  1. Probably depends on how you have your boot setup, but I had to rebake mine, yes. The added volume put too much pressure on the top of my foot based on how they were previously baked/laced. Even with the amount they compress, it’s still a lot more volume
  2. Funny, I used to do the same When I mixed durometers and people looked at me like I was crazy. Seems like most go the opposite
  3. I’d agree. Air flow is probably the biggest, but like with CCM’s Tacks X helmet, the 3D printed lattice structure conforms to your foot the way traditional felt or memory foams can’t which also helps in the comfort department. Are they worth double the price of standard tongues? Uh…
  4. Which is also what he stated at launch, but I still hold hope that would change. Major bummer and I wonder why?
  5. The Velcro panel is solid material so that’s what the thread is anchored to. The lattice structure on the bottom doesn’t do much there, but well see what happens
  6. An update on the 3D printed True tongues. Unfortunately, and perhaps unsurprisingly, the velcro patch began to pull away from the tongue. I reached out to True who sent me updated replacements that are now fully stitched, which should eliminate any issues going forward. I started using modified (shortened) 9x4 tongues on the ice skates and have put the new 3D printed tongues on my TF9 inline skates. Will try and test them out in 2 weeks when I'm back in town and able to play. Here's how the new tongue and old tongues compare. The only difference is the stitched section.
  7. Saw this video the other day and apparently True will be dropping the blacked out versions along with these white out versions of the 9x4. I’ve been asking True to offer this for years for roller. Still don’t get why they wouldn’t make white toe caps an option as goalies can do it. I’ll definitely be buying when they become available and putting Marsblades on them I was never a fan of the colored facing on the old VH skates, but when you add the toe cap I think the louder skate suits roller perfectly. Adding the tendon guard and the rear panel is even better
  8. Patiently waiting for the new sticks to be available on the custom configurator…
  9. Thank you for the reply Per. Will it be possible to buy the O2 insert to use with the R1?
  10. Just got a preorder email for the O2. Details are vague but I’d be curious to learn more. Does the new lower fit the R1 upper? They obviously look the same but maybe they’re not actually not same. If the upper is the same, does the O2 have the same amount of rocker as the O1? I thought Per said something about the effective radius of the O1 and R1 being totally different and the R1 not being possible to match the O1. The images show a green insert. Would that green insert allow for more rocker and be compatible with the R1? https://www.marsblade.com/o2-pre-access?utm_source=Klaviyo&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=202510-Email-Campaign-O2-Pre-Access-Newsletter-Us&_kx=s9PFwWVKXgcklZQMKKTjc6Hi56zy85xeHyQ8oN0-4OA.WaUmHn
  11. Let's start bringing roller back! Been on Marsblade R1's for the last 4-ish years. Have had this pair of anodized Kryptonium frames in my closet collecting dust for I don't know how long. Decided to finally throw them on a pair of skates. We'll see if I transition back to a standard frame or stick with the R1. Surfside Hockey did the conversion.
  12. Also strange their 2025 catalogue lists nothing new. No new Hzrdus, nothing about the new Cat line, and no new SVH
  13. Almost bought a pair myself and planned on painting the navy black and swapping the cuff roll to make them Hawks throwbacks. Love those gloves
  14. Got a pair of skates coming in for a roller conversion I’d like to bring in next weekend
