Nice. One more year for me hopefully!

Can you take a pic of his curve? I've never seen it before.

My moms mad at me... The day always sucks for the family when the womans mad.

Hey Justin, can you comment on the fit of the skates?
-
The diablo doesn't have the x-stitch pattern on the blade. That cannot be a true diablo because it does. It may have the diablo taper, but not the same carbon construction.
-
It's already been said that the taper of the RS is different from the previous stealths. Krev has a prototype I believe, and this one looks exactly the same as his. My vote is real RS.

Extremely sorry to hear that man, hopefully things get better soon.

Sniped an OT winner today top left just inside the post in between the defenders legs on a 1 on 1. Scoring a game winner is such great feeling!

Two pairs of franchises! Whos stick?
-
Those gloves are soooo sick! Love that colorway!
-
How would digital rank? I have always used it but may switch to mustang when I get my gloves repalmed.

They got over 800 inches up here... There's still snow on the side of the roads, and I think they're only gonna open up a couple runs up towards the top of the mountain. The north facing stuff has barely melted.

We got a ton of snow this year, so squaw valley is open until memorial day and is planning on opening up the weekend of the 4th of July! And golf season opened this week. I forgot to add, I also got a totalone today. It's a VERY good weekend!
Edit: double post.... Stupid iPhone...

Played hockey this morning, heading up to tahoe to play some golf and ski, then headed back down to play in my game Saturday. Life is good.

I'm pretty sure they're ducks gloves.
-
Wow! Beauties!!
-
Check out the XD series of kmc. Atx would look pretty good, they're very durable too.
-
What kind of truck are they going on? They look like they belong on a lowered escalade or something... Kmc XD wheels are what you should look at, or atx wheels.
-
They are retail, my lhs had a few pairs
-
My lhs carries lots of those. Feel like a mix of ppfis and franchises, but leather. Look nice though!

Getting my wisdom teeth pulled...

Roller playoffs are today!

I have one if you wanna send me a pm. I think we already talked about it though. Like I said though, shoot me a pm if you want it Brian.

Easton S19 Grip
Flex: 85 uncut
Curve: Heatley
Height:6'
Weight:170
Position: RW or Center
Time Frame: around 20 games, playing 3 times a week
Recent Sticks: Bauer x60, Bauer one95, Warrior dolo DD (dragon)
Intro: I've only played ice twice with this stick, so this review is based on roller hockey on ice court. I loved my x60, but wanted to go back to a mid curve, which my lhs didn't have in stock. I saw the s19, like the way it felt, and sad "why not?". Ive loved the kick of it since day one.
Looks: I think that Easton always does a good job with graphics, and this stick is not exception. I love the white highlights on this stick, and it isn't too flashy. Great design and very clean looking. 10/10
Weight: Lightweight stick, although not as light as my x60. Im not a weight whore, I actually don't like overly light sticks, like the CCM Cl.The one thing that does matter to me, is balance. This stick has great balance, without feeling fragile or shaft heavy. Again, no complaints 10/10
Blade Feel: This is where the stick is humbled. Although it isnt as bad as the s17, it is'nt anything worthwhile. It felt softer than my x60, but still fairly pingy. Although, the blade accepts passes fairly easily but still has alot of "pop" on shots. It seems to shoot true and this makes up for the bad feel for me. I tape my blade to the mid-heel, and it hasn't shown much wear. It has not started to chip yet, even though ive heard some complaints about the blade breaking. Overall, I think it deserves 8/10
Shaft: It seems to be true to flex, but has gotten slightly whippier as it has broken in. Not great change in flex, just minor. Its probably closer to an 80 now. The shaft shape is great, and feels very comfortable in my gloves. 9.5/10 because of the slight change in flex
Shooting: It kicks very hard on all shots. The mid-low kickpoint is great for all shots for me. I can really lean into my shots and feel the shaft kick. The release is quick, and my goalie has told me that my shots have gotten faster, especially my snapper. I take alot of shots, being the sniper I am,
and it has helped me gain confidence in my shot. Definitley the best aspect of the stick, so 10/10Passing/Stickhandling: As I said, the blade is very "poppy", but accepts passes fairly easily. Definitley better for accepting passes then my x60. On the giving end, passes come off the blade very true and easily. As all roller players, I like to stickhandle and do my fair share of moves. The balance and lightness of this stick helps, along with the lively feel of the blade. Again, gotta be a 10/10
Durability: No chipping on the blade yet, which I am happy about. As I said, I tape my stick to the mid heel, exposing a bit of the blade to the rink. I expected to have more wear on the blade then I do by now. Not in any means a bad thing! The chrome graphics on the shaft died fairly quickly, the parts of the letters on the corners of the shaft wore off fairly qhickly and the whole letters are starting to peel away. No structural damage, but don't expect the graphics to last long. 9/10
Conclusion: I would definitley buy another one, It is practically everything that I could ask for in a stick. The sticker shock is a very large obstacle, but Easton made a stick that is deserving of that price. Easton did not dissapoint with this stick! Overall: 9.75

Bad night for me. More family drama, and all after needing to attend two days of a convention which seemed to suck the life out of me. One more day tomorrow too. Ive been exhausted and in a terrible mood ever since Thursday too to top it all off.
