others. and secondly how are you paying 190$ FOR NEW BOOTS!!!!!!!! i paid 200 for my nordica superchargers n that was on a shop pro deal
 
ive been skiing them around my yard the past few days (ya i know). i like them way better than the 1080/foils.

they are much stiffer than the old 1080s, flex of 75. the foils are 85 and so are the spks, but i bet the spks are a little stiffer still. sure they are stiffer, but they have a much more progressive flex than the foils and the boot doesnt buckle when you max out the flex. they are not a stiff boot, but are stiffer than the old 1080s/foils.

you can barely notice the more vertical stance. i like it. its not much though. because they are a little stiffer and seem to have better heel hold than the foils, i would say they will perform fine for pow, especially for kids not charging like gnar. they are a little wider than the foils and a little deeper, but if its just for park, you wont notice at all.

very smooth skiing boot, obviously the padding is dope, much lighter than most others. if your considering any park boot(foil, scratch, big trouble) and it feels good, i recommend it. make sure it fits you decently though
 
^thats rediculous. the spk's are the softest boot i have evr ridden. so much softer than the 1080's i had last year.
 
It is also a matter of how you like to ski, I think I would hate them because they are straight upright and I liek to have my legs bent while I ski.
