I Need To Share My Stoke

Ok this is an unnecessary thread to start things off so if you don't wanna read it thats fine.

But i just unwrapped my EP Pros from in the mail and I AM SO STOKED!!! I was doing butters in my downstairs and just clipping into them, i couldnt be happier.

After 3 months of Dishwashing at a retirement home i was able to save up the money to buy these, so like I said this was unccessary but i could not feel more accomplished!!!

So if this thread pisses you off then go ahead hate or lower my karma if you honestly feel like it, but I am just so happy. you have no idea how happy I am

How much do you get paid? 3 months!!! I made $500 for 5 days of work and I'm also doing unskilled, underpaid labor.

But getting new skis, even in the summer, is the best feeling ever.

well i make minimum, and only work 11 hours a week, plus considering i had to pay fines for shoplifting (cuz im an idiot)

plus i also have to pay for gas and other things along the way, so basically it could have been 2 months but i had to pay other things

yeah i don't have them, but i demo'd them.

you really feel like your floating. if you know how it feels to be sort of pushing your skis through the pow. these you just basically float on the snow, just a sick feeling.

trust me if you haven't skied on a rocker, you haven't seen the light haha.

Thats sick dude.
if you need bindings on them i remember seeing a thread earlier today with someone selling jesters for $160.

so if you have any more cash left over you should jump on that
