Pay check came in. I can finish paying for my snowboard now. I'm very excited.

 

I'm off to voyage around Chicago to see if any shops have some cold-condition base wax and repair, some waxing tools as well as some tuning tools (files, file guide, gummy/diamond stone, etcetc.) We'll see how that goes.

 

I have this strange urge to get a skull and cross swords tattoo. but that's just the pirate in me.

 

 

 

 

I've noticed my Karma went up recently - Please tell me who you are when +k ing my profile so I can generously return the favor. I'm ecstatic that I'm recieving karma, though. It really makes me feel good knowing I've helped somebody, whether it be just a smile or some actual advice.

All right, it's decided!

 

Looks like I'll be rockin' the '06 Atomic Polarity this year.

 

 

Just put my down-payment on the board. Now I just have to finish up paying for it when the paychecks come in, and I'll be good to go. Now I just need to find a goooood deal on bindings and boots, and I'm set to go. (Except for picking up some new gear. I just realized my pants and jacket are a good, er, 5 years old ... and I still fit in to them. It's pretty pathetic.)

 

 

 

 

Does anyone else thinks Roxy's new 06/07 winter line is completely hideous?

Yes, yes, and double yes!

 

I've decided that now that I have a stable job and are actually making a nice amount of money, I'm going to treat myself to a new snowboard this year (Especially since I'll be turning 18 this season, so it'll be like a new step). I've been asking opinions from everyone on what board would be best for me, including making a very helpful thread in the Snowboard section, and I've come down to these three choices:

 

- Atomic Polarity

- Gnu Barrett Christy Pro

- Ride Kashmir

 

 

To be honest, my heart is really with the Atomic Polarity, especially since I can get a bangin' deal for it on Ebay. That, and it looks like such a fierce board. I'll really be able to tear up the mountain with it.

 

 

and OHhhh I'm so excited!! :D

 

I messaged some of the girls on the Atomic team (Vera and Molly) to get their input on it, and Vera already messaged me back. :) She's so kick ass, I love her haha. Told me that the Polarity IS truly a kick ass board, and that it should be exactly what I need.

 

So I think I have my mind on a board. I'll use my Troop for experimenting in the park and what not.

 

 

Hm hm hm this summer is coming along nicely :)
