Christmas List

Not a bad idea, I haven’t used that stuff since I use to skateboard and went through shoes like crazy.

 

Naw...better to extend the life of your knees with new shoes....??

 

The entire padded running shoe concept is BS - - a marketing scheme, brilliant as usual, from the Beaverton folks. Nike cooked it up in order to sell us all the 'technology' in running shoes, at massive markups / profits for themselves.

If you have the time, a trmendous read is 'Born to Run' - - part of the book addresses this topic, and eviscerates Nike for what they have created.

There was another guy, Aussie sports med doc named Richards, who demolished the running shoe myths. That was more than 10 yrs ago.

People believe what the marketing sugar buzz feeds them, though.

 

wtf is 'running'

 

don't move to the PNW, you won't get off your derriere from October to May

 

Man I used to wear adrenalines (I had the 15s and 16s) but the new revision is to on-road for me. I got a pair of 18's and ripped the toe off running on some trails.

Lucky my shoe store replaced them no questions asked. I went with the brooks cascadia and they are awesome. They have a rock plate in the sole so you can step on some gnarly shi* and not even feel it.

Either way. The only running shoes I buy are brooks.

 

Right on. Makes sense. I almost exclusively run on pavement so they work perfect for me. I wouldn't mind running trails but don't know of many around here that are close by.

 

These we're on my Christmas list; picked them 2 weeks ago from Tim Nolte in OBX, the green rail is a custom and blue trim a clone off the rack, 10 foot old guy's LB's. Mitchell had done a great job repairing the dings & delam the last few years on my other Tim Nolte 10 footer but it was time for new boards. Yank & both like the 10's ......................

 

That seafoam green is gorgeous!

 

Those are sweetness & functional art, G-Footer - - merry christmas from thee to thee, eh?!?!

 

Launch the aircraft carriers!

In recognition of your 10' beauties, G-Footer, re-posting my 10' Ruddy Tail Shovel Drifter - - couldn't even get the entire boart in the pic

 

Rather than going crazy with the $$ this year my girl and I are buying new knives for the kitchen. Thinking about something like this:

 

That's gotta be, what, $1k set of knives?

 

Do you weigh 4000 lbs?? Those could float that much weight!!
Nice, but wayyyyyyy to big for little ol' me!!
But it is nice to see the craftsmanship. Nice post!!

 

My advice to you is.....stay OUT of the kitchen.....

 

Nooo they aren't that awesome haha. Going to be about $550 with the block and everything.

 

And don't piss your wife off with those knives laying around.

 

Oh yeah she will go samurai on my ass LOL

 

Oh yeah they are mostly for her. I'll use em for prepping meat and seafood for the grill.

Don't worry. Man stuff only.
