Finally got them all in one pic. Used the Mission L7 in the last season, managed to squeeze a few goals in. Will probably be using the Eraser Pros and the Mission Boss gloves for the next season.

Clams on grill with hockey buds... NICE! Beer ran out, ok not so nice... but at least you got there to chill out with them after.

Dupes, is that RBK's newest top line stick? I like the APX, how does the shaft feel compared to previous Vapor profiles?
-
Very nice.... love the Penguins as a backdrop. Nothing better than skates that fit. I've spent the last 6 years going thru numerous skates just to get something that is comfortable.

Walked into the LHS here (second time in 2 years) and started browsing through the gear. The two sales guys there were obviously more interested in each other, as they were discussing the times they were going to be on ice in the next day. Didnt get a hello or goodbye or even a hint that I existed. MSH is my LHS

Custom Skates / Ice to Inline Conversion
fatwabbit replied to cougarscaptain87's topic in Roller Hockey Equipment
I think as long as they are a composite outsole, they should hold up well. I had a pair of Graf 670 that I converted myself. It had a plastic outsole, and with the sprungs I had mounted it always felt like it was coming loose. -
So what have we got? Skates, gloves and sticks? Or are we going to be expecting some other protective gear as well?

These days its so much easier with cordless phones. Just plain lazy.

Looks good no matter what. Its the small things (in your case larger projects) that you do around the house that make it your HOME. I've been living in a rental property (actually the 4th one) in the past 6 years. Being posted overseas you dont really buy your own place. Ive been reluctant to even hang pictures and paintings up because we move every year or two. The one thing about moving around though, is that you find out what works and what doesnt. We know that with just the three of us, we cannot afford to have a big house... no $$$ wise, but the effort to keep it clean, especially with a 7 year old who has filthy friends. A small townhouse, 3 bedrooms, a small study and a garage to store my gear is perfect. A small area to either put a basketball hoop or shoot some pucks would be perfect.

Being a Mission guy for over a decade, and then started messing around after Justin left. Now that he's back, I'm pretty sure my next purchase will be with Alkali... Any chance you guys will NOT be having export restrictions?

Been really hyped up about Nationals, which is basically a State Wars setup with all the different states being represented. Got selected to play in early June, and from what I know we had a really strong squad. State coordinator sends me a message yesterday that we now only have 4 players and no goalie for my age group.

Depends where you are my friend... only a few of them here.

BJB, which part of Oz? I should have asked you to bring some gear for me!

Family came over from hometown to visit, total of 2 Aunts, an Uncle and cousin. Took them to a theme park yesterday along with wife and son. Most of the time I cant do the bigger rides as my son is too young, and wife is too scared. Spent the day just doing the rides etc. Cousin and I got to do the Batman ride, just catapults you about 8 or 9 storeys up in 1-2 secs. Good thing we didnt eat lunch yet. Then we did the Lethal Weapon... basically legs dangling down, full 360 loops and lots of cockscrew turns... and then it was to the moto-show. NOrmally they have a bunch of guys doing stunt driving, but because it was the school holidays they had a full range of stuff, from motorcross guys doing 360 flips and superman seatgrabs, to monster trucks just going over heaps of stuff... To top of the good day, we finally got back at about 7pm... and then everyone went into cooking mode. One aunt was cutting food, uncle on one stove, cousin working the other stove, one aunt washing up, while I was outside on the BBQ grill. Within 30min it was a full on dinner already served at the table. Great stuff when you have an uncle who used to be in the Navy as the ship's chef, so it was basically everything we could find in the fridge into the pot for dinner. Never had pineapple-pumpkin-roastlamb-rice before, but man it was good.

Yup, it was teh Perron thread... plus he had some facial expressions added in

played the semi final game on Tuesday night. I dedided to take the faceoffs for the team this game, and although lost the first drop, I won a total of 7 out of 9. Switched it up a few times... backhand to point, forehand to net and even had a shot on goal right from the faceoff... it did crack my beloved X60 though, but its still pretty solid (hope it lasts). We won the game comfortably 5-0, and we played a really decent team game. Lots of passing from all players.

Why not try fixitbymail or go with peaches? both are reknown for quality...

Played a drop in last night, and was the oldest guy there. Although I couldnt keep up with 15 and 21 year olds, I was able to still deke past some of them. It was the first time on my new Mission T8 with sprungs (self mounted) and shit they felt great... didnt even get them baked and they felt good. Must be something to do with the oh-so-thick tongue. After almost a year of just working with the most difficult dealer we have in Asia Pacific, I'm finally getting some recognition. With my contacts at our manufacturing facility, we managed to sell close to 13 products when the customers were only looking for 2-3. Although I didnt exactly follow the process, selling 13 instead of 2-3 is a good thing. To top it off, my boss has agreed to have me visit the US with our rep and customer. Fingers crossed I can make it to Summerjam...

Decided to take a family photo.

Best of luck pals... may you have faith to keep you strong.

The prototypes actually look pretty good... hope they fit me.

Lost our final game of the season tonight... 6-5 final score with me ALMOST tieing it in the last 2 sec. Got the puck with my back to the goal while skating from left to right and knowing the goalie will shuffle to my right. Tried to just throw it on net to the left side, only clipping his pad ever so slightly... and trickling away from the goal... Completed the hat-trick with a backhander that went top shelf. I've missed the same chances in the last three games, and this time before the game started I practiced a few backhanders which helped me get my form back...

Who knows... this could be Sprungster's opportunity to mass market the chassis on some really good boots. I'm tired of doing my own conversions...
-
Stay strong guys... you're in my prayers. Just found out that my ex boss has got 3 heart stents put in... as much as I hated the guy, I have to really feel sorry for him.

Funny how everyone just jumps in without actually seeing the stick in person. At the end of the day it does its job...
