    Before I Do Something Stupid...

    So yeah just ordered kuros and jesters. and have volkl bridges with z12 ti.


    I am so bored waiting for the snow to come, I'm thinking about using some of the credit I've built up and making a rash purchase.

    Options;

    bluehouse districts 187. has gotten good reviews and will be mounted with dukes eventually.

    buy dukes and mount them onto my bridges.


    buy trekkers and use them with my z12 ti.



    if I get the districts, I'll have to save up another month to buy some dukes.


    but yeah, the reason I bring this up is because the bluehouse sale ends today, yeah the district might not be the best ski in the world, but for the value it could be a great ski for touring. fairly light. nice flex.


    anyway, yeah normally i'd be out of my mind to buy another set of twigs, but im bored and well.....uh oh, here comes the creditors.

    Ok-no trekkers.

    then: dukes and mount onto bridges. or districts and wait it out for dukes as well.


    btw. I don't want to sell my bridges. They serve a good purpose. My family lives back east, so I'll travel back there with them. Plus they'll see plenty of shitty days, especially early in the season with a mixture of machine snow at the co resorts. and if all that fails. i'll just use em when i fuck around in the park or on some homade stuff around boulder.

    the reason these have sparked my interest is because of theyre price, and several reviewers on here who have mounted them with dukes.

    Yeah, but now we're going to have to endure another 50 threads about backcountry setups. Not really rippin on you volklpowder, but one would think you'd have figured it out by now. Do you really need us for every decision?

    Oh, and yes. Dukes rock, trekkers blow.

    this is not reallya decision persay. this is more of how would you blow your cash if these were ur options. i know which bc binding i would go with obviously, dukes, the only reason this is even up for decision is because of the rediculous price of the districts, which coincedentally at least three people have mounted with dukes and posted reviews on here.



    oh btw. crunked right now.

    Crunk (-ed): a phenomenon experienced through the consumption of copious amounts of both alcohol and marijuana. (However, through its movement into mainstream slangery has also been defined as; chronic drunk, and also generally as really fucked up in one way or another).


    also, I'm not sure why all you guys are ripping on us youngsters, trash us all you want for the plethora of repetitive threads we post daily, but not for our age. In fact, in a few years, or maybe currently, you'll be feeling the aches and pains of old age while we will be skiing circles around you , so while I'm all for the respect for my elders / superiors I wouldn't mind the reciprocation of that notion.

    EDIT: I should probably get off my moms computer though, my bed time was hours ago . . . .
