Yep, spent too much money getting my teeth fixed this year, even though it was done in Thailand, still cost some money and I'm over the stitches and broken teeth thing. I came from the MX3s to the Jet Speeds and it's the best thing I've done skate wise. Last time I was in a CCM was 1982, been a die hard Bauer guy except for 99-2000 when I wore Mission Flyweights. The Jetspeeds have the best heel lock I have ever experienced. The MX3s are a great skate but were a little too stiff. No matter what I do I can't get the heel to lift in the Jet Speeds. Only thing I'd like to see them add would be an MX3 type lacing system, other than that, they are fantastic. I think CCM is back skate wise.
