Lucky Day NEW NEW BIKE RACK

I was seemingly just browsing craigslist a couple of days ago and found a new bike rack that fits a small niche of cars that was mine exactly. It was a Nissan Xterra 2000-2004 interior bike rack that fit my 2004 Xterra exactly and works like a dream. I was getting tired of having to work about my bikes when i go to eat after biking and i was still concerned about my bike moving or getting damaged as i put it on my bike rack. There was no security on my bikes as i left it on my car and i felt the bikes were really hampering my trunk and seemed like it would damage the trunk sooner or later. So i decided i would just look at Craigslist for the heck of it and lo and behold i came across a gem in which a dude was selling exactly what i was looking at for a price that seemed to be a scam. He was selling it for only 25 dollars and it seemed a little too good to be true but i ended up just going. What the heck why not? It ended up being a pleasant interaction and the dude sold it to me for only $20 and i was excited to use my rack. I haven't been able to use my interior bike rack since the cold weather and the rain that's been coming through but i hope i can get to use it sometime soon. Here is a picture of the rack and an example.

NEW SNOWBOARD RACK

I looked online for some time now and finally found a snowboard rack that i would like that would fit great for my car. I found the Yakima Big Powderhound online for a very decent price from a seller on eBay and ended up having to piece together a couple of the other accessories/attachments. All in all i think i spent around 70 dollars for everything from just the rack, the mounts, and the locks. This rack was built to hold up to 4 snowboard and 6 pair of skis and it seems like a great fit for me and my friends. This solves the problem of having to put the equipment inside and leaving no space for additional people. So now i can fully keep 5 people in my car while having my gear securely fastened to the roof of my car. Here's a picture of the snowboard rack itself:

The snowboard rack was actually in very good condition and worked flawlessly once i tried it on. They are available online with everything together for about $125 and is a great deal considering the time i spent peiceing my set together and it was an used snowboard rack for $40.

Another Addition to my Gear for the 2014 Winter Season

After last seasons snowboarding i felt i needed a little something to feel a bit safer after taking a pretty bad fall at the end of the season last year. I ended up getting a helmet this season and hope to put it to good use this year riding some blue terrain and maybe some park this year. I think i want to master being able to control myself and keeping high speeds up as i ride. I am way too safe and reserved as i snowboard when i feel sketchy about some things i just stop or try to stop and just fall and slide. I try not to take too much of a risk because you really do catch a lot of speed while boarding and sometimes it becomes unstable. I shopped around a great deal but ended up finding a great helmet for my season and it was a decent price. I decided to buy the RED HiFi helmet and the aesthetics so far seem great but i hope to take it out for the season. Well heres to my new addition and hope for a great season.

Snowboard Gear for the Season

I used most of this last season and it has been doing me well. I haven't had to replace anything and i haven't been dissatisfied at all from anything. This includes my whole set up and i got everything new at a very comparable price. Links to my boarding set up are below. I cant wait for the season to come up and i hope you guys could also get the chance to go out to a ski resort even for just one day and at least once in your life.
