Free Stickers!

I recently went on a web search to find out how I could get some cool stickers for my snowboard, truck, binders, etc. Basically I wanted to be able to rep the companies I like and use everyday, as well as put some cool stickers on my stuff. Most companies require you to send them a self addressed, unsealed envelope which they will then send you stickers back in. I sent out to 29 different companies and was hesitant at first whether or not I'd get much back. This was all done about a week ago, and today I got my first stickers! Oakley sent me 2 stickers, one decent sized and one smaller sticker. Once I get more stickers back I will post them so you can see just how many stickers you can get for free from companies. If you have any questions on how this process works contact me and I'll be more than happy to share!

Epic Sledding Fail!

Last month me and a group of friends went sledding up at Mt. Charleston/Lee Canyon. We brought an assortment of sledding toys with us, but the most intriguing was a mini snowboard. It was intended for use by kids and had a label on it stating "Do Not Exceed 100 pounds," needless to say, we exceeded that limit. After several fail attempts by myself and a few other friends to stand and ride the board, we hit success (and by success I mean failure...) The following video shows our friend Aaron Combs aka Combsy, going off a jump with the mini snowboard. He said he was trying to do a 360 off the jump, but that's hard to tell by the way he falls in the video. Enjoy the video! Please rate, comment, and like!
Don't forget to share it and mention it to your friends!

Storage Auctions

You may have seen the popular shows "Storage Wars" or "Auction Hunters" and if you're like me, they get you thinking. How often do these people actually make money? How much money can you make? How big is the risk? From how I see it, the types of storage units people bid on vary depending on the resources they have to resell items. Someone with a storefront can buy units with more furniture and bigger items. However, someone like myself with more experience on eBay and Craigslist would be better off buying units with smaller items. As far as the risk is concerned, I believe it depends on how big you're willing to bet. You can only see so much when you look into the storage unit. Many times the unit is filled with boxes or most of the contents are blocked by other items. More times than not, you're going to be bidding on a unit hoping there is something worth the money inside that you can't yet see.

Personally, I want to give this a try. It's probably a good idea to start small and get a feel for how the auctions work. Who knows, maybe I'll buy a unit for cheap and end up finding something worth a lot! That's another aspect of the auctions which draws people in, the mystery. Some people actually do this as a hobby for the excitement. I plan on attending some auctions in the near future and seeing if I can't find some valuable items to resell and make a sizable profit! I will keep my blog updated with my successes or failures (hopefully the former).
