Full Tilts

I ended up getting those FTs that were on the daily steal site, they fit fine except for maybe height wise, sometimes the boot puts pressure on the top of my foot. But what my real question was is that with these boots it feels like I am riding even more backseat. Are the boots just not as forward leaning as other boots? Im coming off some salomon boots, cant remember the model but they are fairly common salomon boots.

kinda weird since they lean mad forward for me.
and btw, canting adjusts the lateral, that is side to side angle, not forward lean...

Canting is actually reffering to grinding and replating the bottom of the boots to correct knee and leg alignment issues. What you can adjust on boots is really an upper cuff adjustment. Some boots you can adjust the amount of forward lean. I rode the new booters the past 2 days and I found that they had the smae amount of forward lean as most boots. If anything they feel like you can lean forward more because the cuff is cut so short.

i weigh around 145 lbs and i think the flex is perfect for park. 
it's personal preference though.
