What SAGA jacket should I get?

-          I’m 15 and insecure, I ski like a tool and I need mum to by me some coolness cause I’ll never learn to ski right – and its to hard…

What’s the best one ski quiver?

- I have to pay my own skis and can’t afford more than one, so please help me.

Weak, try again.  And that ski is hit or miss for durability, even some Line riders will admit that.

"I heard that XXX ski is super light and durable."

-My friend almost bought that ski.
-Tom Wallisch rides that ski.
-I saw that ski at a shop and it had sick graphics.
-I have that ski...as of last week, I therefore know that they will last for 365 days.

Nothing sorry – I have a Volkl Karma and a Dynastar legend 8000, that’s all, I actually think it is ridiculous on some of the threads like “Post your quiver” the amount of skis some guys have in stock. Some kids get’s to much sponsor dough from Daddy-O – and some of these kids cant carve a nice turn…

most the "kids" with a big ski quiver are older. and probs buy their own skis.

But then obv you're going to have the spoilt kids.

why, older people deserve more pairs of skis??
your logic is nonexistent


"i'm debating between these 2 pairs of skis"

-one of them is obviously the right one but the other pair has sick graphics

all shit storming aside thomas collection of on3p is kinda like pokemon cards way back when. you were dieing to get all the cards and spent quite a lot of money in the process. looking back you prolly regret wasting all your money on those cards. its kinda the same because he likes on3p and wants them all which there is nothing wrong with but he already had great skis that worked very well but he sold them and payed a lot more on all the on3ps. i have nothing against on3p but dont you think he couldve settled on one or two of their skis plus his old quiver of eps and ll2?

A. EPs were to soft, i would have never ended up using them this year except on super deep days, so i sold them to purchase a pair of real park skis which i did not have

B. my ll2s started to shit out on me, so i sold them. yes they were a good ski, but the way i was riding them, they would not have lasted through the season.

C. whats wrong with buying all my skis from 1 company? would you guys bitch if i bought them all from armada? line? k2? if all my quiver needs can be filled by 1 company, who happens to make the best product(in my honest opinion) that are had made just a few hours away, why the fuck would i not support them?

D. i dont have 5 pairs of skis like some of you seem to think, i personally own 3, C&D for pow, Wrens for all mountain, and BSs for park. the JBS are technically my dad's, it just works out in my favor that we have the same bsl so I can ride them if I so choose so.

E. people ask how I can afford all these skis. I spend 90% of my money on ski gear. i dont have a car like most of you so i dont have to put money into that, i dont bike so i dont put money into that, and i dont buy alot of random stuff.

i'm 100% with you in making fun of thomas's ski collection because i find it ridiculous, but it's his (i think) money, his life, his skis, and he is entitled to do whatever the fuck he wants with that. he really likes on3p, he jizzes over the PNW and wants to support a company based out of there, and on3p's are the only skis which can handle his incredibly intense skiing style

however dumb it seems it's not really that big of a deal and it's his choice. it's like me making fun of somebody for getting moments instead of k2's...there's not really a legitimate argument
