Full Tilt Flex

gonna keep this short.

First off its not about a boot fitter because i got fitted for a full tilt drop kick. So i spend most of my days like a normal east coast park rat just hitting rails and some occasional jumps. recently i have felt like i my boot is flexing way too much forward. (doesnt make sense but i cant think of how to word it). i am only 5'6-5'7 nd 120 lbs, should i be using the 6 flex instead of 4?

If you feel like you are flexing too far forward then you already answered your question.

I'm 5'4" and 125 lbs and I have tried on a pair of '11 twalls and they feel great with the 6flex. I've never skied in FTs but have ordered some '12 Twalls off NS and expect to get them this week. I'll tell you if they work out well in about a week.

This year's drop kicks? I'm fairly certain they are a six flex, not four.

if 4 is not stiff enough, then 6 should be better. duh

It's all preference. I have a pair of the first red twalls (flex 6) and I felt they were too soft for any skiing except for park so I bought a pair of flex 8s and I use them for everything and I like them a lot better.
