  1. Sweet, I cant wait to see the nxg elbows/shins and the nexus 1000 gloves sound awesome!
  2. Im personally a fan of the short blade. Great for stick handling especially in traffic.
  3. I can understand dropping the heatley as it is very similar to an iginla but It doesnt sound like im going to be a fan of where they are going with their curves either. I really do like the iginla, and Im an easton stick fan.
  4. Will the heatley be changed along with the iginla then?
  5. Aww no, i really hope they don't change too much if anything about the iginla pattern. its my favorite curve iv ever used. I thought it was a pretty popular curve? why would they be changing it?
  6. Oh, okay because I looked on on hockeygiant, icewarehouse and hockeymonkey and none of them have them online yet.
  7. One95 without a doubt. That is if its in decent condition, and fits your foot well.
  8. Well if they work for you, more power to you! Cheap wheels cant go wrong. I personally cant skate on them i slip around too much.
  9. Thats cool! Id go for the 11k personally. Hook that up with some better wheels and youre in business!!
  10. Rdutko, I dont see why you would go with an all 76mm set up. It will feel almost exactly the same as all 80s, and you would be sacrificing some speed and grip.
  11. They look amazing Justin, Can you give us a hint as to what some of the changes will be?
  12. that and the ca9 has epp foam (like in high end helmets) in its quarter package. Making it stiffer, lighter and even more heat moldable.
  13. Wow, Thats so cool. Lucky day haha
  14. Awesome gloves! Where did you get them autographed?

    Eagle Talon

    Background: Coming from Bauer supreme one75 gloves, I have been using the Talons for about 3 months now. Fit: 10/10: I love the fit of these gloves. Very anatomically fitting throughout, and they hug my hand very nicely, Plus the cuff doesnt restring movement. Weight: 10/10: Lightweight, not much to say about terms of weight. Comfort: 9/10: Coming from Bauer gloves, the MSH2 palms are very soft, and comfortable. The only downside is they could use a little more ventilation. Mobility: 10/10: For a glove that fits so close to your hand, I have no problems at all with mobility, and I have never felt held back by them at all. Protection: 9/10: Great protection for my use. Im not sure if people would have any problems or night in a higher level ice hockey league. For competitive roller hockey I have no problems. Durability: 8/10: After 3 months of use, I have absolutely no wear on the palms. The only reason I gave this an 8/10 is because the stitching seems a bit weak in a few areas. No real problems with it yet though. Overall: 9/10: These gloves are a great buy, I love the fit and I cant see myself going to any other gloves in the near future. The only things I can see eagle improving on with these is, 1. More ventilation, and 2. Better stitching in key areas.
  16. The Supreme one 60's are on sale/clearance almost everywhere right now. You could probably pick up a pair for a great deal and just remove the runner to add a chassis.
  17. Easton Stealth S19 Flex: 75 (cut down to about an 80.) Curve: Zetterburg Non Grip About me: 5'8 140lbs Used from Dec 2011-April 2012 Looks: This stick looks sick, I love everything about the looks especially the way the elliptical portion of the stick looks. (10/10) Weight/Balance: Very light and wheel balanced, iv felt lighter but its not blad heavy at all which makes up for it. (10/10) Blade: Very stiff and true blade, Great feel. (10/10) Flex/shaft feel: Great true flex, feels like a 75-85 flex which is what i like. (10/10) Shooting: This is the best stick i have ever used for snap shots. Shots simply snap of the stick almost effortlessly. (10/10) Durability: I loved everything about this stick until two weeks ago when i went after a puck in the boards and took a bad slash. I went to make a hard pass and the stick snapped right in the elliptical portion of the stick. I guess the performance you get from that portion of the stick gives up a little durability. (8/10) Conclusion: This is my favorite stick i have ever used. There is no reason i wouldnt buy this stick again in a heart beat. I just wish it lasted longer, oh well. (9.5/10) I couldnt find another S19 in my curve/flex so i ended up purchasing a total one. Hopefully its just as good!
  18. Labeda Addiction wheels Durometer: (White) XXX grip (mini bearings) Size: 80 mm About me: 5'8 140lbs, Forward, intermediate/advanced skater League: Varstity Surface: Indoor Sport court tiles Usage: 4-5 times/week Grip: These wheels boast as being the grippiest wheels on the market. I just dont feel it. I feel as if i get more grip from rink rats, it could be because of how the addictions are made, and because im a lighter player. (7/10) Speed: These wheels are great in terms of speed. I wouldnt say they are all that much better than the rink rats iv used before but compared to the millenniums, these are great! (9/10) Durability: Along with grip this is where the Addictions turn me away. They say that they have the best wear on the market but Iv had them for a month and a half, skating 4-5 nights a week and I have serveral wheels with cracks and chunks out of them. I am currently contanting lebeda to see if they can be replaced, maybe i got a bad set? (5/10) Looks: I personally love the way my white addictions look, and i like the look of the holes in the plastic hub of the wheel too. (10/10) Value: These wheels came with my Tour Ex1 skates so thankfully i didnt have to shell out over a 100$ for the set. So far i dont think they are worth the price per wheel, Ill be trying out the rink rat hornet splits next as I have seen more good reviews on them Latly. (5/10) Overall: This is a great idea for the design of a wheel by lebeda and i know many people who love this wheel but its just not for me. Personally I like the performance out of rink rats better, ill be sticking with them in the future. (6.5-7/10). Edit: After using regular 608 bearing addictions for 6 months I have to change my review. The experience I had with the micro bearing addictions was completly different from the performance of the 608 bearing wheels. The 608 bearing addictions are hands down the best performing wheel I have ever used and durability is much better than that of the micro bearing wheels. Overall I cannot see there being a better wheel on the market and I have tried revisions, rink rat splits, and others. NEW Overall: Micro bearing addictions 6.5-7/10 608 bearing Addictions: 9.5-10/10.
