All Things K2

[crgildart]

Over the years I've owned 233 Mids, 710FO, 812, FOUR -Bode version, VO for retro kicks, Public Enemy (80mm waist version). I've owned dozens of other pairs of skis over the past 40 years but have put more than double the amount of hours on K2 than I have any other vendor.

used have this belt as a kid. Wish i kept it, but it certainly would not fit anymore....

Still have this shirt from about 1972 and it was wore in my K2 Photo Contest entry

Joal, have to ask. Where did you get the Orange boots? They look practically brand new!

Sorry for the belated response. I have fallen behind and won't catch up for awhile yet. For a period I spent much, much too much time on ebay. Items like that came up as a "buy it now" more often than not at a very reasonable price. Most times the seller may have had some inkling of what they were but perhaps just wanted to make a quick sale. There is some very light binding marks on the toe and heel but no scars or scuffs from ski edges. Maybe just stepped into bindings in a shop and never have seen snow.

'Chew K2' is stuck in my mind forever. I don't know why, but it is.

Me too ....

Finally, the full "COMP" collection...

Thanks Matt Sterbenz from 4FRNT

Yes, that is Phil Mahre looking over in the corner.

 

[K2 Rat]

Did you paint this?

No and I don't own either. Somebody posted on Facebook and I thought it was pretty cool.

Thought perhaps you did since your entry in the K2/pugski contest shows you have an artistic eye.

Completely forgot about those hats. I had a similar one but white and not a cheeseburger one. Thanks for the memory.

I wanted to go so bad. Always on my Christmas list but guess I was not a good enough boy !!

Dug this poster out of my archives - used to hang in my room as a teen. Dave Petersen


Wow -- we had this hanging in my ski house as a kid. Thanks for the memory!
