Wow Chris, those are s-i-l-k-y. Well done sir.

Bummer, I'll miss Woodhouse.

I got a rash on both of upper portion of my calves.. It wasn't the Poron for me but I still got it. Glad to know I wasn't the only one. You're spot on with the review, well done!

I've personally seen two different compatibility issues with the SpeedPlates, one on my 50K's and another on a friend's JetSpeeds. There's a little ripple/wrinkle thing that forms near the center of the SpeedPlate. My guess is the concave shape of the midsole in another brand's skates affects the SpeedPlate's ability to properly mold.

Ruh roh, out of warranty?
Yep, turns out it's just plugs & a coil though. Not too shabby!

As I was pulling into work, my car started misfiring.. into the shop it goes, not looking forward to finding how much german engineering repairs cost. Did I mention there's no hockey on today either?

These and the Bauer NG 37.5 socks are my favorites. I really like the swiftwicks because they're still thin and breathable, unlike most cut-proof socks.

That was TLC. And I hate myself for knowing that.
Now that's Venting Spot 101.

My life has fallen to the point that I am listening to Destinys Child while at work... I really need an office with a window.

Getting excited for the Arizona Classic in a few weeks. Very fun tournament and weekend vacation...
You and me both! What division are you in?

Couldn't be happier with the fit after heat molding these Max+'s. The skate on the right is unbaked, the skate on the left is baked (mine). The eyelets really laid over like the top of the quarter package does in the pic. Reminds me of baking the Makos. Can't wait to give these a spin in my game tomorrow, even though I've been skating around in them around the warehouse a bit haha.

Redstar chassis is a dead give away huh?
-
Right there with Punk, just in time for TBT. I was debating pilfering these Red Star chassis for my conversion. These are a coworkers but still beauts nonetheless.
-
you should. Check out ice warehouse they always have the best deals on alkali ;)
That's seems to be the word around town ;)
Anyways, I'm going with the Hi-Lo Mag frame.. Weightlessness wins by default, should get them on tomorrow. Will upload pics when I can.
-
In that case, I'll just keep using these Fish BoneLite Pro's :)
That'd be awesome, I've never been able to give your guys' skates a try.
-
I appreciate it Althoma. I've been eyeing the Marsblade but league starts tomorrow and I'm just looking to go with one of the chassis' I already have.
-
Gentlemen, I need your guys' expert opinion.
I'm mounting inline frames on my Tacks ice boots. I've got the Humer Eviction, a Mag 76-80 Hi-Lo and a Redstar 72-80 Hi-Lo to choose from. I grew up on ice and that's where I learned to skate, still trying to fine-tune my inline stride. So with that in mind, what do you think the best bet is here?

dont correct my horrible understanding of science......
Lol. Here's what Borland retweeted "Just an FYI: A 250 lb football player, running 15 mph, has more kinetic energy than a bullet fired from an AK-47 rifle.”

Probably because I was in the right place at the right time to get him one of our frames. But at that size skate, there is a serious advantage of going all 80s. Since the 2nd wheel is recessed into the boot, you still get a lot of the mobility of having smaller wheels in the front, while having a much larger contact patch which allows for faster speed while working less.
How do you mean the wheel recesses into the boot? Was there some custom work done to the outsole or does it just fit that way naturally with the heel lift?
It definitely looks like a good, close fit. I've never converted a pair myself, just curious!
-
Hey JR, how come you went with the all 80 setup? Just curious as to why. PS: they look great, makes me want to get my ONE90 converts out.
-
Speedplate is not being released (after market) until Spring 2015, it is being released with the 1X skate.
They won't be available aftermarket until 2016, sadly. They'll still be released with the 1X's though.

Brought home a Beer League 'Chip Thursday, took my dad to a concert Friday and then we went to the Kings/Preds game Saturday.
Couldn't have asked for a better weekend that encompassed spending time with family, playing hockey, watching hockey and seeing a great band live. Well, maybe a King's W would have been nice too but this isn't the Venting thread haha.

seems from this thread there is so much drama in California hockey. I realize Hollywood is just down the road, but sheesh.
I actually had a Minnesotian tell me something along those lines in a game not too long ago. I still refuse to believe it haha.
