ha ha ha,  well that includes clothes and bindings and boots.  I haven't bought pants or coat in 4 years, my boots i bought last year are done, goggles...  my poles broke at the end of the season, so i pretty much need everything again.

some people see me, riding without poles and wearing jeans. and they say "Emmett, you are nothing but a comformist lame-o who wears the same kind of clothes as the Surface riders."

but let me tell you...its because im poor.
i have no money, so i broke my poles so i was like fuck it not using any. then i ripped my snow pants and i was like fuck it not wearing any.

all i gotta pay for is my season pass, and at a lean 175, i should have the money to pay for it in a matter of days. (fat girls pay well)

i dont want to know...

so i will not take the time to add it up because then i will divide it and see how many hours i need to work at burger king to pay all the shit off. if i had to guess... 350 for pass + 1600ish for camera + 80ish for pants + 200ish for comps and shit = way to much time at burger king flipping burgers.
