all you are going to get from this site is, "try on as many pairs as you can, whatever one fits the best get that one" with taht in mind check out the dalbello (sp) kyrpton rampage

The completely re-designed park boot.  Salomon has always had the best park boot in my opinion, and I'll bet this one is even better.   There's so much padding you probably wouldn't even notice decking on a jump.

the extra shock absorber added into the heel of the liner.

Have you tried either on? If not, you need to. It's ridiculous to buy boots without trying for fit first.

better overall?

dude you cant say that about boots, boots arent like skis. they are only as good as the fit, and to know the fit you need to try on the boots.
either boot could be horribly uncomfortable for you if they dont fit you right.
never buy a boot based on someone elses opinion, or on hype.
you cant compare the boots side by side because its all personal whether or not the boot is good. Two people can test both these boots and have completely opposing opnions, it all comes down to how well it fits you.





i recomend you go to a shop, try on as many pairs as you can, and when youve decided, spend at least 20 minutes walking around in them. so many people rush through buying boots and they pay for it dearly when theyve got mad shinbang or someother problem.
