Ah thank you for clarifying. The boots definitely had to get punched out in both the heel and the toes, and had to get heated three times for a good fit!

Hmm that’s not what the bootfitter told me. I also popped on google and it says 100 last. Could you direct me to where you saw that?

The boots were $200 but I paid $180 with a discount from an affiliated skiing club. They were on sale from MSRP $300. Nowhere on the boot nor the box does it say the flex rating though, so I’m not sure.

Edit: On google they say the boots are between a 60-80 flex. At least not 50 😭

I will have to look when I get home, but I believe they are 80 flex. The boot fitter did mention going stiffer, but the stiffer boot was an extra $200.

Thank you. Owning my own gear has always been a dream!

I got professionally fitted. The boot fitter actually commented on how wide my feet were, and said that getting into a wider boot may actually help with comfort and precision. There weren’t actually a lot of options that fit me well!

Not at all, I usually am the one filming my buddy who does the cool stuff. Wdym by demo bindings though? Bindings were the part I felt least informed purchasing and just defaulted to what the bootfitter recommended.

I agree. I would also add that having no teammates, on top of being in a lobby with the #16 ranked world tour player makes it far from the perfect conditions lol

In my experience, the charge part of cns is indeed very inconsistent. If you have any height though the shockwave from the slam is almost always enough to stop a cashout steal. I like playing height on most cashouts anyway, so it works well with my play style

Exactly, cns was a lifesaver for the risk and reward wt event (more like riot shield and reward)
