Yes.

Re the verbero pucks, I have never broken one and used them for indoor pickup games that we used to organize.
Weird, the ones that broke on me were brand new. They were used indoors as well. Now that I think about it I think it was both of the dark green ones that broke and the red ones didn't break.

I played a few pickup games awhile ago and brought 4 Verbero pucks. Two of them broke completely in half within 2 or 3 games. I would not recommend them.

Just got these back from JR. 2s pros are awesome. I only had one full set of floating spacers lying around, so I set up the 2s pros. I just threw some wheels on the 1s for the picture. They feel nice, haven't really had a chance to put them to the test, but they feel great and they are definitely mounted perfectly. Have another pair of 1s waiting for the marsblades r1 to arrive.
Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but where do you ship the skates to for JR to mount the chassis? I'm wondering how much shipping will cost.

I have to drop 3 eyelets to even get my foot in them, but then how the hell am I supposed to lace them back up? It wraps around my foot so tightly that there's no room to feed the lace into the eyelet.
I pull the tongue forward, and put the lace through the eyelet behind the tongue. Then tuck the tongue back under the eyelets after I've got all the laces through.

I've got a pair and skated on them 5 or 6 times. So far so good. I had a pair of Supreme MX3s converted to roller, and the "Comfort Edge" dug in right above my ankle and created bloody bruises. I have no pain in these. I had to have one skate baked an extra time, because there was a spot hurting my ankle. They folded up some paper, and taped it to my ankle where it was hurting to push it out when I put my foot in the skate after baking it. It was great after that.

I started playing at The Rinks Corona, and my Konixx Pure 0 hardness wheels get no grip at all. They grip great at Huntington Beach, which uses a different kind of tile. I weigh 135, so that doesn't help. I have some 74A Lebeda Milleniums that I'll try out next game to see if they're any better.
I see that Revision makes an extra soft wheel that is 72A on the soft side and 74A on the speed side. Maybe I'd get good grip if I got some of those and put them all on the soft side? That's a lot of money to spend, just to try it out though. I also found some PRIME brand wheels that are 72A, but I have no idea if they're any good. They're the company that makes those skates with the 3 huge wheels. Here's a link to them https://www.skatepro.com/en-us/40-27113.htm.
Any advice would be great. Thanks.

Had JR do these. True roller boot with Marsblades. You can see that my skates are a tad too short, but he made it work. I wear a size 6.5 in Bauer, and the Marsblades are a size medium.
