RIP chico =(

not to mention the materials etc can be better at absorbing impact

https://instagram.com/p/2Bp0VOithd/ Stx Instagram acct seems to hint that stallion will be released 05/15

that's why I love my 100 comprehensive deductible.

looks like a ripoff of the freerunner tool talked about in the edge thread

Went to Total hockey today to get Inlines baked, Ive skates sharpened etc. sat down and looked to my right, Daniel Alfredsson was a few seats over. Didn't want to bother him because he was there with family, but i was pretty geeked

does anyone know If the standalone cages will launch along with the Fitlite helmets? Or is it only going to be available at first in the combo? 6/19 - Easton Stealth stick line CCM FitLite helmet/Ultra Tacks stick line

you should. Check out ice warehouse they always have the best deals on alkali ;)

According to the release day thread 4/15

they are amazing.

fairly well. When I worked in the same lab before (as a contractor), he was my bosses boss, lol. He has encouraged me to apply for a job before, but I received the offer on the one I currently have so I passed it up. the second interview is with my previous boss, and another guy I know very well who is parallel to him in position. I will be a lot less nervous for that one. They know my work ethic and abilities, its just embarrassing to make a mistake on a simple question like that.

over-analyzing interview questions. I have this thing, where every interview I have been on, I take a question and think they are looking for a deep answer when really its just a simple answer they want. This time it was particularly bad, as I got my brain muddied by my current position and some similar terminology. It was like being in quick sand, especially in front of someone I know and have worked under before, to not be able to answer the question properly was disheartening to me. Its like I think they want me to get up and good will hunting style fix a complex problem in front of them on the board, when really they just wanted a few simple answers. At least I have the second interview to try and break the streak.

Loctite and the like basically act as a soft of lock so that the bolts don't turn in the axles causing it to loosen over the course of a game.

well prepare to be pissed off at most manufacturers as shaft releases become more and more sparse. most retailers around me are still trying to clear out shafts from sticks 2-4 generations ago.

Nice! just got back on wheels after a 14 year absence myself, skating out of dumars?

I was thinking along the lines with Chippa on this one, and in all fairness, the stripe is on the opposite side of the ring finger! It's not that I was disagreeing with you, I just think if it were replication based on fooling people they would want to do it on the glove that fits similarly in their lineup

liking what i see of the new protective. Cant wait to get my hands on it in person. As mentioned, the new fitlite mask interests me highly, may look to buy two for my existing helmets upon release. would be kind of silly for them to make the 30k look like the APX considering the 30k is going to be their anatomical fit glove, vs the tacks being the tapered, but i see what your are saying.

I haven't really been impressed by a piece of Easton protective in a long time, but those look nice! might have to take a look. Congrats on the Shins!

seems from this thread there is so much drama in California hockey. I realize Hollywood is just down the road, but sheesh.

Saw that too, snapped a photo, he a user?

I don't think it's work, it's being a leafs fan

you should give that speech at lemonade stands. I don't think you're understanding the goal of this product. I don't think you're gonna buy one of these so that you can start your own sharpening shops, the product seems mostly geared at being a consumer in house product, busy family of 4 etc. There are definite ways it differs from skatepal that I can see from just looking at it/watching a short video on its operation. I think a huge advantage it has is that its fully enclosed, a busy family with perhaps some younger, inquisitive children would appreciate that. It also looks less bulky, more like it belongs in a living space, vs belonging in a garage. Im not a sharpener, but it seems a lot easier to deal with as well. If it were up to me, as a consumer, I would purchase the Sparx, given that they both work well and give good edges. All this said, I like having someone sharpen my skates, theres just something about plopping them on the counter that I actually think is an enjoyable experience. As old trainer mentioned, there are things a person can do that this machine cannot. Around me, its not easy to get a good sharpening unless I drive 30 minutes to a Total hockey, or a few other shops. Total makes 0 dollars per sharpening each time I go in the store (but plenty more in other purchases ;) Maybe ill purchase one of these in the winter as a backup plan, as in my world these can both have a place. Plus I need additional retirement funds. Russ: I noticed in the video there are two different backlights. is red for when its in operation, and green when it is finished and skates can be removed? hope you are able to make it to SJ, would love to see it in action!!!!!!

7-8 months in a post 2000 band seems like its actually a long time. I think the average length of time a band stays together nowadays is 54 days
