But I’m confused.. i thought MLX was created by David Cruickshank who is all over the makos marketing as the designer? Scott Van Horne from VH skates created True skates. So both come from speedskating but two different people. Maybe they collaborated on them at one point.

Good to know.. thanks for the insight

Ok great thanks. I bought a pair of prostock Trues and they seemed wide and like moon boots compared to my makos. But they were a size E and probably punched out, so probably would think differently if they were sized correctly for me. Do they have the same forward pitch as makos? Thats what makes makos so unique and would be tough going back to a bauer or ccm unless u profiled the crap out of them.

How do u compared the mako to the trues?

I wonder why no one has hired Dave Cruikshank the designer of MLX and Easton Mako skates? He created an unreal skate like no other and then Bauer buys Easton and poof it is gone.. Sucks! I wore the original mako skate and the back carbon broke off from the boot. Then i found new Mako2's and had them for like 4 years ad they are getting worn. Everyone is smart and plucks any Makos 2's off ebay and sideline swap right away. I tried on a pair of True skates and they feel like moon boots. I personally don't think they feel anything like Makos. They are similar but Scott Van Horne developed the from VH Skates. Some people get confused and think it is the same person that developed the Mako skate. Are any of the new Custom CCM's or any other skates comparable? Does anyone with True skates feel they are much heavier and bulkier than Makos? Cheers!
