your boot isn't flexing because it is so big go to a shop and look around make sure the guys that are helping you know you are looking for freestyle/freeride boots

i did make a divider but if u put it above the divider people think it is part of what u are saying so they read it its a neat trick i got the idea from timmi's sig

seriously though, some of you assholes are probably going to get all the way through this before you realize your reading my signature.
