I can get these boots for 130 CAD..like 1/2 price..the Rossignol Axuim ski boots seem to fit me good when i tried them on today. there a 65/55 flex i think. will these be okay for the park? Im not super hard rider, and i like rails more than jumps, im like 140 lbs

they aren't going to be great for charging, but, if they fit well, which is the most important part, they should be fine for jibbing.

i would only use them (if I had too) for rails and and urban and backyard shit. i would think (even tho your kinda light) they would be too soft for jumps and real park shit (as opposed to urban). but the fit is key. do u have any other options?

If you think about it, then you are used to an 40 flex, and now you would be bumping up to a 55-65. I think you would be alright.

Might was well. And if they suck, then you can just sell them and buy new ones. It wouldnt be too much of a loss.

I didnt really mean suck like you thought i did. I meant that if they didnt work out for you as in the stiffness/flex/fit/whatever, then it wouldnt be a HUGE loss.

Ya, i mean boots age really well and seem to stay in good condition for a while. You would probably be able to get most of the money back from them if you sold them.

But the important thing is that they fit well. There is nothing worse than skiing on a boot that doesnt fit you right and having your feet feel like they are going to fall off. Especially on long trips.

I dont know yor foot size, but i would recomend the Rampages if these dont work out for you. But they might not fit your feet, so that would be a no-no
