Reflex boot for slalom and trick

[BMG73]

Is it a bad idea to use the same hard shell for both events? I had planned to get a plate and mechanism for my trick but wondered if this is not a common practice due to wear.

I like a stiffer shell for tricks than for slalom. But adding a tongue or heel slip in reinforcement can take care of that. If you wear out the boot - at least you are getting lots of skiing!

It’s very common to use the same boot for slalom & trick

My son has done it since he was about 9 years old. He uses the old black reflex shell for slalom and trick. My son doesn't flip on a trick and does about 1500 points of hands and toes. I do know much better skiers than him that use the same shell for slalom and trick.
