Ok, thanks for the heads up! I may be getting in during the employee period, but if not ill be going in for the STH day Thursday. Last year I went for the STH day and there were a bunch of skates left. I almost grabbed a pair of mcginn x60s.

I have a question for JR or anyone else that may know. I'm going to try to get skates at the upcoming sharks sale. Since most pro skates are built in the factory, do they have a marking that shows the width inside them? Where can I locate this marking?

I just got my warranty replacements from easton. One Mako and one M5. I'm quite pleased! And the Sharks trainer got me a Torrey Mitchell pro se16 with a little message from Torrey on it. It's been a good day!
-
My se16 didn't have the sticker either. The easton warranty person said that it shouldn't be a problem, so I just sent it in with a receipt. I haven't been told that there was a problem, and I think they already shipped out the replacements.

At the sharks practices I've gone to they leave stuff everywhere or give it away. Sometimes on their way to their cars they'll even throw a stick in the dumpster out back. I don't think stealing would be the right word at all.

Height/Weight: 6'1/175
Age:17
Level: Gold Bantam, Playing up in Midgets, D4 Mens
Overview: This is my first wheel review, so bear with me! I skate around 4 times a week, including a practice with a lot of hard skating. I am not the best skater for my level, I mostly rely on my stickahndling and shot more than speed and agility. I have skated on Labeda Millenniums in both soft and x-soft and am Skating them on Mission T8 boots with a Magnesium Hi-Lo chassis and BSB Swiss bearings
Fit: I thought I should include this, since it seems to be a problem to me with Milleniums. The bearing doesnt sit flush in the hub of them, which causes rubbing on the chassis during hard turns. These wheels don't have this problem, and fit around the bearing perfectly.
Aesthetics: I love the look personally. Some people think they are flashy, and I understand that. The Black and white wheels are somewhat flashy. I had black/whites, but am now on the LE yellow/whites. They are much less flashy and match my skates, which adds to the aesthetics for me. 10/10
Grip: Just what I expect on a high end wheel. Some people cannot, but I can tell a huge difference between wheels. These have a flex to them, and you can feel it during a really hard cutting turn. I lose my grip and slide out very rarely compared to skating on the Millenniums. They also slide out when I want them to, allowing me to get sideways for a hard stop, while still gripping when engaging hard pressure again. Definitely a great aspect of the wheel. 10/10
Durability: Awesome. I havent skated on Addictions, but at this point, I don't really want to. These wheels last 3 months without even showing many large cracks or splits. I get the same amount of wear in a month if im lucky with soft millenniums. With the grip they provide its surprising how long they last. After they start to wear, though, they do lose grip somewhat quickly. 10/10
Overall: Amazing wheels! I feel that they justify the price, though that may depend on the persons budget. Definitely a noticeable jump in performance and durability from Millenniums. Awesome looking wheel, awesome performance, awesome durability. 10/10

Does your duffle bag have any internal pockets, such as skate pockets?
Is it your only bag?

Justin, I was reading through the old Graf Canada thread and saw you post abput replacing the man's skates with missions. Your sir, just gained a lot of my respect!
I had a question pertaining to ca9 skates: does hockey xsport in Oakland carry them? A friend of mine told me he was looking for skates, and I immediately recommended them. Hopefully they carry them so that he can try them on.
Thanks Justin!

Had glass seats to the sharks game right behind the net. Awesome game too, Miller played awesome. I wish they would have put one in I'm front of me, but it was still fun to say the least.

That awesome feeling of scoring the game winner in the championship game. Its even better when there's a few seconds left and its one of the prettiest goals you've ever had.

I forgot about this thread! Ive stopped listening to most rock, and I've started listening to more rap. I hate mainstream rap, I stick with people I find. My favorites right now are: Kinetics and One Love, Machine Gun Kelly, Mike Stud, Hendersin, and Grieves.
-
Those are butchered! I would take them back and show them to the manager or something. The pressure on your heels will probably bust it during a hard stop or something.

So if he's the president of the world... Would that make me part of his workplace? And in turn an idiot? I sure hope not :b

Went to the sharks game Saturday, and I'm going tonight! Hopefully they win this time!

Congrats!!!

Messed up my elbow pretty bad on Sunday while playing. Bruised really bad, and popping when I extend it. Hurts to the touch. I have a big week and weekend planned too. :-/

Im happy they arrived safe! Maybe the gloves from NY were just blank team gloves ordered before he arrived? They don't seem to be embroidered.
