i heard the pros don't use boots so they can run up the beach, instead of riding upwing t bust more moves out, is this true?

Don't confuse the pro freestyle events where time is oat a premium and straps is the only way to run upwind quickly. Then get back into the heat between competition flags.

Alot of pro riders riding freestyle for fun ride in boots.

Hope this helps
