i felt the same way last year after i missed my gates at nationals, woops, but i did well in jump and trick, once i got back east and back to the tournaments and did well again the "stoke" came right back haha
i think that if you tighten on or the other too much theres a chance of one coming out and not the other...which is the same problem for alot of boots......iv never had a really hard fall in mine thankfully but i just dont see coming out of them when it happens....thats why im probably going to switch to a different system.....dont get me wrong i like the boots...there comfy they flex nice, look good and iv skied well in them
