With approval of the physical therapist, I got back to the ice today for about a half hour and took a few shots. Felt surprisingly good for not having skated in 4 months, though my stamina is absolute pants.

Oh yeah my laces are one size up so that I can undo my skates easily without taking them out of the eyelets. When I tie them, I tuck the excess between my shinpads and hockey socks.

Who brought their kid to play net in a mens league game? That goalie is barely taller than the crossbar!

I'm waiting on the Pure X. I have 2 sets of the Pure +1 wheels. I probably should have gotten the +0 being only 165lbs, but I usually go for a 76a which provides a little more speed. I consider myself an advance skater so I didn't think it would be a big deal, but the +1 don't feel as grippy as I would like. The first 2-3 were like a break-in period with very little grip, after that I got comfortable with them but I think still think I should have gone with the +0. I'll probably split it up with the pure x. 2 +0's and 2+1.

No, those instructions are for skate ovens which are different than household ovens. But whatever....

Ya I'm a sucker and I coughed up $15 to check this out. Will let yall know how well, or not-well, it works. BTW I've always been a fan of Bladetape and my kid doesn't mind it either but his coach wants everyone to use tape instead...

^^ oh yeah, lots of back checking pressure from 39 Blue. !! Next time, show us in real speed,!!

Pures are fantastic but they have a slight flaw and the blue wheel addresses that. Where I’m from in Australia is extremely humid and humidity turns them brown and reduced their life span and compromises the core. With that said they’re still by far the best performing wheel I’ve used in years. I can’t wait to get the Pure X just for the increased grip and speed, if they last longer even better!

My wife and I have been trying to start our family for 5 years now with no success. We had/needed the help of science (IVF) and we are now expecting! We are due in March and I cannot wait to meet my little girl.
