bringing back to the 80s -
If your KVCs didn't have quite enought muscle for the hard east coast race courses, what boards your have have begged your K2 rep for?
Wrong...the original comps predated Phil and Steve (at least their World Cup time)Quote:

I'd say it was the SL for Phil Mahre, but I'm probably wrong.
And the special thing about "The Ski" was it was "Guaranteed for Life." Too bad the company folded.

Until the very end when the Strato was a total POS, the Strato was always a combi ski. Smack in the middle of their SL & GS skis.
Well , I will bow to your knowledge on the subject. I thought that the 550 was the GS and the 650 was the SL . But I was pretty young at the time.Quote:

After drilling the skis, you insert a nail or an awl in the screw-holes. Spin it around to create a cone-shaped reservoir in the aluminum core - base of the cone near the base of the ski, tip of the cone at the screw-hole opening. Fill the holes with epoxy and install the bindings. Hang upside down until the epoxy cures.
Note: The Ski is still in business. Secondly, our resident shot-ski in my apartment is a "The Ski" with radicoooooool graphix.Quote:

What colors were the Atomic 533CE? They were some bad chickens back in the day fo sho!
The VOs were a rack ski. Blowing needed to be done to get the ski I'm talking about.Quote:
