sorry, i searchbarred but couldn't find quite what i was looking for.

What would be the equivalent in normal flex ratings (like 80-135) of a 2009 booter flex 2 tongue?

I'm 5'7" 145 and ski almost 100% park. The boots fit amazing for me but im just wondering if its too flexible.

I know what spk flex felt like (these boots did not fit, they were bad for my feet) would it be comparable?

Also, if i were to need to change the tongue, anyone know where i could buy one immediately in the Massachusetts/boston area, or in the stratton area, or in the okemo area?

thanks.

I dunno the flex rating, but its really soft. Its a number 2 on the FT scale, which is the softest onethey make. I amd 6 ft 180 lbs and skied a #2 tongue for half a season and recently switched to the #6 dual density tongue from the BB pro and it was the best thing I ever did. WAY better. And Id look on the FT site for a list of dealers any shop who sells the boots should sell tongues as well. Give em a call beorehand to check if you dont want to waste your time.

a #6 tongue is like a 100 flex, a #8 tongue is like a 120

Id say they are probably to soft for you. Tongues can be ordered at FT.com or untracked.com. Or you could go for the classics (that is what i did). You also have the  hotdoggers which is right between.
