Picked up a new Jones solution 169w and skins half price in end of season sales last week.
Had been planning to spend most of summer trying to stick the edges down one side of my old one back in, but can relegate it to rock hopper and hang out on the beach now. |
Where did you get such a great deal for a new Solution?

@Richard_Sideways, yeah I did have a look but not many sizes. I think my jacket is last seasons anyway.

I bought some Sidas shin pads but they didn't arrive before we left in a hurry last week.

Nz. Summer here. Quite a bit of overstock out there I think with Ozzie’s getting cancelled at short notice.
Picked my daughter up a nitro split and skins half price too.

Ordered some Northwave Decade boots to replace my old ones. Perhaps not exciting as they are just a newer version of the same model, but the old ones fit me so well and are low enough profile that I don't drag toes with size 10 feet on a nornal/narrow width board.

Those are 'Gateway' service items... you'll convince yourself that you can get by with just a couple of grades of file next ...

I came across a nice Burton Hometown Hero the other day.

Volcom Rain Gore Tex bib in Canada for £250 which is cheaper than the UK.
Also most likely going to buy a Hometown Hero this week. Just trying to decide between 156W v 160W but having difficulty. Once I’ve decided most likely will be getting some Burton Cartel X bindings to go with it.

Picked up a bargain new Korua Dart 160 on a certain auction site. Exactly what I desired (not needed). Now I'm ' Yearning for Turning'.
Earlier in the year a bargain used pair of Dynastar Mythics to which I added ATK Crests. A very light touring set up.

Wooooooop. New board day. Went for a Solomon Dancehaul……granted tested for limited time in fridge - but was really fun. Current quiver is a Jones Mountain Twin - got to admit, this seems sooooooooo much more fun.

Not that exciting but I had bought a Osprey Bigkit duffel (75l) bag and had the chance to try it out on our last trip. I thought it might be just another overpriced/overhyped brand given the prices they go for (I got mine at less than half price from the Osprey website). But having used it, I was pleasantly surprised by its build quality and thought to detail. So much so I jumped at buying another (a second hand 22l rucksack - I'm not a leader in terms of adoption and not for me things at full price  ) and again was impressed. So they seem good bits of kit even for the money.

Union atlas bindings for a steal recently. They're to go on my mullair which I felt was let down by my old cartels.

i have managed to sell everything (3 boards + 3 pair bindings + one pair boots) and bought only one board and one pair of bindings
a Völkl Dimension extra wide and Gnu Freedom
I had also bought (really no idea) almost 10 pair of boots , nothing was really my number and everything i had to send it back.
I am thinking of Burton Ion , somewhere in September to buy but at present i really have no idea

had so many boards in your past and still bought an entry level board with extruded base from a manufacturer, that does not know how to make boards? Strange to say the least.

I got the new Burton Step in Bindings and boots last winter and as someone who boards mainly with skiers they were a revelation! Absolutely fantastic things.
Also just popped for a Lib Tech T.Rice Climax 2021 unsold stock (not surprising when original price was over £800). apparently it is an absolute monster so cant wait to try that!

Black Crows Camox Freebird, with Marker frame bindings.
We started to dabble in AT last year, during the lockdowns. Had a lot of fun. The plan now is to use these skis when the resort gets too crowded or the lifts are on windhold. We went with frame bindings because AT will be a side hustle for the foreseeable future, so we did not want to buy boots with Dynafit inserts.

Phantom slippers arrived this week. After getting hit for import tax and paying to get footbeds and fitting, they cost about 2 heli days. Ouch.
Got a quick tour in this morning and an afternoon of lift laps. Coming from a tm2 Jones boot. Massive difference uphill in terms of speed and comfort. Side hilling much nicer and I would think using with crampons will be a lot better too.
Downhill took a bit of learning and tweaking but no complaints. Not as stiff as I thought they would be. Kept forgetting to put them back in ride mode which didn’t help a couple of times.
Happy so far and looking forward to putting them to use as we head into spring. Really enjoyed giving my riding mates poo-poo about having to wait for them to strap in as well
