    I can also attest to the "ice-like" feeling when using the O1s. I've been using them to play full time for about 2 years and its been a blast! Because of my long-term experience with them, there was no hesitation with the R1 pre-order. As someone who spends a lot more time on ice, the transition from ice to inline (and vice versa) has always been seamless. I don't find myself having to readjust my stride like I have in the past with normal inline chassises.

    Is that why they "shut down" for a few months?
  3. 215BroadStBullies610
    Yep yep: $99 USD + Shipping. And yea, I like my Konixx Pures also so that will be the setup I'll have some time in July/August. Yea, it seemed like the 50% off deal was for about a week? Not sure how long the new discount of 30% will last.

    FYI: Preorder for the just the R1 chassis went up to $139!

    Assuming that Marsblade's stock wheel option hasn't changed, their wheels are soft. I upgraded the wheels on my O1's to the Pure +2. I haven't used them outdoors but as soon as I'm able to get the R1's installed on my other pair of ice skates, the O1 setup will be used primarily for outdoor skating.

    Yea, I'm in the "wait and see" mode. Things have been shut down here in the Philadelphia area so I can only imagine how things are up I-95. Will look forward to things getting back to "normal" especially for those of you in the Greater NYC area! And when that time comes, I'd like to be considered for SJ2020.
  7. 215BroadStBullies610
    Well, I guess we have our answer now! Pre-orders for July and August 2020!
  8. 215BroadStBullies610
    Long overdue on the followup but I'm a huge fan of Pure (+2) and would highly suggest them! I do wonder how the new Pure X's compare though.
  9. 215BroadStBullies610
    That's a good question. As once as I get the R1, I'll start using my O1s for outdoor training. I didn't want to use the O1s for training since I've been using them for playing and didn't to shorten the chassis' life by doing both. I have another pair of ice skates that have been sitting dormant for months and will look to the MSH Proshop to make the conversion for me. I expect good things out of the R1.
  10. 215BroadStBullies610
    The O1s definitely sit tall. That was the biggest adjustment when I first started skating with. It was/is still worth given the much easier transition from playing ice to roller and vice versa much more smoother. From the looks of it, the R1s do look to have a lower profile.
  11. 215BroadStBullies610
    Good question. I've been using the off-ice training model for 2 years now for playing and I've really enjoyed them. I've always been concerned about how the O1s would hold up though. The R1 chassis is what I hope is the right upgrade.

    Literally just saw this on Instagram. Looks like this may be my next big hockey purchase haha!

    Gov. Tom Wolf extended our state's "Stay-At-Home" order till April 30, 2020. I'm not surprised that we'd be away from the rinks for a bit just crazy to think how long this could last. As long as I can stay healthy, it will be really hard for me to complain. Edit: Actually is for 33 PA counties but it looks like he may just have the order for the whole state (makes more sense to me).
  14. 215BroadStBullies610
    I've learned so much about the technical aspects of hockey business from the website. Always appreciate all that this forum offers.
  15. 215BroadStBullies610
    Good question. Well, I go with two sticks: the original Easton Synergy OPS and the NikeBauer ONE95. Both those sticks just struck a cord with me. Definitely have more modern pieces of equipment that aren't sticks but we could be here all day haha.
  16. 215BroadStBullies610
    Yep yep, here on the other side of the state, we've been going through closures since last week. I live in one of the 4 counties surrounding Philadelphia where most of Pennsylvania's cases have resided. Was just talking to one of my fellow officials and we also think it will be more than 2 weeks that rinks will be closed. Just stay safe people. Weird working from home and there are no sports to look forward to but rather be safe.
  17. 215BroadStBullies610
    I think 2 weeks will be the minimum. I can see some rinks (and other establishments) going past that threshold. Once again, if everyone would just put a pause (as much as possible) on their normal lives for 2 weeks, I think it would be much easier to weed out the those who should get tested/those who are test positive. We all know that won't happen though so I don't expect to touch the ice/sport court any time soon.
  18. 215BroadStBullies610
    The rinks that I play out of are all closed for the next 1-2 weeks. It will be the longest I haven't touched the ice in a minute ha. But if this will be my biggest problem, then I can live with it. I just hope people take the necessary precautions so that the people able to fight this virus can do their jobs.
  19. 215BroadStBullies610
    Really? I'd be all over that. I've been using the Marsblades for inline for over a year now and I like them but I've always been concerned about longevity. Hope these come into production one day.
  20. 215BroadStBullies610
    Appreciate the feedback. As a fellow official myself, I've been eyeing up VH/Trues for about 2-3 years now. Another officiating buddy of mine also complained about the durability of the True skates (his pair is the 1st Gen). I've been pushing off the purchase because I don't want "eat" $1K in vain. The incentives are there though (e.g. custom fit, tax write-off). Interested to hear from other officials and their respective experiences.
  21. 215BroadStBullies610
    Just saw the skates on Instagram. Not my favorite Bauer design.
  22. 215BroadStBullies610
    No way they'd do that. Right!?
  23. 215BroadStBullies610
    Off the top of the dome: 1. Easton Mako 2. Bauer Vapor 1X 3. Nike Bauer One70 4. CCM Super Tacks 852

    A). The closet rink(s) I play at are both 18 miles (25-30 mins) away. There is a rink in town but I do pick up there when ice is laid down AND I'm actually able to make the ice time. B). N/A

    I think there is a time and place for everything. I'm an unapologetic sneaker head so I appreciate footwear that covers the color spectrum. When it comes to skates though, less is more in my opinion. I understand that companies will use anything as a marketing tool but I personally would keep things simple. Two of my more recent skates (Easton Mako and Bauer Vapor 1X) are probably two of most favorite in regards to performance but way too loud of colorways for my liking haha. I liked the looks of the Easton Mako II and Bauer Vapor 1X LE much more.
