dude today i hit up my local shop and talked to the guy about freeriding.
Im a teacher here, so im mostly outa bindings running around. he showed me last years rome folsoms. Light weight and with a little give but a good amout of support.
Lets just say im shy about a hundo and fifty after walking out of there. Def go hit up the shop and try a couple on check out the flex, and run around in them. and remember all boots will break down over time and soften up a bit.
