Bindings (2010.2.21 01:20)

When I went snowboarding the other day, I used my new bindings, and while I was running around with that tea water on the day before we entered Niigata,


I finally got UNION.

The shop clerk at the shop that I used at first,

when I asked,

"I'm looking for some bindings by Noah's Ark?"

he said, 'We've got UNION or FLUX~'

I don't know how much stuff I tried out, but they didn't have any of the colors I'd hoped for, so at first, I took out some black UNION ones.

'Those bindings are light~ (long explaination) I really recommend these.'

The shop clerk gave these bindings huge praise, but the color was really bothering me,

so I said, "Let me think about it for a while."

And I left the shop behind for a while.

So, the number of snowboard shops in the tea water area, there were so many, I was all but surrounded by them. (^^;) I didn't have much time, so I ran. (^_^)

I searched everywhere, all into the day, until I was out of breath, but all the good colors of UNION and FLUX were sold out. (^^;) And to make matters worse, even the BURTON that I normally like, wasn't stocked in my size,

I pressed on as stores started closing, so reluctantly, I headed back to that first store... (^^;)

"Yeah~ I've been to all the stores in the area, but every single one is sold out..." I said frankly to the sales clerk, and then

'They're very popular. Even at our store, they sell out almost as soon as we get them. (^_^) '
'It's the end of the season, so we really don't have any...'

In these hard times... Even the things I can buy are all sold out... (T_T)

"Well, let me have those ones from earlier, really black's not such a bad color. (^^;) " and so when I reluctantly bought the original UNION ones,

the clerk kindly gave me some encouragement, 'Black can go with anything, so you can change your board and still use these.'

When I got home, I put them right on, and forgot about the color in seconds. (^_^)

Man~ That was a model clerk. I'm buying from that store next time. (^_^)

Clothes, check. Bindings, check. I've got to put these things to use. (^^;) The news said the winter sports crowds are thinning out, so...

Everyone, if there's something you want, you should go out a buy it, quick. After it's sold out, it'll be too late. (^_^)

Well then well then, have a nice day off~

P.S. Just for a little while, we rented... a parking lot. (^_^)

This probably goes beyond impertinence... (big ^^; )

But, we investigated the parking lots in the neighborhood, and there are just so many telephone wires. There was only the one that was free of them... (^^;)

Be afraid, Tokyo...

That which is rented... May be purchased... (^_^)

Dead-tired... But Mellow... (2010.2.18 20:06)

just a little too much sliding. (^^;)

Last week, I didn't sleep that much, with all that training, and I wanted to take a snowboarding day trip with my next free day, and there was an event in Niigata that weekend,

thus I went snowboarding... (^^;)

Well I'm paying for my mistakes now, and of course with the surging waves of manual labor, I am completely exhausted. (major ^^;)

But

If I could be revived by all the chocolate I got from everyone (^_^) Cardboard boxes... It's scary, I can't even count all the chocolates. (^_^)

Borrowing this space, "Thank you" for the food nosebleed. (^_^)

So, the presents from Hell the other day (^_^) got a trial run right away.

My impressions...

Absurdly easy gliding. It changed into a feeling like, What? You can really glide like this?

To be frank, I've never ridden on a board like this. (^_^) From this season on, this is going to be my main board. (^_^)

With this, I'm really going to get into snowbarding. (^_^)

Man~ I've been going snowboarding a lot lately, I'm gonna need a 4WD.

This is my favorite era. (bwahahah)

I'm the type to instantly jump into action whenever I get an idea, so if I had a 4 wheel drive, I'd be headed off to the snowy mountains at the drop of a hat. (^_^)

Yeah, that's really the only reason. (^_^)

Has everyone ridden in an off-road vehicle or an SUV? This is of a completely personal nature, but if you have any advice, please give it. (^_^)

Well then well then, we've got training tomorrow, so I'll be laid up for a while. (big ^^;)

Everyone, it's been absurdly cold lately, so be careful of colds.


[ well, i'm moved in, and i've got a few days off work, but i've got a friend staying with me for the week, so we'll see if i can't squeeze some translating time in. i hope~ ]
