Salomon 1080, Line Transfer, Rossi FreeRide XX, Lange Banshee, Rossi Free X, Salomon X-Wave, Kneissl Rail.

All good boots in my opinion.

I used to have Lange Banshees they were to stiff for me (jibber...150lbs) and gave me MAD shin splints. I use a saloman Xscream 7 (Xwave is what they call it now) and no more shinsplints.
I wanna try some Rossi Soft boots though.. they look nice

ya, any Salomon boots, I think the Rossi soft might be too soft for anything besides park. unless your like under 140 lbs

I jsut got the new salomon pro (not the 1080 -looks similar but is stiffer) and it is sweet! got the original 1080 that was nice, but they made it softer still last year which kinda sucks unless you are like under 130. The rossi softs are nasty...stay away they fit shit and, well, just look gay (like tanner, evan and those rossi boys riding in them). Banshees are nice, but a bit narrow. see if you can find some raichle flexons anywhere - they are nice, not too soft or hard, and fit most people nicely. Also take a look at the new atomics, as they have some nice shit on them. Tecnicas are real sweet had a pair of XRs and they were real smooth.

But remember its what fits more than looks good....
