Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I was speaking to this guy the other night and he said that every year, around October, there is usually some sort of Fair where they sell lots of snow gear on the cheap. He couldn't remember where it was but said its usually in an exhibition centre, selling off all last years stuff. Anybody heard of this and got any more concrete details?

Thundercat 60 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I've heard of it but... no concrete deals at all. A friend of mine who lives in Okayama went to one there and bought some really cheap gear. I think it was put on by Murasaki sports. They probably happen all over the place... I'll email him to ask but not sure if he can be of any further help either... Link to post Share on other sites
TJ OZ 0 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Yep it travels around the country. Last year it was at the Big Hat (skate rink) in Nagano. There was some really good deals and not just last years gear. I saved over ichiman on some Burton sli boots. Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 do you have a date for the big sell off? Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Normally at the beginning of October but don't quote me on that Just checked the event listing for Tokyo big site and there is nothing on there in regards to this within the next three months. Link to post Share on other sites
TJ OZ 0 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 If you go into Jimbocho in Tokyo there were some great deals on boards last month when I was there. Link to post Share on other sites
Jynxx 4 Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Since you are bigger and heavier bloke, I reckon you have more options out there. Like you can ride boards that's too stiff for me. I'd be interested in Atomic Banger if I had your weight Others I looked into are K2 Gyrator, Nitro Pantera ... Also really expensive but Nickerdecker. I have a Salomon Burner and it's supposed to be stiff but my 157 is perfect for my 5'8'' 120~130 lbs . I've heard others say it's too flexy and I don't know if it gets progressively stiffer when it's 163. sorry I don't like Burton. Link to post Share on other sites
