Traditionally, the day after Thanksgiving is known as 'Black Friday' around these parts. It is, for lack of a better description, the official start to the X-mas Shopping Season, and lots of stores up open super early in anticipation for onslaughts of consumerism. You won't be seeing myself or Cody getting up at 5 am to line up outside of Target, but we did manage to line up a pretty cool Black Friday Gear Guide, which features some nifty soft goods from the likes of Animal Bikes, L-R-G and more. So, if you've gotta start your holiday shopping this weekend but don't have a clue of what to buy, check out our gear guide for some helpful tips.
