The FREE SKI STUFF thread!

Or other stuff! Doesn't have to just be ski stuff.

Maximumsushi was talking to me earlier and said he was going to give some of his old outerwear away to stoke some kids up. Who doesn't like free stuff, especially when you're hurting for it? We've all been there, "I need new pants but I can't afford it right now". So the idea emerged, post a thread where members pm their shipping info to you and paypal you the shipping cost (or beer), and hook up one of them at random with free gear!

Rules in this thread (mostly based on karma... don't be a dick)

1. No dibs! Who gets the stuff is selected at random or at the owner's discretion. After all it is their free stuff to give away.

2. If you're giving something away, say where you're from area-wise so people can ballpark the shipping.

3. No one probably wants your 6 year old kombi gloves with the hole in them. Not that we don't appreciate the gesture.

4. Most importantly of all, don't lay claim to something you really don't need! If someone's giving away some Siver pants and you have 2 suits of outerwear already, leave it for the kid who's using beat up leaky pants from 3 seasons ago.

So... Post things you don't need anymore that other people might want!

Okay, I don't really have pictures of these yet, but we'll work on that. Just to get the thread started. I live in Vancouver.

181 Head Mad Trix, 2003 Mounted twice, with a few topsheet cracks and one repaired core shot, but the edges are totally intact... so if you're seeking some urban sticks to spraypaint up, let me know. They're the white and grey ones, look like this except these are the mogul ones.

Spy Soldier M.F.M. in White Used last season, they're actually my only goggles right now because I lost my new ones but I'm planning on getting another pair so I can stand to lose these. I don't notice any visibility problems wearing them. Look like this, except with bronze silver mirror lens and different strap.

Lange Sft Plus soft boot, size 29.5. Used 2 seasons. Super light boot for messing around in. It's got the fabric tightening system on it. One of the straps looked like it might be weakening so I reinforced it with the handyman's secret weapon: duct tape. They're still in perfectly good shape though, and would easily last a season. Look like this:

That's all I can find in the closet for now.

Oh right I forgot!

Burton Ronin 2l Cargo size XL, from a couple seasons back, in black. Used. They have a couple of cuts around the cuffs but nothing more than an inch or so, standard stuff. The waterproofing isn't what it was when I bought them, some nikwax might be in order. Look something like this.

Yeah those aren't them they just look like those pretty much. I mean it's a black XL snowboarding cargo pant. You can pretty much guess what they look like.

Lots of people want the goggles apparently. I might have to draw a name out of a hat or something.

Other people! Look in your closet and see if you have something to post. A piece of outerwear you won't be using this year, or some goggs you don't need, or something! I know half of the kids on here get new gear every fall, so come on, give away some of your old stuff to someone in need!

i just checked the helmet again and i dont think its considerd matte black, its glossy on some parts with textured surface on others that make it not really shiny.

These can go to a needy skier, all the buyer has to do is paying shipping ($20 roughly).

J.D. I'm super interested in those Mad Trix's, I remember when I was first looking at twins back in the day I was gonna get a pair of these, hah. The search function isn't working for me, but I spray painted a pair of skis this summer (can't find the thread with pics) but I'd be happy to work up a nice little design for those skis and post the pics when I'm done. They will be mounted and skied though, no wall artwork yet....

well i got some stuff i could find to give away, not ski related but w/e.  i'm interested in the random hats the one guy was gonna post some pics of, and i could really use a pair of pants even if they're beater.  i have some medium sessions right now that barely cover the top buckle on my boot.

for now lemme throw out the offer of 3 schick quattro razors (assorted kinds)

i live in zip code 11762, shipping should be around $5 no matter where

i think you are missing the point of this thread. 
 
in your past threads, you have a "WTB Xbox 360"
 
this is for people who are less fortunate or in a tough situation man, not some greedy fuck that wants a pair of free goggles because he just dropped $400 on an xbox...

HAHAHAHAHAHA

You have had those for years. It doesn't even make sense for someone to pay $5 for 3 razors though, thats more expensive than they are in stores.

Still really interested!

I have a large Gap puffy jacket that I can throw up, it's not too long but it's really puffy and bulky and probably as gangster as Gap could ever possibly be. Probably not too waterproof, no hood, but I've worn the thing unzipped with just a t-shirt in 15 degrees F or below. It's damn warm, just too bulky for me (I'm scrawny)

Ok, I know this is a ski website...but I have here a Thule snowboard carrier. I got it for Christmas two years ago, and I have never used it. I opened it to look at it, and since then it's been getting dusty in my attic. (And I live in NY)
