    Great info guys, thanks!! One additional question, anyone have a guess when the AS3 will be available for the Custom skate options, still only Jetspeed and AS1 right now. My son has a half size or slightly larger foot size difference and needs new skates, was hoping to take advantage of the new tech.

    So just to provide an update to this, we ended up having a similar issue to the footbed, not 100% sure why, but the included 10.5 footbed, for the size 9 skate feels a half size too small. It slides back and forth with just a gentle finger motion, so certainly heel lock could be effected. I contacted IW, and they took care of it, as they do everything else, truly great customer service.

    I also changed out the bearings, Although I am a tad OCD when it comes to the bearing spin test and I am coming from Bones Super Swiss, I always, ALWAYS have issues with Mission bearings. Also we did have an air bubble or two in our wheels as well, probably chalk that up to rushing the product out and limited supply of wheels, but that plus the bearings make me want for a custom skate option, where you can select your bearings and wheels would be a nice option.

    My son tried these out this past weekend and concurred on the out of the box comfort was phenomenal and the XRD memory foam was a very innovative addition to the line. Post baking was more of the same, very comfortable light skate, more ice like ... Coming over from a CCM Jetspeed inline skate, the biggest take away, other than comfort was the lightness of the skate, at least 100 grams lighter, yet stiffer and a better skate. Ascetics are mostly individual, but he loves the look as do most of his friends, which is the point :) I think they have a winner on their hands with the FZ0.

    This is good news for us, as our online season is about to end at SW. pretty smart to release before the season, Kudos to them!!

    They have had a Mission booth every year I have gone to State Wars, I would expect that are going to coordinate the media and have them in St Louis, we will be there, and I will get some pics if they have it on display. Go Team Colorado! 2002 and 2003!!!

    Yes, 2016 late summer, they had them at State Wars that year in Indiana. We are in the same boat, bought a pair of older CCM skates to tide my son over, I think he is finally done growing, will take a chance when the NLS1 prices go down.

    Sorry if this is a repeat, but did not see, the RPE Zenith and the RPE Visum look great, but will we be seeing an update to the rest of the line this year, or just these two and the Rival?

    Just wanted to relay how happy we are with the new Alkali RPD Crew+ ABS Stick. We have been trying like crazy to find an ABS stick for outdoors that was similar to his ice/inline game stick and this is really lighter and more game like than anything else we have tried. Do you expect to offer the blades for this at some point?

    I agree with this entirely, my son is fit nicely into the size 6 CA5 we tried on, so assuming the the fit is similar that would be my plan as well, but those discounts for the 2013 models are getting tempting, I would imagine even more so once these models arrive.
