Replying to Getting Ski Crazy and blowing my money! WWJD?
alright so apparently i want to ski badly, because i never upgrade gear but......last week i purchased some 176 '05'06 T Hall pro models for $300 (shipping included)!then today i wake up and noticed some 175 '04-'05 dynastar trouble makers i had previously bid on (i wanted them since they came out, but the shops sold out too quickly) for $253 including shipping, so i couldn't turn those down.
now my closet will be packed with two fresh unmounted pairs of skis that i've wanted for a while (troublemakers, t.halls). a pair of scratch 100 bindings i have laying around from a pair of broken P.E.'s (probably goin on T.M's). my beat up (used '05-'06 season) center mounted 180 '03-'04 AR5's (black and white) mounted with look p12 jibbers ($425 for the setup). and a pair of 181 salomon 1080's (robot top sheet) with some demo track bindings that i purchased when i got shafted and had no skis (due to k2's shitty warrenty program) two years ago. awesome pair to let people try twin tips on. ($300 setup).
i'm pretty excited. but now im thinking, 'how much money is left in my bank account?' I still have to purchase some bindings for the t-halls. and i want a new get-up this season. everything of mine is shot except my goggles. i threw out my pants after having them tailored 4 times, my jackets aren't cool (homeless people probably won't even wear em) nor did they really fit me (too big), my gloves are held together with duct tape, and my beanie isn't very affective.
ah yes, Christmas is coming! Thank you Jesus!
no real point to this thread, i just had to talk myself into a positive mind state after this additional purchase of new skis. word!
