Thanks formthe info. Please could you post some pictures of the set you have? My Olins are 205 cm. I believe the Bond skis were custom made and are longer than other Olins? Perhaps you could clarify the bindings were 360 RD Tyrolia. I don't understand the screw thing? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v8vantage Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 Always a few sets available in the USA, they pop up quite regularly. Problem is shipping to Australia will be quite expensive at the moment until the plague is eradicated. Quote Roo http://www.jpsesprit.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last pair of VI's SL I bought were from craigslist in 2011 so I will have a look at that again. Unfortunately some crazy Bond fan offered me 10x what I paid so I sold them, regret that now of course. Thanks Roo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for sale at the moment. They are about. I was very lucky and searched Ebay UK one lunchtime and bought them there and then. Other pair I found in Florida on Craigslist. I found other pairs but I was searching for a particular length so both pairs were the same. On craigslist search the sates in US where the mountains are and Canada. That is where they tended to be. Unless your lucky you just have to trawl and trawl for hours. Will bear you in mind so if I see any ill let you know. Would be very happy to facilitate to Australia if they were in UK. A Lotus owner in Florida helped me enormously for which I was eternally grateful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Philpug Posted April 17, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 Yes, the skis that John Eaves used in the movie were Olin Mark VI DH, 222 CM. I am in possession of Serial number 007 Signed by John Eaves. Here is a picture of myself and John with the skis. These skis were donated to the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Hall of Fame and proceeds will go to the Hall. If someone can direct me to the best avenue for these, I would greatly appreciate any help. I respect the fact that these probably have more value to a Bond or Lotus collector than the average skier, hence why I am reaching out to this forum. If you have any question on my validity, you can just Google my name and you will see my place in the ski industry and on SkiTalk, my skiing discussion community and review site. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilW Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 So if John Eaves used DH then that is new to me as I have 2 x sets of SL’s. SL’s can be seen being used by Roger Moore at the top of the ski jump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotusfab Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 The DH Skis were used by Rogers stunt double to make the ski jump. Roger used the SLs and they were on the car. Having said that they are a piece of film history and worth owning. Heres Roger’s foot Glad I got the binding colour spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
