I meant hold an edge as in when I am cornering, but the steel also seems to stay sharper longer as well.

I've been using Velocity by Step steel since around Christmas in my One90's. I love it. I find that there is noticeably less friction as compared to OEM steel which leads to better glide. It also seem to hold an edge better when turning. I like how the steel is taller as it means it will last me longer and also the profile of the steel is a little taller in the heel like Graf steel. It makes for a little more blade on the ice. Overall, I have been very pleased with the steel. It's got bling factor too, if you are into that sort of thing.

It doesn't have the link there anymore. There is a phone number to call. I'll give them a call and see what they want for one. Thanks.

I searched the website thoroughly twice and found no prices. Maybe I'm blind, but can you tell me where the prices are listed?

Does anyone know what MSRP is on the 52SE? When will it be available?

Well the XXV is blue I think so it should be possible. Check with an ID dealer to be sure. I don't know if the ID program includes the XXXX's yet anyway. Does anyone know whether the embossing on the blade serves a practical purpose or is it just for aesthetics?

I dont' know, but I was pretty choked that he wasn't in the lineup. I was really looking forward to seeing him.

My seats are in the same section blues. I missed the ball on that one too. Oh well. The seats are still pretty good, right?

I just bought tickets to see the Canada Russia Super Series final game in Vancouver. David's name is on the roster. I look forward to seeing him in live action against world class competition. I didn't get a chance to attend any Lewiston games at the Memorial Cup.

I'm on the far right kneeling down in the team photo.

Better than XXXXs? I suppose you've used them in a game/practice situation? How can you label a pair of skates better than another without skating in one of the pair? "Seriously though, can I expect 06 ice skates to start droping in price soon? Id really like to convert a high end pair to inline." The prices at my store have already dropped. Went on sale today actually. All vapors, vectors, synergies. Basically all new skates. I haven't skated in the XXXX's and don't plan on it, but I own XXX's and have owned One90's for over 6 months and can say without a doubt that the one90 is a technologically superior skate and IMO a much better skate overall. I think that the XXXX's will definitely be an improvement over the XXX's for those who love the Vapor line. However, I thought I loved the Vapor XXX's until I skated in the One90's.

Hey A-K, Was Kovy wearing the 9K's tonight? I missed the first period. GO HABS GO!!!

I would still go with a 9 foot. I know alot guys with size 8-10 skates that use 11ft radius for the added stability and glide. I would always recommend that a person use a little longer radius rather than too short. That feeling of being tippy or back on your heels is terrible.

Hot damn those are nice! I see he uses the stock holder. Interesting. It sure would be nice if they brought some white skates to the retail level. They would sell like hot cakes.

Some crappy pics of me playing for 3 different teams. I'm wearing white in the first 3 pics and red along the boards in the last one. I should have some better ones pretty soon hopefully. Gotta find someone who can take decent pics. Hockey rinks are hard to shoot in.

I would say a toe curve with a rounded toe would be the best, but people pull 'em with square toed heel wedges too.

I'm a little concerned. Someone in a previous posts was saying something like Inno tapered blades are different than other companies tapered blade. Does that mean the tenons are different size? I have a Inno Roberts Pro Tapered blade. Will that fit in any tapered shaft? or only Inno tapered shafts? I wanted to put it into a synergy II shaft or a broken SL shaft. Will it fit snugly? Any help is appreciated
