I'm in hot water, please help me

**TAFKALVS** · 06-29-2018, 10:51 AM

The simple "I want to get in to Mountain Biking, can I buy a trail bike so I can go ride with my friends" has quickly become, "Uh, honey this sick DH bike just followed me home (It was a good deal!!) so know I need a full face helmet, bike park pass, knee pads, 5.10s etc."

Which as you can imagine was not met with much excitement from Mrs. LWS.

So I have some gear that I need to sell:

Skis:

190 Legend Factory (Aka Cham 117s.) Mounted once on the line for p18 at a 306 BSL. Skied them a little bit last season. Minty. $150 + ship
SOLD
Look HM12 (aka Radical FT 2.0) with 110mm brakes. Toured on 5 days, never used in the resort. $250 + ship

SOLD

Gunfag stuff:
Surefire XC1 compact weapon light. Bought it, never used it. New in box. $180 + ship
TLR-1 HL in FDE. Lightly used. $80 + ship

Can someone help me?

This one. It's not red but it's pretty fast.

I have a potential buyer for the X106, but he wants them flat. Anyone want some lightly used PX12 demo bindings? I'll do $50 + ship

It's the fucking same as skiing, guy. What did you expect? 😎

I never thought I'd participate in an activity that made skiing look affordable that is until I discovered mountain biking...

Do you guys ride more freeride type stuff? Or true DH type trails? I prefer freeride and jumping, over steep chunk true DH. Whereas in skiing I rarely ski park and prefer chunky off piste steeps. Total opposites for some reason.

Steep, technical, gnar with natural features all the way. I much prefer that over flow, and big man made jumps any day. I like to have to work at not putting a foot down. That is my kind of trail.

**CascadeLuke** · 06-29-2018, 12:49 PM

Skied this pair of X106 at big sky. Solid and very true ski..

I’d buy if didn’t have the overlap, bump. Congrats on the new addiction LVS!

She's pissed about a bike but wasn't about a $180 gun torch?

How's that pad working out?

Pad is awesome!

**skaredshtles** · 06-29-2018, 03:04 PM

I'll give you tree fiddy.

And to be clear: that's $3.50 for all of it.

I have the full face covered but some knee pads would sweet. shoot me a PM and let's discuss

**hutash** · 06-29-2018, 04:10 PM

Might I suggest selling the wife and keeping the gear.

In business terms we can that win/win.

**SumJongGuy** · 06-29-2018, 04:12 PM

Must be really bad if you're afraid to confront her without that kind of protective gear on..

**SumJongGuy** · 06-29-2018, 04:16 PM

Serious side, even with all that protective gear on it hurts WAY worse to fall off a mountain bike on to the rocky ground than it does to crash skiing down a snowy, slick trail..

The 3" x 12" bruise on my leg would agree.
