Jacket question, maybe OT...

Justin A. · November 8, 2010

So I just picked up a new jacket for the year. I love it - it's bright blue plaid, so it's loud and fits my personality.

The problem is that my best bud got the same one, he's wondering if he should bring his back so we don't match. What does Bomber think?

kieran · November 8, 2010

yes. but take photos first, before anyone can blackmail you.

michael.a · November 8, 2010

ive seen people with matching pants riding before but matching jackets would look wierd

Justin A. · November 8, 2010

I think that if he does come to his senses and decides to keep it we'll just tell people that we went to the same camp or something lol

I really don't see what the big deal is, but whatever

Slap a bomber sticker on the backs and everyone will think your alpine carving (not OT) team members

"not that there's anything wrong with that!"

You could wear it and go speeding through a beginner area, then cover it up and pass on the blame? ;)

I like this idea quite a bit.

He's leaning on the side of returning it and getting something else.

Some of the guys that I ride with have the same outfit. But they all also shop at the same shop. it doesn't bug them. :biggthump

It would be like going to work. or to the store and seeing anther person wearing the same shirt. or pants.

Just my two cents.

Or, you two must have great taste?

Indeed.

Anyhow, I think you should just ride together and then try to also walk around stepping at the same time, and both do a really good revenge of the nerds laugh together and generally act a bit goofy.

Snowboarding is supposed to be fun, not some sort of fashion runway show.

With different pants hats, gloves etc, I am willing to guess unless you have similar bodies, then people won't even think the jackets are exactly the same. So that's why you need the schtick.

If you really want to look different, then perhaps a gimmick would help. Like one of you could have a pet parrot on your shoulder, then you would be like 'that's the guy with the blue jacket without the parrot, you want to talk to the guy WITH the parrot'.

Of course if you really wanted to look different to even bird watchers, then one of you could have Kea and the other a Kaka, in which case you'd really look very different, as those are two completely different species! (cue revenge of the nerd laugh)

It would also help to prolong the health of the parrot, given that non tropical parrots would be more likely to live a long period in the alpine conditions of a ski slope.

this is the sort of thing that needs to be done in Oppdal. no more pining.

Keas are a large, alpine parrot in New Zealand. They are cheeky, clever and potentially very destructive. They love ripping out the rubber from car wiper blades and window seals.

This YouTube vid is just an example of their mischief!

We've got this part covered! :lol::lol:

We're not so much "Revenge of the Nerds" as we are "Big Bang Theory"...it can get pretty bad too hahaha

If anyone says anything, tell them you are Team Such-and-such and the jackets match for intimidation purposes. Or pose as private instructors and it will cost $10 per question from now on. Time is money.

Just say you're part of Team 32.

He's pining for the fjords!!

LMAO, kea love! I saw how much sugar he dumped in that coffee - that's the last thing you need - a kea on a sugar high!

PaulK and I have some great pics from Treble Cone last year ... someone had left a snowboard wrapped in bubble wrap strapped to the top of his car, and the keas were having a field day.

Oh noes! I'm doing it wrong!

Aisling · November 17, 2010

damn jack you beat me to the fjords!

i thought only chicks were worried about wearing the same outfit? ;)

Michelle · November 17, 2010

Oh noes! I'm doing it wrong!

Ah jeez me too. Obviously because everyone knows I am the fashion queen of Bomber.

pest212 · December 10, 2010

Well, I wouldn't mind my friend wearing the same jacket as mine after all, what could you have done if it was some stranger?? It's no big deal and in fact, I think it'll be some fun and maybe you can play some pranks with your friends!! In fact, you'll look like twins and if you're really close that is something special!!

BlueB · December 10, 2010

Other day I had my orange soft shell and Scooby forgot his jacket and had to tide in his fleece. Can you guess, it was orange too! We were both on big alpine boards, so the questions were inevitable: "Are you guys brothers?", etc.

"Yes brothers from different mothers, but team Orange!" :D

mykcuz · December 10, 2010

are you the top or the bottom?

It would be great if you walked around with him playing copy cat.
