sweetvids Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Unlike previous years. Now that you get off at 2pm you can go EVERYDAY!!!
ghostgoodboy Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 snowboarding season officially starts today, cypress is open yeeeeeeaaaaaah checklist for me snow gears ( ) season pass ( ) blow money ( ) I'll be down for pre-Big-White sessions, just hit me up and see if I'm working or not. fuck I'll be so much more willing to buy a board if I could go Big White. Does Will still holding to your extra board Mike? what are the things I can borrow from you?
Saru Kada Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 fuck work call in sick for a week will still has my old board yeah, not sure if he's using it much I do have another spare board, what size shoes do you wear? other than that I do have extra jacket and pants lying around
geogaddi Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 yeah so who's coming with me? i got fong, tory....
ghostgoodboy Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 (edited) fuck work call in sick for a week as much as I'd love to, gotta have funds for Trine 2 and CEs lol. I wear 11.5. I guess I'll swing by sportcheck for other things cause last time I wore the jacket and pants were a bit tight. what's the board's binding size that Will has, and you spare board? can't fit then it's GG. wtf all the spendings toward snowboarding = new PC set, hmm mulling.

sweetvids Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 I don't know Ray. It's kinda hard to argue needing to go to work at a minimum wage job. I'd go to Big White, but I'm probably going to be working as well. The difference in my case however is that I'd be missing out on 240$ a day and probably 1000$ in wages and 3000$ in combined expenses for the trip and potential lost wages because the Grain Elevator is all like "you can't fuck off for 5 days when you're only working about 10 days altogether". Unless you're going to be losing out on potential earnings equal or greater to what you would have spent going to Big White, it's probably better to on the trip and have a good time than potentially just making an extra couple hundred dollars. If you were in a situation like I am where you have to pay rent, then sure a few hundred bucks always helps, but in your case it's just disposable income anyways. Counter-argument though is Fuck buying Snowboarding gear. Shits too expensive which is why I don't go snowboarding. Board, pants, jacket, goggles, pass, etc for something you're only going to use 4-5 months out of the year, maybe once a week? Fuck that shit.
JOFan Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 The board has been assimilated!!! I would need to use it for this year until it breaks!!(I think its getting there from the abuse last year). Mikes got season pass already for cypress? I will probably squeeze in some time to go at least 3-4 times this season. hypppe for more bruises also whos doing movember? Will
ghostgoodboy Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 yeah it's not exactly the best job among all out there for me to grind. I don't think I've ever mentioned that I wasn't really given a choice to take a whole week off because it's how it is (Oh it's busiest time of the year, no vacation off whatsoever.) . I might be looking at a loss of 400$ per week and every week after that if I choose to go "screw you, I'm not working because I want to play" childish thing. Calling in sick for a week during Xmas is not only suspicious, but rather stupid in my case, unless with some fake documentation. Looking at this long term I potentially gonna lose way much more over the joy of a week. Sure my job isn't as high reward as yours but at least it's stable and hours are flexible. about gears, I think it's worth the investment unless you are only gonna snowboard for just that one year, but again If I had car myself it makes more sense for me to burn the dough.

Board, pants, jacket, goggles, pass, etc for something you're only going to use 4-5 months out of the year, maybe once a week? Fuck that shit. The other way to look at it is that the jacket is still useful in winter, while the specialized gear lasts for quite awhile unless you are either losing it, breaking it, gaining/losing enormous amounts of weight, or... getting it stolen.

sweetvids Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Yeah but snowboarding Jackets are not stylish at all for everyday use. They look bulky and cumbersome not to mention most of them hideous that will not match the rest of your ensemble. My main beef with Snowboarding/Skiing equipment is the limited uses within a year and all the other costs that come along with them. You buy the equipment say at the beginning of the season, and then you may be use it once a week at best, maybe twice during a week if you're really gungho on going up to the mountains, for a few months and then for the rest of the year it basically does nothing. Not to mention costs such as driving up and driving back. Maybe one of these days I'll give it a shot, but for now I'm going to stick with my lesser ghetto sports. Not to mention today I found out that through many months possibly years of leaning on my right leg, my left leg has now become considerably weaker and I now I have to work on fixing that muscle imbalance.

Not to mention costs such as driving up and driving back. If you are buying the equipment at the start of EVERY SEASON then yeah, I can see that being expensive. But seriously, most people will buy a board and use it for years. Ok, it still doesn't compare to buying a bicycle and using that like 300 days a year, but you can do this because you are at the very least bourgeoisie scum, as opposed to plebian scum.
Zieg Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Can't you just rent snowboarding gear? Cheers, Dirty Kid
sweetvids Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Get your shit together man. Renting sucks and no one would ever rent. It's like renting a tux. You spend a bunch of money for something that's not that great, and you get nothing out of it at the end. Renting snowboard gear is the same because you even if you rent the board, you still have to have the pants and jacket, and at that point if you already have 2 out of the 3 pieces of the outfit you might as well buy the 3rd piece.

nagai Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 I'm gonna watch JDS vs Cain instead of Pacquiao. We all know Pacquiao is gonna win, so drop $4000 on him and watch JDS vs Cain. By the time UFC is done, you just made money from boxing :D
