harrison 0 Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 I've got up to 100K to spend on gear this season. I need to buy everything - board, boots, the lot. Still shopping, but what would you do with the cash? Cheers Harrison Link to post Share on other sites
amandanism 0 Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 100,000 can get u a fair bit of stuff. depends what u want really, and where you want to aim your money whether it be boots, bindings, board. With 100,000 yen u wont be able to get 02/03 stuff, well not for everything anyways. i guess you should just think about where u want to channel your money (obviously boots are key) i bought a k2 dark star board (01/02 mind you), ride bindings and a pair of ThirtyTwo Tariff boots today. i spent around 60,000. the boots are really comfortable (they have a size 28!) and i got them for 12,900 yen. they are so comfy i keep sporadically putting them on Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Shop around You can find lots here for a good price. Clothes I hate to always tout Alpen but I got the full set up last year for under 12000 for jacket socks pants and gloves. I buy skis but I know if you buy last years gear you can shave a lot off the price. Also dont be afraid to ask ne Biki deki masuka discount please. Sometimes you need to get their store card and then you get 15% off. Best advice dont buy everthing on 1 day shop around and do some research into what you want. I bet I could gear up with 75000 easy. Link to post Share on other sites
snowboard_freak 0 Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 If it wer me i wouldn't focus on "the latest gear". You can get the older stuff (1-2 years) for heaps cheaper - as already stated. Most of the companies (boards especially) don't really change much except the pattern on the board. Just go with whats comfortable and what will fulfil your needs. Link to post Share on other sites
