LOL and you do know that skis are to be straight, the acceptable length is one foot above your head.
keep talking - you are quickly becoming another antiquated old school skier. No worries, skiforever will welcome you with open arms.
Just ribbing you..............
You actually are semi correct and wrong at the same time, many of the pro FS skiers are still in thier race style boots - thats where they came from and that what they are comfortable in. Thall had a lot of input into the kryptons (loosening up the toe box) he came from moguls.... A collaberation of several salomon FS skiers (with USSA backgrounds) opened up the toe box on the SPK. There have not been boots to date that address the problems the newschool skiers have had. Nips boots were customized in previous years.
BTW - the SPK sucks in open free ride terrain, or so the reviews state. We will know more soon enough.
