The "I need to brag about a gear purchase" thread

Cabin fever is coming early this year.

Nah, this was one off. Next instalment-August when the WRT Pro is out.
Now back to cycling as those 7000 km for this year won't do themselves.

yeah I'm hopeing WRT pro is more... september? ish

bought new house with all money due july/august, and ehh gotto pay backtaxes in august.

I'm getting some allready paid for new atomic SL165 and 193/R30's in august though.

we have indoor skiiing here and masters SL + I hit the park there, so very little cabin fever here. and most summer resorts are open now.

@Tony Storaro I wouldn’t worry about the low turning radius of those skis. Will seem very stable when skiing against the wind on the bunny hill…..

Where'd you get them?

 

[tomahawkins]

The radius. They come with R22 plate on. I bought mine without bindings as the only option at this time was SPX 15 in hot..lava or whatever, which are nice but the colourway of this ski just calls for green SPX 15s. Which are nowhere to be found atm so I will wait.

From my cold dead hands... Or if you just ask nicely.

I had three pairs imported from Look

Does this qualify as a gear purchase?

At any rate, congrats on your new home!

Isn't it a gear storage "accessory"? haha

There's a "wind up holding the bag" joke in there, I'm sure of it

thanks! not sure on gear, but it will generate gear purchases.
I'm working on ski storage solutions wallhanging or just going "full rental" solution on tracks, garage area is about 840sq feet, but I can dig out another 800 or so it seems...

If I go full rental on tracks I can't fit 2 cars length wise though due to a wall dividing inner/outer... the struggle is real,

Now to the fun part, I currently live in an appartment, the guy who bought it is also a huuuuuuuuuuuuuge ski nerd, so the realtor and everyone teasing my about my ski storage downstairs and saying I had to remove it were all wrong! the guy who bought my appartment wants it!

He's a smart man, there are many skis in that storage I'd love to buy myself!

Two different size slalom skis?

The 150’s are the tweener skis which she will primarily use. The 157 is the full on adult ski which she will test and do some training on throughout the year.

Got some 22 Faction Prodigy 1.0 in 178cm on a great deal for a buddy. He requested yellow Attacks which should look great on these. CT 1.0 would be much heavier and a bit too much ski for him I think.
Happy with the flex pattern as it’s nice and solid but still forgiving tip/tails. Should be perfect for him.

 

[Quandary]

Turns out the Peak 110s are not offered in 184. Only 178 and 188. Canceled my order and pick these up to fill the 102 to 115 gap in my quiver.

Out with the old, in with the new…after a few seasons on Atomic, my eldest daughter is switching to Rossi Z-soft

I'd like to post a brag about a pair of Enforcer Pros for under $500.

Any leads out there?

I hardly need them, but I've wanted a pair for 4 years and I'm not getting any younger.....
