can someone please tell me why UK shops only stock wack snowboard gear (pants jackets) and not the decent stuff from the US?
why dont they stock "Holdem" style pants...baggy is dead man....and what about day glo stuff thats comin in (not the all in ones) - i want some bright pink/blue/yellow pants, not crappy burton/4 square etc stuff that EVERYONE else wears?????
am i the only one thats wants this stuff??
if anyone knows of a "decent" shop in the UK that stocks this stuff please let me know!!!!! im sick of shoping at the same cr@p shops that sell the same cr@p stuff and all think they are doing something different...when actually they are not
in fact, i might open my own shop as im sick of this |

Most shops buy in and sell what is in demand (ie baggy, dull coloured stuff)...this is how shops work.
You've gotta remember that they're not making most of their money from core riders, its first timers and punters who go away 2/3 times a year that bring in the pennies...thats what makes up most of this industry.
You'll struggle to find tight 'holdem' (HOLDEN!!) fiting pants in this country coz it doesnt sell well to punters, though you might see it a bit more next season.
Analog have a tight jean material pant called the 'lithium' next year and also another fitted pant called the 'byrne'...these will be selling in a few corer shops like sputnik and boardwise if you can wait around til then.
Alternativly just order from the states and stop moaning  |

as matt said, supplying for the masses, most shops run on a tight enough budget and the spray on look isn't for everyone..and probably not the look for most people..so don't sell...no shop wants gear left until the next seasons range comes out
although we're all individuals we can be a little sheep like with our outwear...but function over fashion will usually get my vote...and i look a complete knob in tight gear!!!! |

Wow get out of bed thew wrong side today?
As for baggy being dead...have you seen what kids look like in tight pants?????? 90% of people will NEVER want to wear them...its a niche market always will be....and it'l be gone in a season when guys like you realise how uncomfortable it is to ride in pants that you cant bend in.
Just chill dude its not that important |

Oh and does it really make sense to moan that no one stocks this gear you want and then complain that you don't want to look like everyone else? If they did all stock it and it was that great then everyone would be wearing it, surely you should be glad no one stocks it so you can wear it and look different?
Think it through slowly....... |
