Hey @GregHenn19 looks like you tried to use photobucket. Don’t. It’s junk. Stick to imgur.com

Is there an actual point you’re trying to make? It just seems like we’re beating a dead horse here.

I’m not giving somebody business who messes up my skates. The Sparx does a great job so I’ll stick to that.

I have edge protechs but they aren’t permitted during games. I had been using them for pickups until I had my own sharpener ;) Yes but you keep posting about a manual sharpener being better. We get it. For those doing high volume they might want to try the commercial version. I understand that not everyone is going to be in the market for a Sparx and prefer to do it manually. That’s fine. But this thread is for questions and discussion about Sparx and not the merits of manual vs Sparx sharpening.

Okay, we get it. You think your sharpener is better. Let’s go ahead and leave this thread to discussion about the Sparx.

Definitely nothing to do with dialect.

For putting them on, I use a shoe horn. Taking them off I fully unlace 3 eyelets. I also warmed them up, stuck a softball in the opening and tossed them in the freezer. That opened them up just a bit.

Cool if your head shape happens to fit that helmet!

As a goalie, with the amount of damage I do from hitting the posts, I'm always interested/amused by how much noise it makes when it hits those spots!

Okay then.

Why the sour taste? What should they have done if you were concerned about the warranty?

Let’s go ahead and get this thread back on track.

No I wasn’t talking to you.

As are all things in this hockey world!

Really good skaters will notice. Many won't.

That dude is really good at reading marketing material.

Truth. I used to have to pull to get my skates tight. Now my laces are pretty much just snug enough that there's no slack. That's correct. You can't get Tuuks from True so they leave off the heel cup.

Gotcha. Just a word I’ve heard a million times but had no idea what it meant. Thanks.

Can you explain WTF “varsity” means?

I’ll stick with the Sparx, thanks!

Sort of but not really. Making tweaks just to score a higher rating without being any safer doesn’t mean much.

That’s the issue though; they aren’t making them objectively better. They are making them to score high on the tests. As I’ve said before: getting a concussion doesn’t make a helmet bad, and not getting a concussion doesn’t make a helmet good.

Cruises are definitely not for me, for the reasons you mentioned. I don’t like being around people for too long, and I can only tolerate about 6 hours of Las Vegas so the whole casinos/shows/etc thing doesn’t do it for me.

You’d think getting around an airport with a luggage cart would be much easier than it is. I guess people having luggage at an airport is unusual?

Great unis
