Okay so I ordered FTs but they over sold so Now im fucked with FT. But I work in a shop so I have proform cards for all brands. I love the Fit of the Technica Phoenix/agent 80 shell but they are not on The technica team proform. The boot that is that same shell is the phoenix 100 air shell wich is really a 95 flex. I ski most park but trees when there snow to be skied. I can get them for 125 when the usually go for 569.. there the same shell and liner as the firebird that I like just a drop stiffer and have the Air system... should I just buy that boot or buy somehting not on proform wich would cost me a lot more..... I dont know what hte difference between an agent and this boot are anywayh except the air system and this boot has a better liner... what should I do
 
I had the same issue with my pro card stuff. (work at a shop also). If you are a good skier and are skiing all over the mountain that 95 just wont be stiff enough.

If you have dalbello, marker, volkl procard get a pair of Rampage or Krypton. They both fit similarly to what a full tilt fits like (width wise) and they are both a three piece system boot. They come with two separate tongues so you can hook a stiffer one when you are skiing outside of the park.
 
Let me add detial.... the ft is too narrow for me I order at booter in a 30.0 cause I need the last with the FTi shell. Im actually worried 95 would be too stiff for me in the park. What do you think? I already used my Marker/ volkl card for Jesters but I didnt even see dalballo on it. Isnt technica with the marker/ volkl/ k2 company?
 
No technica is no longer associated with them.

The stifness depends on how you are doing most of your park riding. Are you hitting mostly jumps or rails?

I would recommend the dalbello voodo because it is a wider fitting boot, pretty similar to the booter but if you already used the marker pro card than that is a no go.

You could look into an SPK but I have a friend who rides technica and likes them a lot.
 
Im Like half rails half jumps but I like my boots soft but loos wich like im sure you know the more expensive the boot the stiffer and more narrow. I live the fit of the pheonix series so I think Im going to go with that. What flex is a good all around skier flex?
 
I would say around 100 but if you like it a bit softer you could down to 90. I would not go any lower than that though. The SPK kreation is a 90 and it is pretty damn soft.
 
Well the p100 airshell has the switch which goes from 90 to 100 flex (I can never feel a difference). What would be the negative of the p100 as a park boot?
 
The main difference between technicas all mountain and freestyle boots are that the freestyle have a dampening sole. So really your only negative is that you do not have that but really unless you are hitting 50 + foot jumps all day that is not a major issue.
 
Yea Im not hitting those jumps at all lol. fuck it im getting these boots how can I beat that boot for 125 dollars. thanks for the help man +k
