Thats quite the stick collection....^^^^^

I didn't find the tongues to be that long...While the one95 seems short the X:60 seems pretty normal.

Handled the skates yesterday. Look really nice, feel soft though. Think I might actually be satisfied with the skates I have for once... although the liner did feel amazing.

Aren't all those videos on their website? Pictures are awesome though.

Nice to know the catalogue has been updated. No holiday though right?

Interesting cut design, really am wanting these skates now (even though I don't need them). Way too lazy to go grab my 95's but I'm gonna assume they're a 90 degree? EDIT: on second look the 95's have a slight forward angle to them as well. Weird that I never noticed this before...

Maybe someone who has a pair can answer this for me: In all the pictures I've seen of the skate it looks like the back of the boot is actually set to less then a 90 degree angle, effectively forcing you to flex forward and inhibiting you from standing up straight. Is this true, are the boots naturally forward flexed, or are my eyes playing tricks on me?

Is the 50 the top of the line one? Excited to hear what you think of it.

Blind in one eye from hockey?

Shocked at the comment back there that X:60's are better looking then the 95's. Both look great IMO. Funny to see a million people like Jr said run out and ask about the fit cause they want a pair for they sake of having skates. Get what fits. And if you feel the 95's are as agile as the 60's, add a heel lift to get you up on your toes. That being said I need to get out and see a pair. Its bad but I would go into debt buying hockey gear, regardless of whether or not I use it. Although the Vapors were my first true skate love.

Yah thats what i thought as well. His thoughts were just that if its dressed like a xxxx it will have a wider last and be a better fit in the heel. Sounds like the two boots are the same/similar though.

That's what I said, told him to just go for the X:60. Thanks for the advice though, look forward to pics and reviews.

Ok, here's one for you. My buddy warrantied his xxxx's a little while back and Bauer called him today about it. They said they'll send him either a X:60 or a X:60 dressed as a xxxx, and he's worried about the fit. He has a bit of a wide foot and has heard the X:60 has is very narrow in the heal. Any advice?

I would just love an outdoor rink. Although it doesn't get quite cold enough in Vancouver for that. (I'm talking ice, not roller)

Ohh, I see what you're saying. Yah I have the one95's and couldn't be happier with their stiffness, just curious if the X:60's will give that same feel in the boot.

If you're in Vancouver, it might be easier to head over to CTS on Oak. They have them (although Surrey is beautiful this time of the year). Lol, I'm in Coquitlam so my closest is CT on north road. Bill's is right by my work but they're pretty tiny. Be nice to have something in the Coquitlam area but the reputation built by CT, Scoffs, and the Hockey Shop is just too dominating. Sucks cause no where to sharpen skates. Hoping I can get a new X01 and start my own little garage shop lol.

You feel they aren't as stiff as the xxxx's! Safe to assume then that they have nothing on the one95's in terms of stiffness?

That looks like a sweet facility, is it partially outdoors?

That 5100 looks awesome and super comfortable. X:50's look pretty nice as well.

Wow, no idea what you guys are talking about but I drive an 08 Caliber SXT. Its filled with pucks, sticks, gloves, and fake ice though lol.

Might have to head over to the hockeyshop just to look at these babies.

Wow. And people thought the X:60's were flashy. They have nothing on those inlines

lol. If they really are trying to copy Bauer I must say they've done a terrible job aesthetics wise. Boot looks futuristic and spacey with way too much clutter. While the x:60's have a lot of flash, the one95 is still a classic look that would've been a smarter option to plagiarize. Although I am a huge bauer whore so I might be biased....

Those are nice. I'd assume the cuff is short but looks even tinier due to the gloves being 12"

Those Grabovski warriors are awesome.
