Great stuff. The Hemsky curve reminds me ALOT of of a retail Federov but with a really high lie. From the pic it looks like a 6+ lie.

DAMN!!!!!!!!! Those One95's are PIMP!!!

My Beer league pic. Team Korupt

TBL, nice gloves. Do they have split fingers? It looks like it but I cant see 100%.

Holly sweet Jesus!!! Damn those are HOT!!!

Without the savings :lol:

WOW figgifumi_11, I thought that my gear looked new. You got me beat for sure! BTW: Is that a spray grip on the Mission/ccm combo stick?

I still sleep with mine every night. Thanks JR :lol:

ashtonhutch05; Totally right, an Inno True 1 with a touch of Easotn Synergy graphics. But yes a hot looking stick indeed!! BTW; What is 12K carbon?

That seems like a pretty ignorant remark about a product that you havent touched or used based on the tongue alone.Or have you?

I second that! Damn those are sweet!!

Sweet lid. The Easton helmet is growing on me...is it VN? I second that. Not a fan at first but the black is by far the best color and look of the helmet.

Great find!! Those are some sweet blades. Still hate the Warrior graphics. Thanks god for tape eh.

TBL, I so agree with you. I hate everything about the Dolo graphics but LOVE the PF grip. As for the weight; Who cares as long as you like it and it performs. Great combo, love the 260 flex. Enjoy.

TBL. Whats the specs on your new combo?

Background 5'11, 218lbs., wide forefoot, regular heel, mod arch. Previous Skates Graf G3’s and 705 5-1-2008 Update Fit/Comfort Both my Graf’s were a D Regular width in a size 9.5 same as the S15’s. The S15’s are A great fit both in length and width and extremely comfortable out of the box. I had them baked even though I didn’t feel I needed to but I think it really helped mold the tongue to my foot since I wear my tongues under my shin pads. I was pleasantly surprised with the tongues on the S15’s. I ordered some felt tongues in advance incase I didn’t like these but ended up with no need to switch them out. I really like the Pad lock design of the ankle lock as well. The Pilgrim grip lining seems just fine with my Oxysocks. To the touch with your hand you may think differently as well as those who skate barefoot. I have to say that these are as close to a perfect fit for me as you can get either custom or retail. 10/10 Still fit great, like a mold of my foot. Have taken MANY shots and hacks off these and have had no issues with pain or any sort of destruction to the skate. Toe is a bit beat up but ONLY cosmetic. Blade/Holder I really liked the Tuuk LS2 holders that I had installed on my Graf’s. I threw those on my S15’s just because I was use to them and had never heard anything special about the Easton holders and what I had heard was that they didn’t accommodate well to heavier guys. So with that being said I cant give a fair review on the holders. I will say this though. I bought a pair of heel wedges as well thinking that I would again need them for the proper pitch that I was use to from my Graf’s however I simply used the foam heel lift that comes with the skate along with my Superfeet insoles and it worked just fine after a couple of skates. N/A (personal preference) Weight These skates are freaking light and I can’t see skates much lighter while maintaining a high quality boot that performs and protects like these. 10/10 Protection The S15’s have to be the most protective skates I have EVER worn. I have taken dozens of shots off my feet (Not feeling a thing) and not only have I been able to finish my shifts but also the game without any issues to the skate or me. I suggest these to any defenseman looking for a high performance protective skate.10/10 As stated above: Still solid and extremely protective. Durability I’ve been wearing the S15’s 2- 3 times a week since June/July and the skates have held up Great. Some people have complained about cosmetic issues with this skate such as the glue that keeps the leather to the shell pealing away. I have not had that issue (yet) however I am meticulous with taking care of my stuff. I always wipe dry, remove my insoles and hang my gear to dry. I have had my toecaps peel a bit but I expected that when I first got them. I will say that I am happy that they don’t look as bad as I thought they would by now. 10/10 These skates are tanks!! No issues with them at all. Tongue is holding up as well as the leather and the glue that is fused to the carbon outsole. Conclusion This was the first pair of Easton skates I have ever owned. I was tempted to pick up a pair of the 1200’s but had a hard time parting with my Graf’s. I can say with complete confidence that my experience with the S15 has been nothing but a dream and worth every penny. I will buy another pair in the near future as a back up for sure. I hope Easton continues to make this skate and maybe designing a black on black or a charcoal gray on black as the next generation. I’m personally just not a fan of the shinny silver. With that being said these are the best bang for your buck if they fit your foot type. I have to give the conclusion a 9.8 just because nothing is perfect and the shinny silver color of the boot. Still not a fan of the shinny silver but whatever. The skate was worth EVERY PENNY and I wouldnt buy another skate for any other reason other than to just try something different. I thought that with my weight and how hard I am on skates that these would be on their last leg but that is SO NOT the case. Overall Score 9.8/10

That just comedy!! But oh how true. :lol: LOL!!

Just scrape it off. There was a thread on how to not more than a week ago.

Still my favorit stick of all time. I still have 2 federovs and one Mogiliny. Clear/checkered all the way up. God I miss those.

My new Vector Helmet; Thanks JR :D Modified Halo headband so I dont get sweat in my eyes. Works great for bald guys.

Number21, nice mix and very classy style. Bucko; Love the gear, I always thought that the Vapor 10 and 8090's were the best looking Bauer skates to this day.

Nice stick great curve.

Do I dare ask whats with the vasoline and PS2 game control?

I agree. Always loved the look of the G3/G5 skates.

What will be the final color of the sticks? Will they stay with the Black/BLUE non-grip and black/Red grip?
