    It's harder than you'd think. It took me months to find a job last year.

    If you can find a job not at a resturant GO FOR IT! resturants suck!

    What size boots? I bet there are a few of us around here that could spare a set. Bindings too.

    I've got an older pair of high end Solly bindings (I can't remember the number on them). The only catch is that they were demo bindings and I don't have the plate that they came on, so there are no brakes. You'll have to pay for shipping.

    looks like the boot/binding thing is no longer a problem.

    Red face

    Sh$@$ F@#ck!! I can't believe it, since my baby was born two weeks ago I haven't been able to afford a brand new pair of Pocket Rockets mounted with Freerides, the La Sportiva Mythos, or the Blue Water Dominator rope that I've wanted. Shit! I guess there's no point to my post really just venting. Oh well shit happens I guess.

    All the people that offered gear have got a big thanks in a PM but if you want me to say it public i will.....That was not the intent of this post at all, i wasnt looking for anything free. But its cool i guess if you wanna sit and talk shit about me i could care less....But any ways, Thanks a lot to everyone that offered up anything.

    The kid was quite grateful in the PM he sent me. I offered up the boots because last year a certain EBAY seller who had a lot of bad press here lately completely screwed up my order and sent me 2 pairs of boots and never charged my credit card. When I called them to do the honnorable thing, the guy was a complete ass to me, so I said f-it your loss my gain. I had some good Karma come my way so I figured why spread it a bit.

    ATTENTION MAGGOTS! It sounds like Powderhound16 is no longer in need of boots, he is in desperate need of a tampon!
