Replying to How much flex do you need in your boots?

Hi all,

I haven't really ever posted here although have been reading the forums for a while now.

I've just finished my first season (on Armada AR6/Salomon 3V). It's been awesome fun but I've been using my boots that are a good few years old; old enough that I have no idea anything about them. I am planning on picking up a new pair very soon but my key question is how much flex am I looking for?

At the end of the season the biggest I was going was over 10-12m tables (yeah I know it's little but believe me it's big when you're new to it!) but I've been recommended to go for boots of a flex around 100 for racing, although I believe it should be significantly lower than this for freestyle, my time is probably devoted 75% park 25% piste but I only want to have 1 pair of boots.

So my question is does anybody know what flex rating I should be looking for?

Cheers,

Tim
