Full Tilts Without Tongues?

Has anyone actually skied without tongues on there full tilts? I was messing around doing tip stands on my carpet without tongues and it was super comfortable. I still buckled the cables and put the power strap on. It was really flexy and forgiving like a snowboard boot. Going skiing 4 days in a row next week and thinking about doing this if my shin bang gets pretty bad.

I could see your liner breaking or your cables breaking or something going super wrong, good luck!

i see a flaw in this. you need to spread the pressure of the buckles throughout the tounge sort of like a roman arch haha.

there is no flex lockout in the shell itself. the only thing that keeps the boot from overflexing is the tongue. so if you land switch hard, you will get fucked.

be careful!

I don't think it's a good idea, isn't it way to flexible that way?
Besides that, your liners will get wet and your feet cold...
If you wanna try it, make sure you bring the tongues with you so you can put them on when you don't like it =)

I think that if riding in boots with no tongues was a good thing that would work there would be some super flexy tongueless boots on the market already
