    Just picked up a par of Bauer Apx iceskates. I have two different frames to choose from. 1) Bauer Magnesium (from Rx-60's) 2) Mission Vanguard Alu (standalone frame-set) Feel like I'm more on my toes with my current Rx-60's, than with my old CCM 10.0 + Misison Vanguard conversion. Is that because the Pitch is different between the frames, or because the pitch is different between the boots (or maybe both)? Also would the pitch with the Apx+Mag setup be the same as the Rx-60, or do I need a heellift/shim?

    I have a narrow heel and wide forefoot, so this is music to my ears. ;-) How high is the arch?

    I'd like to see specific photos of the curves on your OPS, if any of them are different from standard retail curves from the other manufactors, and photos of shafts/blades (if they exist?)
  4. Patrick67
    They have done the standard shaft (instead of US tapered version) thing in Europe for the last couple of seasons. The tapered market is really slow, mainly because of pisspoor selection, so from a buisness standard point they choose to make a standard shaft with the top-model graphics. Rbk does the same thing as far as I recall.

    Damm I thought the 5 lie p92 was gonna became a mainstream curve, but it's only offered on the x-60 stickum senior model and through the BauerID program as far as I can see. Is there anyway to get bauer p92 5lie replacement blades, I can't justify money for a OPS with my breakage rate. I currently play with a Warrior "lie 4" draper, but have had shitty durability with the dolomite HD blade, so was really hoping / looking forward to the 5 lie p92. :-(

    Gaborik's 2nd shot was not weak at all, lightning fast release as usual, vintage Gaborik. But yeah Caps are gonna fail again this season, due to the lack of defense and a top-tier goalie (both varlamov and theo are under 0.900 atm).

    Who is the blues guy, all the way to the left, with the awesome Stash' on the picture?
  8. Patrick67
    Yeah that frame is way too big for the boot. Wheel placements looks a little too forward as well, but I'm guessing they simply couldn't get the mounting plate to fit any further back if they tried to, due to the wrong chassis size.

    LOL best respons I've read this side of New Years on MSH. I'm gonna remember that one. :D

    They don't feel too bad, but I'm not completely sure, I honestly have a hard time telling, since I'm currently suffering from the placebo effect of the frames visually being a little too forward, making my judgement bias....
  11. Patrick67
    On the subject of custom skates... How big a differential do most of you feel is acceptable in terms of frame placement on the boot? Just had some v10.0's converted with a Vanguard frame, and I feel like the frames are close to a ½inch too forward on the booth. When I say "feel" it's in visual contrast with frame placement on stock Mission skates. I know it's okay if the frame isn't absolutely perfect down to the last millimeter, heck even stock icestocks have ever so slightly misaligned holders, but when is too much too much?

    I can't remember, but seem to recall there were some problems with converting Bauer skates due to the outsole. But is this only the case for One90's, i.e. are there no problem with converting Vapors?

    My guess is "family" reasons :)

    Thockey17, that car is seriously sick. All the immigrants in my neighbourhood would give me nothing but a ton of respect if I cruised in around in a car like that, it would become instantly off-limits to vandalism unlike most other "nice" cars in my area.

    Like the Vikings jersey. Nice and clean.
  16. Patrick67
    Lol the same thing just happened to my shirt. I'll have a Vector Pro + Mg vanguard setup in 1½-2weeks, to replace my beaten up 10'0's.

    mxihockey: Boston Bruins 1930's style jersey... not bad. And proliner that's one sweet kit.
  18. Patrick67
    One the topic of mounting frames.... Does mission have a mounting-instruction for the vanguard frame, ala. the one Sprung has? I found Sprungs mounting instruction to be exellent, and currently have a pair of vanguards laying around.

    Awesome map, gives a good overview. But 0'17$ for a gallon in Caracas???? WTF.
  20. Patrick67
    LOL I didn't even notice that haha.
  21. Patrick67
    I though Kabby was patting him on the butt ala NFL... put it looks more like he's feeling him up... LOL
  22. Patrick67
    Funny how many MSH members that have tinted visors... *sigh*
  23. Patrick67
    LOL that goalie mask is sick! haha good stuff.
  24. Patrick67
    Cool rink, really dig the atmosphere, but what's up with the endboards? the 3rd picture makes it look really odd dimensional wise.

    I can't believe all the Murray bashing in correlation with David not getting big minutes against Montreal. The team won which is Murray's job, it's not his job to give players ice time based on who's in attendence. Look at it this way... Murray let Perron start in the shootout even though Perron was 0/4 prior to this game, instead of bitching that perron didn't get 15+mins. It's not like this was the only game all season where a player had familiy in attendence... So should they give special treatment every single game to the player(s) that has mom and pop in the stands??? "Keith you mom is in row 4... Do you want to play in PP1 or PP2 or both????"
