Blackstone Flat-Bottom V Thread

bingo. mine were both loose so i popped them out and replaced them with chicago screws and good lord what a difference. should have come that way from the factory -
just stole these off eBay for $280. they were never skated in. came with never sharpened LS3 steel
-
I have and love those Combats except the palms wore out incredibly fast. gotta send em out for repalm
-
$85 off sidelineswap. liners and loops were cut which I'm not thrilled about, but otherwise they're barely used and can't beat the price for pro stock franchises
-
i had those back in the day. they were good skates

Swapping ice to roller holders and back
asgoodasdead replied to smcgreg's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
yeah, this is crap. i did nothing but hockey from 12-16. 2 teams year round, hockey camps every summer etc and pretty much hit a wall development-wise. then i took the summer off when i was 16 and played in a summer soccer league instead. came back to my high school and travel teams in the fall and was suddenly the fastest kid on the ice no matter who i was playing with or against. was previously one of the slowest. completely changed my game and i went from 3rd pair D to 1st. -
i bought a 4'x8' sheet of 1/8" mdf thats typically used for temporary floor protection so the one side is smooth and the other is rough to stick to the floor. costs $8 at home depot and works well enough for what i need it for

Single Favorite Piece of Equipment Ever
asgoodasdead replied to beerleaguecaptain's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
probably my Louisville "Messier" gloves in calgary colors. one day i'll send them out for a re-palm -
no floppy anything here. on top of my laces being extra long, i also skip the top hole. so when unlaced they're plenty loose for me to slip on and off easily and for the skates to air out properly
-
ive never had rivet replacements, but i did drop my skates off for something last year i forget what and they cut my laces so i was like "wtf" and they gave me a free pair of replacement laces. so i won on that deal
-
i've always bought longer laces than needed and knot the ends so ive never had an issue with tips since they only really get laced once

i dont tie my skates that tight either, but prefer wax laces just because they're so much more durable. any time i've used non-waxed they get sliced in game 1 or 2 -

my current skates don't have the comfort edge, my last pair did. i've never felt a difference, really. my hockey socks end up being under the top of the skate anyway so even though i skate barefoot, that part of the skate never touches my skin -
I've been playing with a completely dead stick for like 2-3 months waiting for it to break while I have a brand new one sitting at home. still scoring with it, so
-
100% psychology. and usually the guys spending top dollar on equipment thinking it'll make them better that I play with are ankle benders that need to spend that money on skating lessons instead lol
-
i try not to spend over $100 on a stick and i always score more goals and get more assists than the guys playing with $300 sticks lol but its beer league so
