See! Thanks Carrie
O YA like I'm gonna believe the ya-ya sisterhood over a do0d on this one.
I think it depends on brand, but FWIW I don't remember a significant difference between the Tecnica Diablo Spark and Diablo Flame when I tried each on and they had a 10 point difference in the flex rating.My real question: I know nothing of these "flex ratings" of which you all speak. Is there really going to be a significant difference if I move up by ten points?

pfftfftttt.... ya ya sisterhood > u
On a more serious, less hi-jacky note... Tim's going to call Dave at Ski Market. With any luck we might head there tonight to check out the boots that are on order and see how they feel.

I would doubt it. Like has been said earlier (if you wade through the muck and Wa-Loaf and Jack's pissing contest:wink It really is all going to come-down to how they feel. I seriously doubt you'll tell much of a difference in the store especially. You may feel a difference on the hill though.
I would just go with the one that feels most comfortable. If, a year or two or three from now, you decide you need something more aggressive, then move-up.
Another thing, no offence here, you look a hell of a lot better in the bumps than I do, but after watching the vids, I would say you're still "getting your feet wet" this goes for the trees as well. Don't complicate things. Use the boot that feels most comfortable so you can concentrate more on improving your technique, and worry about your gear less.
I'm just a bit concerned about the boots because the last ones really didn't work out at all and I don't want to shell out a couple hundred bucks for the same thing to happen again.
... picked up the Attiva v2.8s.
Seems like a nice boot, did you get the detachable heel lift? If so, how does that feel with and without it?
