BagOfCrisps 24 Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 No, but I'll be treating myself to something new before getting to Japan. It will be an expensive winter. Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 I got me a new jacket this week. Can't wait to use it. Link to post Share on other sites
SerreChe 2 Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 Just bot a new board. It's been 19 years after all. Can give myself a little treat. Still a Burton.. Wonder how these modern boards compare with the good old relics in terms of riding. Might have an adjustment period, learning all over again. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 If you rode that old board that long then the new board will be easy as cutting new apple pie. My friend jumped from a 10 year old burton to a new burton and was amazed to say the least. Link to post Share on other sites
amandanism 0 Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 i bought quite alot this season, but alot of it was because im living in canada now so wanted to get a new jacket, layers, hat etc. i also bought new bindings. but it really is alot cheaper over here than im used to. and there was a mega expo selling discounted stuff. could pose to be quite a problem for the next few years Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 Yeah but the 15% tax is a killer. The ski show is good lots of last years gear. But the damm tax is 15% I hated that. Link to post Share on other sites

But the damm tax is 15% I hated that. some places were selling stuff tax free this year (i guess at the expensive of heavily discounting it) alot of the clothing was hugely discounted, alot of stuff 70% off. the tax is a royal pain in the ass for most stuff though. especially at restaurants where you pay 15% and then the same in tips.

enderzero 0 Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 I buy new gear when I need it, which is usually about every year to year and a half. If you tear up your gear bad enough in one season you can usually get a warranty replacement. I am actually rockin my board from last year though this year. Pants/Jacket can last 2 or 3 no problem. Or then again some times a deal is just too good to pass up. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 ive never seen 70% off back home unless Im at the ski show or in the back room of the shop looking for deals that they cant sell up front. Sounds like there is competion in the area to discount that much. PS good work on swinging the deals. Link to post Share on other sites
snowboard_freak 0 Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 I want to get a new pair of pants but the finances just aren't cooperating with me at the moment. I think i'm going to see if I can find an online shop that ships internationally. There always seems to be good deals on the net somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 What color are you looking for got tons here for 50 to 110 auzzie bucks nike etc plus Oufreeski2 knows where there is a big sessions sale hit him up. same price range. I bought heli hansen pants and fila jacket for 220 auzzie. Link to post Share on other sites
snowboard_freak 0 Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 Thats a darn good buy fatty. I'll have to get in contact with OU. Colour - prolly something darkish, gray maybe, but I'm not overly concerned. I want something thats a bit on the baggy side. I like room to move. My current pants have a tear in them from an encounter with a tree this season. I'm not sure about buying gear from a non snow company. It just seems odd to me. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 they are all snow companies these days. On sunday ill go and flash some pics and post them from the store. My wifes got to work and hell I have nothing better to do besides running or cleaning. Oh please let it snow. Link to post Share on other sites

slow 0 Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 I bought a pair of ski pants today! I reseached curving skis, too but the shop guy said I need better one. I wanted to buy good deal and cheap skis... I need more reseach and will buy old model racing skis. That should be enough for me! Link to post Share on other sites
lin 0 Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 I've got some nice shiny new gear for this season. Now all I need is mountains and snow Link to post Share on other sites
