^this....yeah dude for the last ten years I've been buying the boots I thought I was "supposed" to buy like spk pros, full tilts, etc....kinda thought fitters were for people with too much money who whined alot.....this year I actually sat down with a decent fitter and tried on everything from park style boots to full on race boots....what ended up working best were atomic hawx 120s.....if I were doing my own research and not working with a fitter, there's no way I would have ever considered that boot for what I do....no way....but it fits like a dream and felt pretty damn perfect jumpin around throwin 360s in the shop....I'm still a touch skeptical of the forefoot flex but they feel good....point being, don't just assume that a certain type or look of boot will work for you....I had all kindsa boot issues especially with the spks because I had my mind made up that it was the best boot for me ya know?
