I really want a new flat peak, yet choosing one is proving to be difficult. When I was in Berlin at my sister's, the New Era Flagship Store was there, and contained about 1000 different hats. However they were a bit on the pricey side so I didn't get one. All the other shops there had new era's in as well, yet I still didn't buy one, as I couldn't find one which made shout such exclaimations of "Mannnn that's so sick", or "This hat is fucking dope". I'm still trying very very hard to find a NKE 6.0 flat peak, which would be sooooo sick if I managed to find one. It's quite sad to say I'd buy it regardless of the price, and possibily even if the design wasn't all that good. But such is the world at the moment that we are bred as brand whores. If I see a rider, wearing a nice t-shirt, even if it isn't especially good, I'll automatically want it... I'm not sure what it is, perhaps it's the feeling of wearing something that a pro has? And perhaps that people might recognise the t-shirt from a vid they've seen on pinkbike? It might also be to boost my ego, and I might have purely bought so people will see it, then in their heads think of the pro they have seen it in, and think to themselves "Wowzers, that boy over there in that sick t-shirt sure must be a mountainbiker, sure must be good, and sure must be cool."
However, that sort of scenario only ever happens in my head... Perhaps it should have even stayed there?
I realise I've said 'perhaps' too many times throughout this post. I have also realised that I went off on a bit of a tangent. Oh well, such is life!
