    What size holder, 306?

    I used the stock footbeds for around 20 games, they are moulded to your foot but having flat feet I was getting blisters in my arch. Usually use superfeet but tried grafs, I like them way better than stock. My old superfeet looked too thin when I got them inside the boot, I could see the red liner on both sides.

    Barkov stick for sale if a clone is needed. https://sidelineswap.com/gear/hockey/sticks/313914-true-aleksander-barkov-pro-stock-stick

    Do you have a list of all the patterns base has? Including the pro versions. There is alot missing from the website.

    I could see it helping for tighter turns with balancing and being able to lean in more. When it comes to straight forward skate, I would think more energy can be generated from a fixed skate and a toe flick then a marsblades digging it, clicking, then releasing trying to assist.

    It was years ago and I think they were regulars. I would say nexus is a good boot if your are going the Bauer route. My friend has the same issue and got 9k skates years ago. We both did a bunch of research and think nexus would be the way to go but haven' tried them on in store so I could tell you for sure.

    I had the same thing as you. Wore my old 705s but having flat wide feet, they were killing me so I did some research. I went into Reebok/CCM (even just an E width) and they felt way better. So I would say you would be safe going with CCM. Later I had custom wide MLX (early VH), and those are the most comfortable skates I've ever had. For 7 years. Now I'm in VH this year, they feel the same but just stiffer. You can't go wrong with VH/True if you have no budget.

    It will be stiffer obviously, but they are still comfortable. The other thing you have to think about is longevity, they will last way longer if you get the enhanced protection. I took a shot off my inner ankle 2 weeks ago, the hardest I've ever had. Looks like it was a really bad contusion (just waiting for the results) but I am pretty sure I would of broke or fractured it if I didn't have the protection.

    Its the same length and rocker, the curve is more of a x28 with more toe, no heel kink and a taller blade at the first section. I like it way better than a bc27.
  12. BureKovy
    Flip12, I think you were the only person that requested that. They have this in a 5 and 5.5 already I believe.
  13. BureKovy
    Now that Stephen has chimed in on the thread, maybe we start a base curve request 2.0 thread poll with the type of curve people are looking for. I.e. Toe curve, open face, Toe curve, slightly open Mid curve, natural face Etc. The rocker and the lie should be agreed upon before production.
  14. BureKovy
    I find it hard to sauce passes with the kovalev, it opens up early and has a heel kink. I like the barkov, but I feel it would be better with a toe kink on the end. It would make it really playable all around but give you the benefits of the toe curve.
  15. BureKovy
    Still using the bc28? Doesn't look like we are getting much traction on new curves here.
  16. BureKovy
    This is what I am using at the moment and its my favorite set up. True 6.0 tapered shaft, base b28 sharkskin blade. Using an 85 flex but thinking I should try a 95 also.
  17. BureKovy
    Depending on the lie, face and the rocker this could be a really good curve. Something that anyone could use, need more pics from the top and side though.
  18. BureKovy
    Is there a list of all the curves base offers, I feel like everything isn't listed on the website.
  19. BureKovy
    Has anyone tried Tuuk and VH/Step holder on the same boot for comparison? I'm coming from (MLX with Tuuk) to (VH with VH/Step holder Stepsteel and sidewall protection) so its hard to get a feel for the difference in the holder.
  20. BureKovy
    Are there any new curves being discussed?

    Up in Canada I can't see them selling it for $699 for customs with step steel. The top of the line skates (bauer line, CCM) all go for $999 plus another ~$100 if you wanted to go custom. $699 vs. $1099, they could gain a big market share but just under cutting a bit but thats 2/3rds the cost. I do see that happening if you wanted stock boots with standard holder and steel. Correct me if I am wrong about the numbers, anything could happen really though.
  23. BureKovy
    exactly what I was going to say
  24. BureKovy
    Anyone try different tongues? Do they just have the two types? I have the standard felt one but it is really thick I find and not very flexible.
  25. BureKovy
    Does anyone have an Afanasenkov?
