 Poster: A snowHead

What's everyone looking to get this winter? yesterday I went to see what's new in the shops. Loads of new salomons this year but I'm not really into them, nor burton except maybe the jeremy jones or dominant slick, neither of which are in the shop near me 
These are the boards they do have that interest me.
Atomic axum seems bendy and great fun, plus the last 2 seasons I tested them and they rocked. Only thing that puts me off is it's a bit too cheap.
the new nitro MFM (I got last years one, love it) is the one I'll probably get but I fancy a change, something real flexy. The thing I love about this board is the slightly off cut nose and tail, for me that really makes a difference when things start going pear shaped.
The nitro misfit feels good in the shop, a bit more flexy than the MFM
Decisions decisions decisions, was easier last month when I didn't care about winter coming and there were no new boards in the shop.
Getting half excited now about the coming winter, check out Mack Dawg's We're people too DVD to feel at least as half excited as I am, insane dvd.

A number of reasons.
I don't know what that is.
It's in France, a country I don't particularly want to go to.
I'm just about the only idiot still working his summer season job.
I don't have a passport.

 to be honest it's not my idea of fun. I just pray no one in my family dies soon because I can't go to the funeral.

stab, silly question, why don't you get a new passport? it doesn't take long. 
p.s Our local shop really rated the Atomics regardless of the price. Don't know anything about Nitro but they look hot... but looks aint everything

stab, you can get out of GVA on more or less any kind of valid ID. Getting back in might be an issue, mind.

yeah I've never come back in without a check, my car is swiss so there's a good chance I'd be ok but don't want to chance it.

Well I have a brand new Rome Blue with some new flows. Gone for 155 which is longer than my Palmer. It was a surprise present from 10 month old Mouth Junior this month for b/day.
Am going to keep my Palmer for rocky days and bad slope conditions. Hoping to christen the Rome in December. Boy am I excited about this board!!
