    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!

    haha, no, it had to be a random drawing from all entrants, because if he took photo contents into account, I mean, how can you say no to that face!!!!!!!!

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

    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

    excellent glove. I thought they were great at the 79.99 price point, but now that they have dropped to 59.99, even better. I demoed them last SJ and was very impressed. The only issue I found with them was pretty much the same of any similar style/priced glove, ran a bit hot. I think this glove, with mesh gusseting, and something like the 37.5 as a liner would be the perfect beer league glove for me. Unfortunately I had to purchase my last pair of gloves in a hurry as I got to the rink and forgot my pair, but getting APX Pro for 80 bucks in MSH colorway was a nice tradeoff. Let me know how these work for you, I may still buy a pair in the near future.

    Same here! This is awesome :)

    Thanks! I've only used the stick for part of one game thusfar but it's got great kick. I'm going to cut it a little shorter since it's a higher lie than I normally use, and I had originally cut it to the length that I like my defensive stick to be. I purchased it on advice from one of my ice hockey teammates who said the puck feel was great on it, an issue I'm facing considering my current stick setup is fairly pingy on feel and I don't like it as much with the plastic pucks. Everyone I have asked about the sticks loves them thusfar, and after discount on IW they are a sick price so I suggest you check one out.I haven't used the RPD max skates yet, gonna get them baked and on tiles here shortly, at which point I'll switch out the millenniums on the Teams to the asphalts shown.
  16. Stewie
    one if by tile, two if by street. also my newest addition, RPD max stick!

    In the leagues around here, the league managers usually move teams around to even it out. They would probably have already bumped that team up, and bumped a d5 team down
  18. Stewie
    seems like your league has some balancing issues.

    I ordered a max stick from IW that should be arriving sometime soon. Got it for 160 shipped so for a top end stick it is relatively inexpensive. One of my ice teammates recommended it to me as I asked him about suggestions he had for better puck feel as my RBZ and ek15 are both awkward to me with the roller puck. I'll let you know my findings
  20. Stewie
    I will be trying it pretty soon, will let you know
  21. Stewie
    best news im gonna get all day!

    poor cali dudes, pond hockey must be a real drag for you guys!

    depending on your size and availability, you may also want to look at getting a Team or Shift skate on clearance from the previous line. Both come with a great wheel, so that may save you on upgrading in the future. As for the two you mentioned, I think the Comp would be as low as I would go unless I am strictly looking for something to use on concrete, but that's me personally.

    forgot to pack gloves in my Ice bag today. Got to the rink, 35 mins from my house to realize this. Luckily for me they had some APX Pro in Black/yellow at the pro shop for 80 bux on clearance! I guess that part goes in the sweet spot thread.

    The alkali pants are really nice, but they are the only roller pants ive owned (when I first played roller 17 years ago used ice hockey setup with some k2 zspecials, then didn't play for 15 years). I have the team pants, and will soon look to get another pair, maybe the max. when I compare them to others in stores, they just seem like the best fit for me. I have washed them twice now in the machine (low spin, with my other gears) and hung them with no ill effects.
