Exactly what i was thinking, 8D is the sample size so im guessing hes found a shop whos got their sample already. Which itself is impressive (my local dealer in the U.K thinks earliest he willg et a sample is April).
Snake, where in the U.K do you play? If i see someone sporting these, ill know to say hi!

if thats your stance all the time, i.e. when recieving/giving a pass, shooting, then i would suggest a lower lie on your stick.

I was told 3 months on eastons skate warranty, so perhaps he just wanted money out of me for new skates...which he got.
I recieved the oakleys today that i won on ebay, they are prostocks so are slightly different. The main differences i can tell are. The colour scheme (obviously), after the cuff the material is nylon i think, rather thatn leather, It feels slightly tigher on my hand, different thinner palm, and slightly lighter.
The furys are my senior team gloves, but since they are a senior team and im still a small junior, i got gloves that are too big for me, so im going to modify them by unstiching the long cuff to shorter it, so it doesnt restrict my movement, they were free anyway so its all good.

Haha i had them all of about 10 months before that happened
then i put the resin on which came off after about 3 sessions. I'd like to think i 'm a powerful skater who puts immense pressure on his skates. But At a British junior level....i can't quite see that being the reason!
-
Well, i've had them since May, the toes fell apart, i was told a few months ago that i couldnt get the skates replaced. So i put a fiberglass resin over the top to try and cover the gaping hole which was dangerous, and my toes were going blue getting frozen, Because the resin was so strong it wouldn't bend, it just cracked and left the hole open again. So in the end i got some new skates, the graf 735 supras...nice!

The thing is she may not have known any better, her son was probably in the wrong but ofcourse wont tell her that, i see alot of people in that situation

-
Yeah im the the uk sdo cant really afford to do the shipping back of one of the pairs, besides, i wouldnt know what two sizes to get anyway!
-
Im wearing a pair of 10R synergy 1300c's my toes are quite touching the end, any idea of what size i would need? Because the only way i can get these is through the net as i can't get them over here
-
Argh it's such a pain in the ass they put the int ops's at 65 flex, i'm diggin the 75, now i have to go for the 85 which is too stiff if i want to get a ops
-
My lhs has got the only pair of one70's in the country in, they are £420 which is $720. He thinks over here the one90's will come to around £470. I didnt think the one70s were the lightest skates i have held, he thinks because of the price they just wont sell over here. I beg to differ
-
:o wonder how they managed to get hold of these. Unless they are just up on the site before stock comes in
-
Thanks, well since they say they are expanding their choice of curves, may i put a suggestion... IGGY CLONE. I will be a devout customer for a long time to come :) Oh and i might have to order a pair of those custom gloves aswell.

What is the paulzee curve a clone of? Iginla?
EDIT: Sorry for double post
-
If they are going to be able to do custom curves on these ops's. will they be consistent, not like custom wood blades where you get like 2 good in a dozen. Because if they can do this with consistent curves they are really onto something. Although if they come out at $250 a piece, i may have to pass :(

There are automatic skate sharpening machines around, but you still need someone who knows their stuff to program and operate it, as most of the time the customers dont know what they are talking about either.
I've ahd one encounter with on of these machines in a shop, the conversation went a little something like:
"Hi, is it possible i get my skates sharpened please?"
"Sure, no problem"
(I then see the machine)
"Is that automatic?"
"Yeah, it does them perfect"
"Ok, can i get a 1/2 ROH please"
"(With a funny look) Ha, a what?"
"...A half inch radius of hollow please"
"What do you mean?"
"...Thats the grind i want"
"This machine doesnt do that, it only does levels 1,2 or 3"
"...Thanks anyway"
