well i am no DIN expert but for freestyle, it shouldnt be really tight cause your leg will break off. im probably wrong by saying 8.5 or 9?

if your BSL is less than 331mm then you would be set at 8.5, over 331mm and you would be set at 8

IF you way 185 id defintley go at least 9 maybe 10. If you dont ski hard at all i guess you can go 8.5 but if you ski hard park then go higher
