 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi,
I got a new pair of Full Tilt Seth Morrisons back in Jan, think I got talked into them by the salesman as I went in wanting some soft flex boots for doing freestyle in but ended up with these at a flex rating of 10! (pretty much the same stiffness as the boots I was replacing)
No biggy realy as the main reason I wanted Full Tilts was because of the replaceable toungs. The plan was to get a pair that I could switch between soft and stiff depending upon what the day held.
Anyway, Im wanting to buy a soft flex tounge now but not too sure which one to go for, has anyone got any experience of these toungs and can recommend which stiffness I should get? Ive pretty much skied on race boots for the last 20 odd years so would imagine most will feel realy soft anyway.
Was looking at the 6 but not sure if this will be too soft for me
cheers

I've skied 4, 6 and 8 tongues on various boots through the years. Yes, the difference is (just) noticeable. No, I haven't a clue which will suit you!
Bear in mind that the flex doesn't feel like other boots. As you push it seems to feel stiffer and more precise.

I'd say they won't - but then I skied exclusively on Flexons for over 20 years and are quite used to them.
If you've learnt to balance on your feet and are just wanting to do strange things with them then, to me, they'd seem ideal.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I've got a pair of seths and a 6 tongue too. The 6 flex is pretty nice for freestyle stuff for myself but i do prefer stiffer boots so wouldn't want the really soft flex. If you prefer the really flexy boots for freestyle then i'd consider going for the 4 tongue since the liner in the seths is a tad stiffer than the basic level full tilts if my memory serves me correctly. Just make sure you get the tongue in the correct size for your boots.....made that mistake once

cheers Andy, I think the 6 is the one for me then, skid in race boots for the past 20 years so used to a very stiff boot, dont know how Id cope with a very soft one but obviously want somthing a little softer for freestyle. P.S. yeah I almost ordered the wrong sized one
