YoungChristmasHow much do you weigh and what does your typical day on the hill look like?
deke_skiim 160 Lbs. 90% park I like hitting a lot of jumps and rails.
powpatrolyou can get a stiffer tongue for moro 110 if they don’t feel stiff enough down the line
YoungChristmasYea, maybe wait for the 110s. I'm about 15 lbs heavier than you and ride 120s as a do-it-all boot, but leaning more all-mountain/freeride lately.
I know flex rating can vary a lot between brands, but I had some Head boots in a 110 when I was skiing more park, and weighed about the same as you. Never felt like it wasn't enough boot on 50+ ft jumps and they still skied the rest of the mountain well. I feel like 110 flex is sort of the sweet spot for a park boot that can still ski other stuff reasonably well.
deke_skiwhere can I find stiffer tounges? I couldnt find any on the dalbello website

BallClapperFor park probably 110. If you venture into big mountian go 130. I'm 170 ish and have 120 flex boots that I mash out on rough landings of big drops. Punched over the front from boots squashing on many occasions. The dalbellos are a much more performance oriented boot than the ft. Its to be expected from a brand that has made phenomenal race boots for such a long time.
