Should newbies buy pro gear?

alright, heres the deal, i was sitting in my car today, driving down the road listenin to some incubus when i came up with this conclussion. Alright i am a decent skier, i skiboarded for 3 years to, i pretty much suck in the park, i can do the regular 180s and 360s, with rail slides here and there, and I always seem to want to get the best equipment. Is there really a need for newbies to buy the best and latest equipment if they aren't using it to its full capability. For example, skis are a different story, because having top end skis can save u money in the long run, but for bindings and boots, does it really make a difference if u buy Look p12's, over the P9's, u know what i mean? will u ever use the p12's to it full din setting? and for boots like the 1080 boots, isnt there boots out there 50% cheaper that will work just as good for a skier who isnt hucking 50 foot tables.. i mean what should i do, should i just buy the best equipment, will it be worth it in the long run. Or, do I just buy intermediate equipment, save the money?? what do u guys think, im really curious

Why not have comfortable boots? even if you are just hucking 10 foot tables? It's always nice when your feet aren't hurting after a day of skiing. It's also nice to have a ski that performs good. When it comes to bindings, you don't need a binding with a DIN that goes up to 16, unless you really weigh that much, or if you have SALOMON bindings, haha. I have the Rossi Scratch 100 bindings and my DIN is set at 5 and I weigh 130 pounds. They release perfectly.

for the best way to use bindings,you should put your din in the middle of the range...s912,din 4 to 12,the best din is 8...u understand??promodel and 1080 boots are expensive because its a racing shell and a racing liner in the case of the promodel...

If you get good skis, you wouldn't be getting lines, then you'd have to change your screen name.
If it wasn't for date rape I'd get laid a lot less.

I agree, but most newbies dont know that a $100 dollar boot from Sportmart has reasonobly the same flex and will work out fine for them. Theres a lot of reasons, they want to feel good, they think the shit will help, they think they need to look good etc. Some ppl like to buy the best they can get. If you had the money and were choosing between an '02 corvette and a civic what would you choose, considering you're a hypothetical 16 yr old novice?
