I spent years while at Full Tilt attempting to convince boot fitters and shops across the country that the 3-piece boot design was as good for people that rip groomers all day, as it is for skiers that ride park. Bill Johnson was the only American to ever win an Olympic gold medal in Downhill and he did it on the same 3-piece Raichle Flexon design FT uses today. He insisted the boot enabled him to ski faster by absorbing shock better than any other boot design, look back at the 80's and you'll see most racers on that boot. It's awesome now to see Bode Miller skiing FT, of which he has been for close to a decade now, contrary to what most boot fitters have been brainwashed by other brands to to believe haha
