hey shay, does the rk30 have more side flex and stiffer center than the k2 hurrithanes? im looking to avoid as much instability for those sketchy medium (10ft) kicker landings.

I have felt the difference at the shop, and it didn’t seem to be all that different, but flux doesn’t have any demo days scheduled at Bear Mtn.

Andrew, yep I’m wearing 686 smarty pants which have a hole in the pant for the boa system.

Twin, I haven’t tried the TT30 to compare but the highback choice is up to you. Are you able to play around with both in person?

Jose, yep! RK definitely have a skate feel to them but the urethane was not as soft as I was expecting, some give but overall stability from the top to bottom of the highback.

that is a hole for the boa system, 686 pants come with two velcro door holes.
i heard the rk has a loose skate feel to them because they have urethane highbacks, but you say they are stiffer than you expected, hmm, maybe i should demo some.

Do you think the difference in the flex of the highback warrants the extra $? or would the TT30 be just as good for park/all mtn?

Is that a hole in the pant liner to get at the BOAs on your boots? Thats a great idea if it is, i always got annoyed by pulling all the pant up to get at the boa. Or it got tangled when i tried to do it without pulling up the pant. Great blog too!
