    Can someone please post a picture of....

    hey guys!

    I'm still trying to piece together the mental picture of how this whole package should look on me before I try it on, so bear with me.

    Can anyone post a picture from the knees down for me? I need to see exactly how the laces tie, exaclty how the popcorn hose looks and where the sgain dubhs goes.

    Thanks guys!

    ps. you'll probably get lots of dumb questions and reqeusts from me coming up, so again, bear with me.

    Thanks!

    skeen do.
    as for the laces, I have seen a .mpg video someplace, but here is what I have found so far.. Begin by twining the laces together (as opposed to tying an overhand knot) or wrapping them together for two or three turns. Pass the ends behind the leg above the ankle and back to the front where they are tied off in a standard lace bow.
    look on here for the best pic I could find

    I can't brag. Some one posted it here a few weeks ago, and I saved it to a favorites list so i wouldn't loose it.
