I've been for a bike fitting the other day and we've calculated that my leg length discrepancy is about 1.14 cm. (.45") Does that mean that I should try to put a .45 shim in there? It all makes sense now of why I'm always having such an easier time crossing over to one side compared to the other!

Hello everyone! So I'm looking for advice, I recently wanted to give a shot at being an assistant coach for my now ex-team (quite competitive, players aged 18 - 25), I was a 4th line player on that group last year due to mostly lack of skill. The coach there is solid hockey-wise, and I believe we share the same mindset when it comes to player development and team projection, so I offered him to help out, and I'm going to have a one-shot opportunity to take part in a couple of practices as an assistant. Personally, I'm a pretty receptive guy that likes to read people, and playing with this group for a year lead me to get to know the players pretty well. I also like to know group/team dynamics etc.. Usually, I like to take my time to observe and give feedback here and there (1-1 confidence boost and I'm still thinking about other stuff I can do to contribute). I was planning on taking some sports psychology moocs but the timeframe is rather short. Basically, I would like to have a bit of advice on how to not ruin this opportunity considering that I have limited hockey knowledge (I picked up the sport later in life and rarely was part of an organized team). What is usually expected of an assistant coach in minor leagues? How can I change my perception from the player that I was last year to a different status this year? More generally, what would be your advice for me to make the most of this opportunity? Thanks a lot!

On my team, I find that CCM skates just don't hold up as well in their top-of-the-line products. Nothing scientific, but I'm not surprised by what you're saying at all. Moving forward, I'd try to stick with what worked for you

I can be your EU distributor! Definitely looking forward purchase one One question: what's the min height of a given runner blade? remark: using radius and hollow interchangeably is confusing, I had a brief hope that I would be able to adjust my blade radius which is obviously not the intention.

I remember there was a star cam a few years ago, it usually picked the major players, I loved it actually. Eventually, I think refs will have vr cameras, so you'll be able to look wherever you like

In those kind of games, you just want to go home, so you did the right thing

Third one is fun, but the two firsts are a really nice resource

No matter what you do, unless you redesign the wheels completely, you'll never get the edges like ice skating. Marsblades allow a rocker and some toe kick (from what I've seen).

It's impossible to tell how it is better from this statement. Could you expand on what are the weaknesses of the sprungs tackled by Marsblades or features that Marsblade has that offer better performance?

issues such as outsole separation are critical issues, it means that the skates aren't that safe and sound in their structure. To be honest, I've been one of the most enthusiastic about the mako as I'm a mlx user. However even though mlx's have issues of their own, the skates are very very durable as far as boot construction goes. And that's why I'm disappointed to see such weaknesses in a skate where apparently they are trying to make things right.

you shouldn't have a problem

Quite unacceptable considering the price you pay for the skates

Hey Alan, no this was meant for Hockeylife20, but I have seen a couple of mako skates on the bay and on craigslist, they are definitely worth it so I'm wishing you good luck there :)

Do you own a pair of makos?

yeah, I know that's a bit of a pain though, I could drill the inline chassis to a sheet of aluminium and drill holes at the same location as the ice holders are, quite a bit of weight added though :S

hey guys I'm planning on doing a conversion soon, but instead of using rivets, I'll use t-nuts. The idea behind it is to use the same holes (screws and t-nuts) for both the inline chassis and the ice holders, does any of you know how I could achieve that goal?

I would have loved if they could have kept that orange line though, an all black look with an orange line throughout the skate would def have looked awesome imo

Jesus Christ this is a thing of beauty...unbelievable! Well done!

if I were you, the least I'd do is take my feet measurements in cm/mm and send that off to an online lhs such as totalhockey or hm

Cool, learned something new today, I was just wondering if that wasn't a clue for the holder attachment issue

it's just weird to see carbon fiber that is silver like that...

it looks like fiberglass on the heel is it?

aren't T blades super expensive in the long run because of the replacement steel? I was interested last year because it's hard to get a good sharpener in my area, but the prices of replacements made me stick to a regular setup

Interesting link but I wonder what kind of radius and pitch they took in order to make the measurements, plus the tendon guard doesn't come into place only when going forward, sometimes when you're turning, you need that extra flexibility to increase the distance between front and back legs in order to have a better balance. range of motion is a very important aspect in skating, as you're not always going in circle. Personally I hate having something pushing on my calf when skating.

weight is such an overrated aspect compared to the fit, comfort, mobility and protection.
