What boot do you think i should get out of the three for mx racing, pulling off tricks(once i get better), and just playing around???
I know every one is going to say the tech 8s because they are the best boots out there also are a lot of $$$, in your onest opion which would be the best..
i have heard that the vectors are better for freestlye because of the rounded edge of the sole of the boot but don't offer as much ancle sopurt as the tech seris..
money ain't a factor.
help me out guys and gals

i don't know personally, but i saw a pair of those vectors a couple of days ago and they are sweet. the guy that had them said they were very comfortable and felt great. probably can't go wrong with the tech8 either.

my friend has a set of vectors and their really lame lookin. they look like pool shoes in a boot form. they also seem kinda wide and heavy for my tastes. i have thor t-20's but their not nesisarily that great of a boot (their no tec8's) but they work good for me

i have tech 6's and i think they are awsome, i broke both my ankles playin hockey last year and when i went shoppin for new boots the vectors are very comfortable but not very stiff, the tech 6's give me GREAT ankle support.

The vectors are a very comfortable boot to wear, but do not give that much ankle support. The Tech 6 and 8 are about the same boot. The 8 just have the little bootie inside. If you are going to be doing alot of jumping get the Tech 6 or 8. If you are just going to be trail riding look at the M4's are maybe the M6's for trail riding.

I have a pair of 6's and 8's I prefer the 8's they seem to be more comfortable

Tech 6's work fine for me. There the only boots ive had.

I like my T6s. Good support, but feel really comfortable to wear just trail riding.
