Here are some vintage DH boards.For a point of reference, the 710-Comps are 200's.

I still have my Head CR-4 in the basement 210cm. Those skis rocked at speed. I use to use the same Dynafit Comp 3F boots as the Austrian team. I loved those boots and hated to see Dynafit get out the downhill alpine business. I had three pair of those boots

Wasn't alive for this and didn't know anything about it, but man, Klammer was on edge that whole time. Looked like he could've wrecked almost at any point. Wow. Balls out.

Same here. He was just barely hanging on! :eek:
