Howdy, I have one of these now as well. Protection feels as good or better than the 7092 girdle I was using before, other than tailbone protection. That seems a bit worse. I used a seam ripper to detach more of the loop on the back of the girdle to make it easier to hang up. Happy with it overall. There's not a lot of choice for a wrap style girdle out there. Mark

Howdy, Has anyone successfully gotten SkateScribe service via mail order? Last I heard from Nathan / the service email, someone was going to reach out with an invoice / whatever and then nothing for a couple weeks. Mark

Howdy, I just spray mine with 91% isopropyl alcohol, undiluted. Everything but skates. Mark

Howdy, Yeah, doesn't look like a helmet piece to me either. Part of your bag maybe? Mark

Howdy, Woohoo! Glad to see you getting back out. 🙂 So, full cage or sticking with the half shield? 🙂 Mark

Howdy, Way to go! Glad to see a pic of you up and smiling. Well, "New England Smiling" anyway. 🙂 Continued progress on the healing! Mark (You're gonna get little tattoo stiches next to the scar, right? And go as Frankenstein for Halloween? :))

Howdy, Hey man, been travelling and just saw this. Hope the procedure went well and you're annoying nurses right now! Mark

Howdy, Stopped there this morning on the way through the area... Pretty decent! New Sticks were $140 iirc. Hockey socks for $10/pair, half shields for $10, game jerseys for $100. Lots of other stuff too. And this was at 11am on day 3. Thanks for posting it! Mark

Howdy, Huh. I'm travelling to Maine this weekend and spending Saturday night near there. How good is this sale usually? Mark

Howdy, "Like" isn't really the right emoticon here for "holy fuck, I hope this goes well and sending you good vibes and hugs". Mark

Howdy, Holy shit! Hopefully catching it early (I hope?) means treatment goes well. And yeah, having a puck bash your face in ending up being a good thing... Wow! Mark

Howdy, I really need to show my wife that sticks picture. Mark

Howdy, I like my Tacks as well, and agree with the "tanks" comment. But if you're looking for lighter / lower profile compared to the 20k I wouldn't imagine that would be it. Mark

Howdy, Maybe to some extent (and I think its due to the stiffness of the boot vs. anything else), but I still think there's a lot to be said for explicitly being able to set lace tension on the instep/forefoot vs. the ankle area of the foot. To me, lace locks are one of the things I wouldn't mind having back on my skates for sure. The bigger question is how easy they would be to integrate well on a boot with normal eyelets. Mark

Howdy, Brace and ibuprofen is what I do as well. A doctor buddy that I played with for a while basically told me that there's nothing that's going to 'bring back' my knee. His advice was to do a brace / ibuprofen and when it became something I couldn't deal with anymore that I should come see him for a replacement. In my case, this is coming from an old meniscus tear though, so maybe your situation is different. Mark
