Replying to Anyone else not like new skis/ new shit in general?
I hate new skis. They're too stiff, the edges are too sharp, and they're too shiny. I much perfer old skis, all nice and broken in and softened up. Edges all nice and rounded, camber all gone, all ruffed up looking. Last season I had some new crisp 09 ARV's and I tried to ride them over and over, but everytime I put them on, I would take 1 run and go back to my car to get my old sticks. I just couldn't handle it.
But it's not just skis, I'm all about old broken in stuff in general. Even if I have brand new nice stuff, I always wear my old, crappy stuff. I've got some wicked old dunks that have holes in the soles, and I wear that shit 24/7. I've got a new pair of dunks, but I never ever wear them because they're all new and stuff. There's just something really nice about wrinkles, and worn-ness.
So yeah...I like old, broken in shit. I'll be rocking my 06-07 ARVs until they explode, even though I've got brand new Anthems chilling. Anyone else have this issue/tendency?
