Hey guys, just picked this up today after stick and puck. Went into my local hockey shop just to browse around. When I saw it I thought me eyes were playing tricks on me. I had to buy it, these are sooo rare and also my favourite stick (even if its just the shaft). So now with this one it bumps my total Adrenaline count up to 5 (2 of which are the control grip version) and all are still in good condition.
EDIT - Just realized how long its been since I last posted and I also picked these up boxing day

are those adrenalines real shafts or broken OPS?Both were OPS where the blades broke, so I just did a little cutting and then heated them up and pulled them out making them tapered shafts.

Hey guys it has been awhile since I last posted, here is a quick summary of my most recent gear
EDIT - 56k warning

Nothing outta the ordinary here, just a Stealth CNT Sakic 85, this is kind of a jump for me since I've always used a Whip flex, we'll see how it works out. So far with the smarthockey ball I like the feel :)

Hey guys and girls,
Well it has been awhile since I have last posted. My grade 12 year has hit me pretty hard and sorta taken time away from other things including my 'online' alias, but nonetheless here I am and these are my (semi) new skates = ) They are custom Vapor XXXX's and I placed the order for them back in august and got them around the end of september. I am really happy with them except for one little little thing, the back of my left heel has been giving me some pain, but I've had it punched out and its getting better. Everything else is top notch especially the tongues, after seeing Guy Incognito's skates I knew I had to have them :) Anyways here are the pics. Cheers

How do you like the One90 blade?
Its awesome, no complaints so far, paired with the vapor XX shaft it almost feels exactly like my xxx lite in terms of feel etc.

Alright, it has been awhile since I've posted pics of my stuff, here is a full update of what I am currently using right now.
*Caution large pictures*
It is a lot :) Custom XXXX skates are coming soon too... B)

Last month I finally got my 'N' which is part of the Graduated Licensing Program here in BC. This stage allows me to finally drive alone without any adults. My parents gave me the old family car. Its a 1987 Toyota Tercel SR5, 5 speed, yah know one of the 4WD ones that has the 'extra low' gear for intense off road adventures. HAhah, thing still runs today, just had to replace a couple things here and there (horn, wires, front left CV Joint) and Viola! The thing is fun as hell to drive and I cannot complain about having a car gifted to me. Here's some quick pics I just took now...
despite what it looks like, it has 191xxx KM

who's helmet is that?
Yeah sorry about that. I should have clarified. The Rbk helmet I bought at the LHS I work at. After buying the Santala stick for a mere $50 CAD I was able to get the helmet sooner then I originally thought I would be able to.
-
Well heres my... uhh.. haul from the Canucks equipment sale. Santala Vector V10 one piece. Feels more like a Regular flex rather then a Stiff flex. The curve is also pretty close to a sakic so I'm happy. Then with the money I had left over I bought myself an 8k helmet, because my intake was not fitting all too well without a cage to keep it in place.
EDIT - I got the helmet from my LHS, not from the equipment sale
-
Got the shaft in a trade with Dieselbro, paired it with a Kovalev blade.
Other half of the deal here. Pretty much gonna be used for road.
Good to hear your back in hockey blues, maybe I'll see yah at the 'Nucks equipment sale ^_^
-
Wow those skates are sweeet. EWH seems to offer those tongues.
Does anyone know if those tongues are available from NBH for a custom order of XXX skates??
or
would you have to buy the tongues from EHW and then go put them in yourself??
-
well its not a pro stock Response Lite but here is a pro stock Adrenaline (whip flex) I got from my LHS. Total came to about $140 CAD, can't believe I was playing with anything else since my last Adrenaline broke. This stick is by far my favourite all-time :) Curve is pretty much lidstrom-ish/sakic-ish 5.5 lie.
-
those TPS gloves are wicked!!! Best feeling palms ever. I've only seen the Afinogenov and Frolov coloured ones before!!
-
At the LHS where I work, for some reason we got two in stock one day. Very random but I think we might be getting a larger shipment soon

BBS LM
Bilstein PSS9s
SS Headers
Eisenmann Section 1, 2, and Race Exhaust
Rogue Engineering Octane Shift kit
Predator Chromium
Im desperately needing a BBK. The UUC/Wilwood is looking pretty damn tempting at this moment.
sweet setup, and good luck with the big brake kit!! M3 with LM's =

Yeah tell me about it, this one is the first I've seen in person lol. I've been a big fan of their whip flex and but ever since the R8 etc came out I felt like the overall quality of the stuff went down. I miss the good ole days of the XN10 so I've been stockpiling these adrenalines, hopefully they dont start breaking.
