Salomon SPK 75's Flex Index?

I am curious because the salomon SPK series are all separated by their flex indexes, and for someone who is going to be mostly in the park doing more beginner/intermediate tricks will the 75's be flexy enough for me? I am curious because if not I might just look to the 85's or 100's even. Let me have your opinions on this boot and what you think about it.

What flex you should get depends on a few things.
Most importantly how much do you weigh? And how tall are you?
Flex also comes down to personal preference and what you're skiing. If you like going really fast, dropping cliffs and hitting huge jumps then you should get stiffer boots but if you're more casual and just more into more simple stuff then softer boots would probably be your best bet.
Also go to a boot fitter and try lots of different boots not just the SPK you might try on the SPK and find that they don't fit you at all (happened to me). Remember that you don't need to have specific park boots to ski park.
Lastly this should be in gear talk.

Also I forgot to say the 75's are a kids boot I think.

75 is wayyy soft if ur heavier than 150 pounds your gonna land in the front off a jump and fall out of your boots like a banana out of its peel, well not really, but instead of shinbang from a stiffer boot your just gonna face plant, I rock about a 100 flex and weigh about 135-140 pounds depending on the chinese buffet i hit up. Good luck dude, like everyone will say bootfit your way to a happy season.

The 75 s feel like snowboard boots to me. Way too soft.
