HockeySavants

this is what I will be have done soon :) I blacked out the skate and went from blue to red, they are extremely comfortable and no longer using them on the ice just made sense to convert them to inline

much much much better!

Here's part of our instrument set. Yes they are Pro Stock lol j/k

I feel ya, I won a One95 for dirt cheap (guy mispelled the listing) and offered free shipping. He went on to sell 4 other items all + feedback but left me in the dark and I eventually got my money back, but he was just sore that it sold for so low I guess. Would have been nice.

More like 7-11 over you're getting pulled over. At least that is my brother's 'rule', although if you straight up admit you were speeding and have not had a ticket in the last 2 years you may get off with a warning. But in TN anything over 15 is 'reckless driving' and results in a free car ride in a cop car, which in IL would not be the case. Then again I live in Jonesborough, TN, where they are paid to keep it boring here. Think Rambo "First Blood" then you get the idea. It is a common courtesy not to give family members of police officers tickets however, and about 95% respect that unwritten rule, however I've been pulled over in my car (Acura RSX Type S) by the same cop who knows my brother very well at least twice a year. It is often for "we heard of your car matching a suspect" or "where are you driving to this time of night?" He knows I work the night shift.

Playing some Arcade Fire Covers over the weekend with family, watching Steve Austin Stun a few guys and the Rock laying the smack down is always good congrats! always a good feeling!

I would leave them as is, trust me they will always look much better, if anything I'd be colour matching fabric marker and redo the blue.

looking to move any of those gloves?

I don't speed, my car is already a cop magnet (Acura RSX Type S) but limit here is 65-70, and the premium fuel requirement isn't helping. But a broken timing chain sucks, there goes my NHL playoff tickets.

if I feet decently in every other brand of gloves, should I just option the standard over narrow?

dumb question but when Warrior offers Narrow and Standard gloves, is that regarding the gusset size? I just don't want to buy the wrong ones

no kidding, I went from one stick to 7, one pair of gloves to 6, 1 helmet to 3, one guitar to 3, 10 pucks to 90 ya collecting is terrible. And you can never have enough hockey tape

I went to Ace Hardware for some Friction Tape, Epoxy Glue, and a Coke ahhhh ya!

I just bought Bauer OneUp Chassis and will mount them on my Nike Bauer Supreme Selects. I love those skates and will serve as great inlines as I no longer use them on the ice. Will post pics once they are finished!

They are Nike Bauer XVIs, my first Bauer gloves and blacked them out recently, they have been very good gloves to me.

Yep, I put those behind a glass case for now. I don't think I'll take them out unless a good trade or game required them out again lol. I love those gloves, didn't think I'd ever get Eagles (hard to find that is) and the Rangers colours are awesome to boot. I'm still in search of some Warrior Franchises however.

Finally decided to show all my gloves, skates, sticks. No goalie gear is shown but this is what I have collected in the past year so far.

I hate hearing "My brackets"

thanks for the clarification, my retail XVIs seem to have a different feel by the fingers. I think my next gloves will be Warrior Franchies

thanks for the research on that, that was a minor detail. I still love these gloves

they aren't retail ;) It has been quite a process! I apologize if those goes out of topic First thing was taking them out of the box, and they smelled like roadkill and a half. Materials used: metal bowl, barbasol shaving creme, sponge (soft side), dish soap (50/50 mix with water), shop towels, fabric drying sheets, golf clubs/broom stick/poles. Simply repeat the steps for each glove, it also works best if you wear the glove being cleaned in order to apply pressure to the dirty areas 1. I got hot water running through each glove and you should see the dirt in the water. 2. with glove soaked in water, spray dish soap mix on inside and outside of glove, scrub evenly with soft side of sponge 3. rinse glove in hot water and use sponge to scrub off excess dirt, the glove should still run very dirty 4. rinse in cold water and then apply the shaving creme all over the palms and glove if you prefer, scrub entirely and apply pressure to palm, this should help in getting rid of any dirt from the palms and exteriour and make them look next to new. Barbasol is used as a carpet cleaner alternative and works great with all hockey equipment (refrain from using on leather gloves) 5. rinse again in hot water and use the sponge to wipe off all the creme and leftover soap to start the rinse process of the glove(s). 6. rinse the gloves in hot and cold water until the water no longer looks soiled and put glove with fingers facing up to let excess water rinse in a bowl or clean surface (spare sink?), you should pull out the cloth inside the glove as that will quickly soak up water running down the glove. After a few mins squeeze the cuff and finger to drain excess water. 7. using the shop towels (paper towels are too fragile), wipe off the exteriour of the glove and while wearing the glove, squeeze onto the towel balled up to soak up excess water. 8. put the gloves to dry on the handle of the golf club, broom stick, pole or whatever you have so that they will drain over night. check back after 30 min to an hour and drain the cuff of excess water and continue to let it drain. get some sleep or play call of duty 9. wake up the next day or after 5-6 hours set the gloves outside to dry in the sun, or if your work has an xlerator hand dryer you can likely dry them completely. 10. The glove should smell a lot less foul, but if the gloves still smell against your satisfaction, we shall begin the deodorizing process: 11. using two fabric dryer sheets, place one inside the glove and one on the outside, this works great and left overnight should remove excess odor, however this may not get the job done entirely if the glove still smells on the finger tips or cuff where they often penetrate the deepest. 12. I placed the gloves in a box with the dryer sheets lying on its side with an air purifier working to suck out any further bad smells. it was as airtight as it could be and let it work for 5-6 hours. to top things off I sprayed the gloves with bacteria killing odor spray, you can find these in a shoe store or sporting goods store. 13. After 3 days of cleaning they gloves are finally bad scent free and smell delicious. again sorry to go off topic but I know many people who buy pro stock or used gloves are often stuck with this situation.

I believe so, I like short cuff gloves and these are currently in the finishing process of cleaning/desensitizing. They smelled like road kill. I love the fit of my Vapor XVIs and these with have a more comfortable feel.
