great boot, just make sure you dont cheap out and not get the intuition liner, i wish i ad them in mine.

but you can change flex and forward lean, so if you are skiing park you can soften them up, in no time.

I guess this isn't surprising given the amount of changes to his pro model since 07 or so, but the first two or three generations of the Seth Pistol, he rode stock. Granted, he put a big metal deflex plate under the binding, but otherwise they were straight off the rack of the ski shop. And the 2004 first gen version (which I still own actually) are reasonably noodly.
