The Jackson Hole-based company has grown from a rag-tag group of ski bums to one of the world’s most decorated media companies, largely due to its reach and appeal to the Millennial audience. I can also supply you more photos of the Raichle Flexon 5 and Flexon Slalom which I purchased in the last years of existence, but didn’t like. Always felt the Flexon was the best ever but vanity kept me off them. By then the Flexon was gone from the market so I switched brands. I used them for over 12 years till I became too self conscious of the dated color scheme. I own the Flexon Comp VIP model which has special graphics to commemorate the 1989 Vail World Championship. I got so excited to see you’ve brought my beloved Flexon comp boot back.

I love the photo on full tilts page of the classic boot. I think they are about a half size to small. I was in the 7th or 8th grade when i bought my flexon comps. I am a father of three and new boots really are not in the budget for me. Bought these boots brand new at gull ski back in the winter of 88-89 i think. On 2/27/12 while at snowbowl in Missoula MT my velcro came off the power band strap. Since 89′ Jason Bird has been rockin’ these Flexon Comps and now this father of three can breathe easy knowing he’ll be in some brand new Full Tilts soon! Check out his entry below!

I ride park everyday and am at 53 days so far this season. i wanted full tilts but i can’t afford them, so i settled for these, by painting the tongue and writing “FT” on the side, i hoped they would look like last years hot doggers, but that obviously didn’t work. Q: what are the cuts in the tongue for? A: My attempt at modding them so that they could flex more. i bought them because once covered with pants, they look like FT’s, of course, being old and crappy, i get gnarly shinbang and bruises on every single toe. “Here’s the “A” to the “Q” you’ve been asking no I didn’t get them from my parents, I purposely bought these at a ski swap for $5. Now that we’re sending him the real deal, Aiden won’t have to deal with shinbang any more! Check out his entry below! Unfortunately they still looked like wannabes and felt like it too. Aiden Parece got these boots for $5 at a ski swap, then attempted to make them appear like Full Tilts.
