Had a buddy make me some stickers.

Big month for me. @JR Boucicaut fitted me for custom Bauer Nexus V-Cuts at SJ and they came in about 3 weeks ago. I've been working through the break in process and the fit is unreal. I never realized how loose the fit was in my old skates. Kinda hurst like hell getting there because they are so much tighter then I was used too but well worth it. I already feel performance benefits. Details: Custom Nexus V-Cuts. Stock Nexus lining (wanted the new 1x grip-tec but couldn't get it). built in comfort edge (can't really see it), memory foams in ankles and heel pocket. Using LS2 steel and Edge holder. When I was baking them I also popped for these.... figured what the heck... If that wasn't enough decided to upgrade buckets and bought a back and white Re-Axt combo. (yup... marred and melted the bucket taking off the sticker... oh well....) No need to take pics of the white one..... Like I said... big month.... fun!!!

So jealous of those Mega Air's, I wanted a pair so bad when I was younger but only came as close as getting a pair of the Bauer Air 60's (I think they were 60's, def not the top end one). So I worked out a deal with the league I play in to shoot photos of some games and occasionally bring my camera on the bench to take photos between shifts if we're winning by a lot (and/or have 3 lines to give me enough of a break). Last game we were up 6-1 late in the third so I set my camera up and asked a teammate to shoot some photos of my line (since I'm never in any photos), he did a pretty good job: October 24, 2017-7236-J.

Found this pic of me circa 1993-94. God, I loved those Mega Air 90 skates, they were awesome. My two-tone Cooper SK2000 and mullet went together quite nicely too, I must say :)
