I wouldn't say all the Gear.
A Kona, Brand-X armour.
The TLD was the nicest bit of kit.

Brand X, must have seen the wrong thing
yeah but that kona is 1800, which is quite a lot for some shitty presenter, on a shitty show.

Well its just across the river for me and headin up there this weekend for a session. I think the DH rig would of held him back a little, HSD is more suited to a shorter travel rig. Should of chucked him down the mighty super tavi, that would open his eyes Big Grin
