Having two friends on VGK makes it easier for me.

Have a few friends in the Acadie-Bathurst Titan org and they just won their first Memorial Cup on Sunday. No doubt they're still all hungover Not my video but what a thrill it must be.

Still trying to dial in starting points. Inexperienced or fairly new skaters might be better off starting out on a longer single radius for the stability factor. Unless someone has been skating for some time and or playing at a high level going straight to a Quad might not be wise. But do you start with a combo or go straight to a triple with those players? I recently profiled a couple of sets of steel using the Quad 1 template. Coming from Pro Skate Balance's 35/65 I felt that the Quad 1 had more blade and noticed it when making sharp turns. After an adjustment period of a couple of skates I've come to like the Quad 1. However, my runners are 254's so I don't think I could go Quad 2 and actually wonder if the Quad 0.5 might be the sweet spot for me. I haven't come across the 0.5 template so far so I'm staying with the 1 for now.
