More Retro memories????

Yahoo..........

I know when RS has the last post in here at 6:00 AM, it is usually something good. You need some Yahoo II's to go with them.

I've got a pair Will post pic later today

Now have some proper skis for the Spademan step In's

Mine were on 233 Mids, the 80s version with the colored bands across the tails. Those went from being bump skis to air skis when I grew a little and acquired my Rossi FMs. I always seemed to have the model just below the top of the line mostly because I weighed under a hundred pounds in high school and preferred something softer.

I hate you.

Either of these are THE proper SKI for those Spademans...

Wow, I thought I was sick, but you guys are Siiiiiiick!!!
Cool!

Oh, and Rossi, repeat after me:
Philpug is right!

crgildart your 233 Mid's were from this vintage?

I thought the colored bands were FATTER with the lettering a bit smaller, but who knows.. It's been soooo long. It could be that the bands were fatter on the bottom. The tan color is definitely the same

Hawt! Now all you need is a Harley Davidson/AMF snowmobile to complete the package!

Foam anyone?

Remember 1972


"The first generation of production foam race skis—the metal Roc 550 for GS and the ST-650 for slalom—reached the market in 1972. At this point, Rossignol was the number one brand in the world."

VR Fans?

Anyone?

Rossi, you are one crazy dude!
Always waiting for the next piece of vintage phenomenon!
Didja get hooked up on the NJ thing?

Ah memories the ST 650 was my first pair of adult skis. Right after my VR17 jrs. The skis in your picture are in nicer shape. Mine took a beating learning to carve and ski bumps. plus the Ski-Saver took the clear coat off.

Anyone recognise these two?
Pehaps a few Bears from back in the day

Tuckerman Laminated

These are the oldest skis I have. Everytime I see them all I can think about is SOMEONE actually skiing them.

Can you Imagine taking these babies over the Headwall @ Tuck's?

Good one. Reminds me of the days when we used to convert Look Nevada toe pieces into hash pipes. They were always a hit on the ski bus during mid-term break.

"Hey Butthead, ssssp, he said a hit, cough cough"

K2 and Spademan...

Were you there ?

I had that same hat Morality (spelling) (Stowe, Vermont) the guy on theleft is wearing. Looks like Lange boots. Great nostalgia vibe again.

Olin time...

Made in the USA

Is there anything you can't find?

I'd love to get a look at my old orange and black Kastle Grand Prix.

Love the fischer C4!!!

Remember the C4 Flex? What a great ski that was. Amazing in the bumps back in the day!

Sorry but the best I can do (for now!) is my orange and black
Kastle CPM TI Slalom's......will that hold you over for now?

Wow, you do have most of it. I remember the CPM Ti and also had the CPM Specials which were pro-formed to instructors and ski patrols.

More bindings.

I wanna see Blizzard Polo twin tips. I'm going to shoot an email to an old buddy and see if there is any chance at all that he still has his. I doubt he does since he has moved many times since 1980.

Oh and while we're on Kastles, the same guy also had a pair of Kastle Newstyle Champions. I don't recall them being as cool looking as the Blizzards, but they had three groves in the base, one running from tip to boot and two running from boot to tail

Here is a pair of Newstyles. Too bad they didn't share a photo of the bottom to see if it is the one with the triple groove

The other ski from that 70's generation with a turned up tail was the Kastle Freestyle Pro.

I got a reply from my friend. I was correct that the Newstyle Champion had three grooves, one front and two rear and the Blizzards were the Polo model. He doesn't still have either of them

The Kastle Freestyle Pros were quite nice, wonder of any of those are still around
