    Tried on the gloves at WF and the palms were neat. The glove didn't fit me well so it was hard to tell how much I'd like them overall, but the concept is definitely good. Will wait till I can try on some properly fitting gloves to give a fuller opinion.

    I hear ya, warm winter has been a bummer

    Another issue is that most parents aren't going to want to buy skates for their kid after their initial reaction to trying them on is "these are very tight" on a foot that is still growing.

    went on a job interview a few months ago. Was asked why I was in the market, since I already worked for a good company, and said that my rotating shift hours made it difficult to take classes towards my masters, see my friends and family, and play hockey. "you play hockey?" come to find out, I've skated against the guy 4 or 5 times. at this point, the interview goes one of two ways. luckily for me, the puck bounced into the net on this one.

    probably at this point would deserve its own thread.

    if that is their current plan they would be doing a bad job of it, considering they are about to release a new second skate line,

    Really excited about the EK60 release, but cannot find any information about what curves it will be available in, other than retailers stocking the 88, 26, and 28 to preorder. two questions arise from this. 1. will other patterns be released? 2. will it be like the EK15 where we see the patterns released in blocks? mainly interested in the 09

    Personally I don't care if your post on here or not, that's up to you and wether you get something out of the venting or not. You are on topic, I'm just saying you need to understand that chippa is always going to be chippa, etc, and you will get some negative feedback on things. You will get sarcasm a lot from me because I Am sarcastic, but it doesn't mean I think any less or more of anyone. This isn't a support group, so vent away, and if the chirping bothers you, just ignore it man. Maybe it really bothers or is important to you, that's fine, everyone is different. Understand the audience, you're more likely to get supportive comments by % in a group of friends than you are guys in the locker room, even if they may be friends. And like Dave said, yes it is kind of stupid that it's not a standard feature in a luxury auto, considering that I could have opted for it in my car, but I'm a cheap ass and just want reliability and safety in a car so I don't personally find it an important feature. Oh and if you want to point out any small stupid stuff I vent about, do so, and I will agree.

    I think your misunderstanding the audience here. Yes it's a venting thread, but your venting very often to a group of hockey players. Chirping is in our nature, we all do it to each other when together and apart. As residents of countries primarily in the first world, most of us don't see venting about piddly shit as something you need to do fairly often. If you are searching for sympathy with your vents, perhaps a better outlet would be livejournal, Facebook, or some other form of social media rather than complaining to a bunch of hockey players.

    Having steering wheel radio control was an option for me when I bought my Subaru in 08, but moving my fingers the three inches over to the control on the radio wasn't difficult

    I did! they have one in Stowe in September, might see if any of the teams need a skater =)

    Is that Hockey fights MS tournament annual? My parents live about an hour away from Burlington, and I would like to try to see if any of the teams need guys next year to skate in honor of my uncle who recently passed away from MS.

    that all depends on your own preferences and budget. you can get the max on clearance fairly cheap (got mine for 240 after discount code some months ago), and that was low enough for me to say, even though i have the Teams, i can get these (and thus setting up an indoor and outdoor pair). at the time, 650 would have been too much for me, simply because i was just re-starting roller and wasnt exactly sure if it would be a fad or something id continue with. I am going to probably keep playing inline once or twice a week, so its adequate for those needs, maybe when the + gets cleared out id spring for those and sell the max. I dont have experience with the max+ but the purlyn quarter is more heat moldable, and more durable supposedly, and the liner better at wicking moisture.
  14. Stewie
    biggest ones are the quarter material and liners

    at least its not winterfest and you wont have to eat at Tonys, the good thing about new York is the food is so expensive you wont be able to overeat without getting a small loan.

    congrats Jukka, unfortunately its almost time for you to gain the SJ 10 back though.
  17. Stewie
    My top three are Bauer premium, swiftwick, and DryMax.
  18. Stewie
    we all hope its for the last time too man. Hope all goes well.

    you should've gotten a roof rack for your leg pads

    oh, someone got a car, I thought it was a freeze frame from a Cialis commercial
  21. Stewie
    Silly to think your getting wiper blades and oil changes "free". That kind of stuff is built into the price you pay for the automobile and at inflated dealer costs

    I love the teams. Good level wheel, nice boot and chassis, and you can get it in several sizes on clearance after codes for around 150 shipped. To me, at that price, its a steal and what I advise most people I know to do when they have boots in bad condition and see my teams. Now im in max's for indoor which I scooped up for 240 after codes, they have over 100 in wheels alone. The main upgrades that I am interested in on the max+ is the quarter and liner, but I have to see if I am going to stick with roller before id invest in those. I was fairly successful my first season back, switching to the max skates about 3 weeks ago. some guys at a pickup even commented on how quick I was, and were shocked when I told them I hadn't played but the last 3 months since '00. is it the skates? now to just get the stopping down, I have noticed it easier with the addiction wheels though.

    it should just direct to livejournal.com

    liking how this catalogue and their releases are shaping up for this year. Will definitely give the CX and the model under a good look when it releases.

    Might I ask if this is in the hockey field?every industry is different and offers different challenges from a logistics standpoint. Sometimes a company will sell stock they don't have due to agreements with their suppliers to pull items, and then they find out later there are none at the supplier. A lot of this is on us as a consumer too.
