Keep in mind that a softer flex pattern gives you more control & tighter turns at slower speeds, making it easier to slide, but tends to loose stability at higher speeds. Stiffer flex patterns mean more energy potential, more stability at higher speeds, better longivity through abusive tricks and aerial landings, but is not as forgiving & lively when cruising. The Flex 1 is considerably stiffer so as to be suitable for the heavier rider & hard pounding thrashers alike.
