    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.

    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

    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
  8. Stewie
    I will be trying it pretty soon, will let you know

    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.

    Excellent! thanks Chase! Yes I was looking at the newest gen RPD and Team sticks. I thought it kind of odd that the Sr and Int would be 7" difference, so figured it was a typo. Someone probably just inputted the Jr length into Int on accident I can confirm that they are now reading properly on the consumers end, now to decide which one to go with
  15. Stewie
    I have a question regarding stick lengths. On IW website, they have the length on Intermediate at 52in, and senior at 59. Do you know how they are measuring this, and if these numbers are accurate? I am considering getting one, but wonder if it will be too short.

    I was always a Buick guy, but got sick of shelling out so much money for every little thing that broke or wore out. After graduating college, I moved to Vermont for a bit to hang with my parents, that showed me how really awful my regal was in the snow. My mom got an outback after the car she moved to Vermont with (concorde) was totaled, and my dad has always owned cherokees. They drive the Outback when it snows. I bought an Impreza in 08', its great in the snow, but next I will probably get an Outback or Forester. I haven't had a single issue with mine, only normal replacements (brakes, tires wore out, stuff like that). 112k without replacing things is new to me, but I like it!

    Owning a Subaru during winter snowstorms. On the flip side, I can never use getting stuck as an excuse to not make it in to work :(

    Better Sundays than the super bowl: Any Sunday I play hockey Any Sunday Red Wings play hockey Any Sunday during the Stanley Cup Playoffs I don't need any specific event to ttell me when to consume junk food.

    im with Chris on this one.

    EK11 looks like a great second price point stick, I wonder what Sher-wood will MAP them at.

    made it through the weekend. as mentioned before played roller for the first time in many years, but that was just the start of a weekend where I played 3 sports in 24 hours that I hadn't played in a combined 25 years. My main goal was not to fall, which I accomplished, but perhaps I should have been more concerned about head safety as I took a rollerblade to the jaw (with cage on, thankfully) and a soccer ball to the nose/face. Sore all over, but I got a goal in both soccer and roller, so win win! although the roller game was drop in, and my soccer team lost 2-4. But hey, I got a draw in racquetball doubles!!!!!
  22. Stewie
    First inline game in 13 or 14 years. Well it was drop in. Did better than I expected too and didn't fall once which was pretty much my goal. Next step, getting used to the lighter puck

    Well my MacBook was the first gen with Intel. Two weeks in it kept randomly shutting off after some hours, and the "geniuses couldn't figure it out dispite my leaving it there all day. They took my hard drive out and replaced the whole computer. Another week in, same issue. I thought it might be an issue with the heat sink and turns out it became a known issue. Everything has issues, I get it, but this was a hardware issue that was super easy to test before launch, that's what stress tests are for! Some months after that an issue with my backlight occurred that they never figured out so now the backlight spasms every few minutes for tge last 7 years. It crashes a lot more than my PC does too. I haven't used it much in the last few years because it's a hassle, and now eats through batteries so that they die completely within a month of purchase, which sucks because the apple batteries are not cheap, it's a desktop at this point. By now they are building better intel machines so I'll definitely give them another shot down the road, probably when I work on my masters

    I am in agreement with Chippa, zealots are more annoying than the haters. Having used both, each has their place. Unfortunately for me, I've had way more issues with my MacBook than all other computers I've owned combined. The amount of testing they did when switching over to the intel chips was laughable. Personally I just stick with building my own, they last longer and it's way cheaper. I don't game as much as I used to however so I could see myself giving mac another try in the future.
  25. Stewie
    They were very impressive at WF too, unfortunately I didn't spend enough time focusing on their protective as I had just bought all new within a year, but I will definitely look closer once the lines are released into stores!
