Dude has created the touring super boot, from way too many different boots pieced together. Pretty cool.

That's ridiculous. Seems like it would be crazy expensive though...

i'm sure he bought them piece by piece.

and i bet that some company is gonna realize that he made some damn sweet boots, and will end up designing a pair very similar to that. and probably sign hoji

talk about holding so much knowledge of not only the mechanics of a boot, but the demands he places on his own equipment and what he requires out of it.

Hoji is something special

I think I remember reading over on TGR that dynafit were making a promodel boot for him, but again, not sure on this.

I still cant belive how he skis the stuff he does on dynafits. They look so brittle.

He does ski them locked out. Meaning they won't be releasing....AT ALL!
