First Gear Purchase for 2010/2011 Season

[Dan-]

I have yet to ride one, but I'm not really feeling the heel edge having a deeper sidecut then the toe edge.

[xNick11]

Just ordered my season pass to Blue, along with 181 Armada Ar7's with PX15's.

[AngryHugo]

Here's my list of new stuff for the season:

 

Never Summer SL 161

Never Summer Premier F-1 163

Bern Watts Hard Hat

Burton ak pants

 

Really stoked to get back on Never Summer boards. I had one years ago, and it was the best thing I ever rode, despite being a little heavy.

[Dan-]

Guess im gear whoring hard this year. I sold my 168 K2 Gyrator and picked up a Burton Sherlock 160.

 

And nice Hugo, i've been wanting to ride something from NS for awhile now. Always hear good things.

I had a 2005 NS evo, and even though i loved it, as you said it was pretty damn heavy. I went into EMS (gotta love the student discount) a few weeks ago and played around with this years evo, and its lighter than my rome artifact, and i nice mid-flex, so I bought it. Im pretty stoked on riding a NS again as well, and if i can get some money together i may get an SL sometime after christmas as well.

 

For bindings i picked up some union contact pro's, which feel pretty legit.

They're soooo nice. The SL I had was the quickest thing edge-to-edge I'd ever been on. Totally solid, prefect flex, great edge hold. But I think it might've weighed 450 lbs.

I ordered them direct, and the product manager/promotions dude/head muckety-muck called me twice just to shoot the shit and talk about the new features of the boards and stuff. Then he sent me a box of swag - hat, shirt, die-cuts, etc. That means a lot, especially when a lot of companies are like "Buy our shit and leave us the hell alone". Totally cool guy and company.

NS dude (Vince) said this year's mission was to get the weights down. My SL is MUCH lighter than the one I had - definitely lighter than the Rome I was on, too. I wanted to get the Evo as a jib board, but spending that much on something I'm just going to kick the shit out of seems silly. I sold a ton of stuff at the Buckman's sale, so I'll get a cheap Rome or Forum or something with my credit.

 

You are going to LOVE those Unions. Work great and are indestructible.

Just got the boots fitted, the Mantra's mounted, and the PE's and Got's adjusted. Oh, and I got a volkl double ski bag that'll fit both my 190cm and 184cm Volkls. That concludes the last of my expenses before ski season begins!

line blends and marker griffins, smith IOs, smith vantage helmet, fly low gloves, burton tech flannel, kevin thomas jacket

[RootDKJ]

Hootie hoo....i haven't bought anything yet...

Are you still going for new boots?

[AtomicSkier]

Are you still going for new boots?

 

He keeps saying that...I'll believe it when I see it.

[RidgeRacer]

All I got was a new helmet (Boeri - black). Will need goggles at some point. I'm quite the procrastinator as well.

Rose picked up some new pants today, and is possibly getting new boots tomorrow after about 3 hours in the shop tonight. I just rode my new skis and boots today and my feet hate me at the moment.

[Shadows]

wow 3 hours in the shop/..more than 20 minutes and I would lose it..

 

thats probably why you dont steer.

Between determining what size boot you should be in, trying on different boots, and then getting the footbeds adjusted right/aligned...you should spend at least an hour there.

At least an hour. Just get it done gss.

but that's an hour that he could be spending in his apartment smoking pot and going to bars and wasting money. That'd be time much better spent.

[AtomicSkier]

I think I'm going to Jackson hole mid January without you..

 

You need to get your shit together. Because you know once ski season starts you're not going to want to take the time to get boots, etc. Do it now.

[AtomicSkier]

I was planning on it one day this week and buy some other shit. A-jeff u are like the strict parent I never had.

 

You said that last week.

 

[Justin]

you guys are so cute together

Really now, why not just try on boots stoned?

ZING! Funniest thing i have seen today.

[Ride Delaware ?]

I have no clue what he means... But back to the topic at hand, I still need to pick up two new sets of bindings and another pair of pants... I am way behind and just like GSS keep procrastinating... I feel like I want a snowboard rack for the jeep too, but I never know where to begin with that one...

I didn't know KT had a pro-model coat now. Does it make you ski like him?
