hi.im 14 and l need some new boots. l have about a week to decide what boots l wanna get. l would like them to be under $150. l dont know if l should get boa or just traditionl laces. l have a 2008 GNU carbon high beam series magnetraction.i havent used it yet. l also have flux emblem bindings. my boot size is 11 if that matters at all. l mostly freeride the trails but l think l might try some boxes and rails this year. any good suggestions?

l own thirty two boas. l used to own some salomon boa boots last year. worth every cent. l leave my friends in the dust. l have taken 1 or 2 rides up and down the hill before my friends are even at the lifts yet. they have to tie up their boots, and all l do is pull and lock. l lov eit. it takes me 5 minutes max to put on my boots!
i got my thrrty two boas for $129.

good luck and have an awesome '09 shreddin season.

l have been riding with Vans boas (multiple pairs) since they first came out. l love them, my only complaint is l break a lot of them. They arent supposed to break either. If you get them, make sure you have some extra cables, of the right size, on hand.

l may be an exception to the broken laces because l am instructor and l am in my boots for 30+ hrs a week. :-)

Solomon also has a quick and easy lace system you may want to check out.
