    Yeah, if it's including entrance fees, event fees, I'm well over $500 for '08.
    In fact I'll probably be there anyway, I budget well and always have money to put towards leisure. And that usually means skating

    My goal is to spend ZERO dollars on skateboarding this year.

    I said it's my goal. I didn't say it's my reality.

    Weather just started clearing up a month ago and I've already dropped about $200, and I can see buying another deck or 3 this year...

    I am looking to rebuild/relayer my ramp and add pool coping. Otherwise if you just look at products, I am probably in the area of 100-200, maybe not even that much.
    My comments represent a selfishly one sided 1970's skateboarder mindset, and do not reflect the current fashion-skate-lifestyle industry's views.

    I'm over $500... only because that's what it costs to build boards though.

    I guess my leathers will put me up there too.

    All i need is a Vanguard complete and some wheels, then i should be good. I included the expected random stoke that leads to a shopping spree.

    I will probably fall into the 101 - 250 group for just products (1-3 decks + a pair of shoes, maybe other small stuff) in the next year but if you count park fees and stuff it would probably bump me in to the 250 - 500 range.

    Well, it's March. That's the end of the first quarter.

    So far in 2008 I have spent . . . ZERO.

    Will that change? Probably not. I got more now than I can ride and happy with everything in the quiver.

    Now, if TRAVEL TO RACES is included then all that might change in the coming weeks and months.
    Just because you can take a naked picture of yourself doesn't necessarily mean you should.

    I only plan to spend about 200$ but I plan to get a 3dm board, all setup and everything, and also an original path37 with the mammoth trucks. I've got friends in high places, which is why it's so cheap total.
