they also feel like 2 midgets dangling from your feet.

I suggest head. They are nice and stiff with lots of pop in them and they are super durable. 'tanks' is a better word used to describe them. haha

well i would say get some heads cause those are by far the best skis i have ever ridden. but it looks like your looking for something a bit lighter. everybody that i know that have fischers that absolutely loved them. so you might want to give them a try. lines would also be a top choice. they are light and popy, and hold up.

what hes saying is dont pick a boot by the brand or w/e you have to go to a store and try on every single boot around your size and the flex you want, oh and get like 159 or 169 if your good fuji's they are a great ski i know tons of people who beat theres and theres nothing wrong with them
