    "Inglês?" has become my most used phrase at this point. Heh. I have "Alo" app on my Apple Watch, which will translate my speech and actually speak the translation, but it can be slow because the 3G is slow as crap here. Should have bought a translation book, even a really basic one. But at the same time, my boss told me everyone here speaks English. That's why I didn't prepare at all. But they definitely do not. Oh well. Most of the other places on my list will. (South Africa, Australia, Sweden, Germany, Amsterdam, London are all on my list) Even in places like Germany people will usually speak some English. The ones I said no to were Pakistan, China, Japan and Mexico.

    Yup. I'm okay if I have one of the guys I'm teaching with me who can translate but I'm screwed if I'm alone. I feel like a child or somebody who is mute because everything waiters say to me I have to look at him, he repeats in English, and I just nod yes or no. Oh well, only here until Friday.

    My only worry is my big toe on my right foot has a bump on it. I have to wear a silicone sleeve on it with my Reactors or it's horrible. No issue in my Makos though. He said they'd build the last around it so it shouldn't be an issue. Can't wait.

    Boss told me everyone in Brazil speaks English and sent me here for a week. Boy was he ever wrong. The guys here said almost nobody does unless they work in tourism (hotel, airport, some cabs, and some restaurants). I feel so helpless...

    Nobody was making it into a show it off thread. It was a relevant reply to a relevant question.

    Well, this is my mask. You tell me ;)

    Nothing special. White accents, embroidered #29. Bauer cowling, step steel.

    Order placed :D

    You can buy them online from almost anywhere that sells Brians (Total Hockey or GoalieMonkey both have them). They're fantastic. Being elastic they just stretch as much as they need to. Some have had issues with the velcro coming undone, but I have not. Attachment to the pad is cake, just uses the same cord that gets used in most of the rest of the pad. I'm sure you could use skate lace too if you wanted.

    If you hate toe ties, change to the Brians toe straps :D Sounds like you're loving the new pads!

    Sure, but I mean theres a lot of room for error in just simple things like at what angle you have your pen at when tracing, etc. At what point does the heat moldability start to compensate for some imperfect measuring? Within 1/8"? Obviously the more accurate the better.
  12. IPv6Freely
    I wonder just HOW accurate the tracings really need to be.

    I just got an email back from them: "Two liners - our tan clarino is our most popular. It is antimicrobial, and very durable. The black wicking liner is great if you play barefoot or sweat a ton." I think I'll probably go with the clarino, just because that seems to be what works for them and their customers. Since I don't care either way, I'll just go with their recommendation. They also said the comfort edge and lundqvist loops are both standard, and they CAN make a maltese gel tongue though it will be quite thick. I'll just go with the stock one and change it if I want/need to (yay easily changeable tongues!)

    I'm debating whether I want the tan clarino or black wicking liner... Can anyone who has VH skates provide recommendations? I'm also thinking of the stiffer tongue. Since its a goalie skate it's really just an anti-lacebite consideration more than an actual flex thing.

    Not a great night. Lost 2-1 in the last minute in the first league game of the season. Unfortunately there's no footage of the first goal against due to the GoPro falling down. Basically it was a rising shot that went off my shoulder and right to a guy who had a pretty wide open net. Pretty crap to lose in the last minute like this...

    My low-end Reactor goalie skates are starting to break down, and have actually started digging into the area where the eyelets are on my right skate. Wife gave me the green light to buy something nicer because "it appears you might actually stick with the goalie thing". Apparently she had doubts... lol. So, time to take tracings for VH.

    Much better pickup session this week. I wasn't super busy really, but that's thanks to the D-men actually trying this week. I don't know what the issue was the last 2-3 weeks but it's usually not that bad. Last night I had a lot more help. I made some pretty bad mistakes, but I've been trying to work on my mobility a little bit. Unfortunately these guys rarely take shots and typically go for backdoor passes, which makes it difficult to work on a proper butterfly. At least I wasn't getting lit up like last week, and it's definitely something to build on.

    Damn dude that's a nice haul

    Beauty!! Enjoy those! Still using the same gloves? Or did you get a set to match?
  21. IPv6Freely
    VH just posted this to their Twitter. Drool.

    I didn't want to post this because it was SO bad. It has never been this bad before, even when I was starting out. A couple times just simply not being able to get my glove on a loose puck directly resulted in goals. I WAS trying to focus more on being square to the puck, not to the shooter, and also I worked a lot on T-Pushes (still can't do it right) when the play wasn't in our end. I wasn't even tired after this because I barely made any saves. 90% of the video is goals being scored. RIP awesome Warrior stick.

    Both pairs of jock shorts sold to Thinkingjack. Tons of socks left. Should I bother listing practice jerseys? I can't imagine they'd be very likely to sell.
  24. IPv6Freely
    Ah, cool. I did that one in my old Jetta at one point a few years back. Had to walk a couple miles in a snowstorm to pick them up from the parts store though :(

    The toe cap would look fine if the side material went down further like on a normal skate.
