Yeah, Sherwood makes some fine ass sticks

Nexus 800 skates. Super comfy

I need to get a drying rack. Buy or build?

decided to 'de-lawyer' one of my UltraLites Here's my lawyered up UltraLite: here's my de-lawyered one and where it all went: any other good ways to get the text off a stick? was thinking of getting this all down to just the shiny paint.

oh yeah? kind of like BMX grips :D next time I'll try the tape + WD40 thing. Hairspray isn't something I have... as I am bald.

More open than a Coffey?

Is it just me, or are blades getting harder to find? I'm looking for a Lidstrom curve now. looks like a good match for my play style.

Thanks to a member here who sold me the pair for a great deal ($80 for 2 shipped) https://plus.google.com/photos/113927859411935722913/albums/5991729492743667025 Those Command Grips are a pain in the ass to install... wish I'd googled it first and saw to put WD-40 on the grip before sliding it over. gave myself a hangnail. Can't wait to fire a few shots off with it. I'm looking for a 2nd blade to use. I have my Coffey curve on this, but I'd like something that would keep the puck down. Something with a little less loft.

Bauer Custom Supreme 200 Bauer Custom Supreme 100 so much ankle flex and articulation. NO protection, but the comfort and mobility made up for the broken ankles from stopping shots. the toe cap on my 200 shattered blocking a shot once... I tried to wear them a few more years but eventually it split so bad it was cutting into my toes. I just barely tolerate these Supreme 1000s: they're still pretty new and unbroken-in... but the heels aren't right. My heels go numb after a while. I'm still trying to heatgun them a bit to loosen them. I might see if I can steal my dad's 200s for a game or two.

wow, those bring back memories. what was the draw of them? something about that plastic bit near the bottom IIRC.

I've always wanted to put it on an aircraft and make it disappear...

At this point I can lift most of the paint off with my fingernails. I was thinking of just scraping it off with a razor blade. I'll probably just hit it with some aircraft remover and scrape it off. I could anodize it or chrome plate it for maximum ostentatiousness.

Easton H4799Anyone remember this kind of stick tape (do they still sell it?) it's textured plastic. It's indestructible. I put this on last in about 1995 and it's lasted me since. Occasional applications of heat and pressing it back on is all it needs.This may or may not be legal curvature... :D 19 year old tape: I'm torn between grinding all the paint off and plasti-dipping the shaft... and leaving it as is with it's war wounds or grinding all the paint off and mirror polishing it. Every slapshot I take bruises my hands now that I'm an old man. But with snap shots and wrist shots, it's a beast. You can see it's lifting a little here. has been since 1995 (yes, this tape is OLD)you can see how it sorta shatters rather than falls off Also, the Sherwood blade is indestructible too. this whole setup is as is from 1995.Cooper pants (these are getting replaced with Combat MF 52 Caliber pants) Easton Synergy EQ50 Shinpads Bauer Vapor X20 Gloves CCM Supra SP500 Shoulder Pads (also getting replaced because they're choking me...) Bauer Custom Supreme 1000s (I hated these when I bought them in like 1996... so they sat until last year when my 1992 Custom Supreme 100s split a seam at the eyelets and wouldn't lace anymore... so I baked these and popped them on and they feel ok now. they still pinch my heels a little, but I just need to suck it up and break them in) I also have an Easton S19 helmet and some Bauer Vapor elbow pads Also, here's some of that old equipment back in 1993 The Cooper pants, Supra shoulderpads, H4799 and Bauer Custom Supreme 100s are visible. Kneepads were Coopers that just blew up last year on me (plastic shattered) I miss my Cooper 2000 helmet... the foam got gnarly and I had to junk it.
