Skated on the VHs with the Carbon/Kevlar Razor Bladz Wednesday night. As expected they were extremely stiff. Boots felt great even though they were a half size bigger than I would like, but still managed to get a good heel lock. Similar stance to the Mako and felt like the boot is cut slightly higher. The holders are stiff and unforgiving, but they were fast. It also helped I cut them at 90/50. So yesterday I took off the Razor Bladz and mounted the Mission Magnesium chassis from my Makos and skated inline on them last night. Felt very quick on my feet. You notice a few different things about a boot when you use them for ice and inline since you change your stride a bit. For me it came in the stiffness of the tendon guard, which I noticed more playing inline. Overall, great boots, lightweight, impressive build quality, and a high degree of thermo-formability.
