Full tilt first chairs

Just brought a pair from my local shop today! The guys in the shop said they would handle well in the park even though they have a really stiff flex pattern. To follow this up I checked on the internet and it seems they are geared more towards all mountain charging. However has anyone got a pair and can speak from experience about how they handle in the park... just a bit worried may have got the wrong boot, wouldn't be cool.

thanks guys.

yes they are more of a all mountain boot but i know someone that uses them in the park and kills it. if they are to stiff then look into buying a softer toung

yeah there a 10 flex so pretty stiff but i can flex with enough force.

My plan was to buy another tounge but they only had 8's in the shop in my size which wouldnt have made much difference+ I live in the UK so there not the easiest things to find lying around.

But generally though they should be alright in the park?

i dont see why not. boots are boots and if they fit you they will do alright everywhere.

all full tilts are essentially the exact same boot...only difference is stiffness of tongue and the liner and boot board.....sooo you could make them super flexy by just buying a 4 flex tongue...now you have a park boot  and charge boot all with the switch of a tongue....hence why full tilts are awesome

It depends on how heavy you are and what you ride in the park. Jumps you want a stiffer flex, jibby stuff you want a softer flex ideally, but really it is all personal preference. I personally find stiff boots miserable to ski in.
