    Couple pics of my latest stuff. Just bought an HS22 straight cut tinted and like it but the tint definitely isn't as dark as I was expecting. And the Pahlsson TPS XN10 I picked up from whbd18 a while ago. Definitely love this stick, get lots of questions about how it's black. Buying a set of Mission Warp Sub-Zero's tomorrow from JR as well :D

    Anyone here have some bad experiences from the other side of the table? I ordered a visor from my LHS on April 4th, told I would get a call in 2 weeks "for sure" to let me know if it's going to be a straight up order, or if I'm going to need to put down a deposit. 2.5 weeks go by and I call, and am treated rudely when I ask about my visor. I called again today after 3.5 weeks at about 11 in the morning, the guy said he's going to lunch but would call them as soon as he got back from lunch, find out what's up with my visor, then call me back. It's 5 o'clock, the store's closing, and I'm going to another game with my rusty old cage I just find it really hard to support my LHS when I could have bought the same thing online for 10 bucks less and had it in my hands a week ago........

    A 10/10.5 wouldn't fit me width wise. I could probably get into one length wise, but any 10.5 I've tried on pinches the sides of my feet.

    Thanks I picked them up slightly used for 40 bucks....I wish I could show you the palms...when I say slightly used, I mean SLIGHTLY used. These gloves even smell better than my brand new eagles (Black) ebondo: as for the v12's I would love them if I had bought them as a 8.5 instead of a 10. (When I got fitted they said I would be good to go because I wear a size 11 shoe....they lied) Way too big for my foot and the chassis that is on them....its a damn shame those skates are effin awesome and now I cant find any in my size. However I realy love the mission 9500's. My V12's fit unbelieveably small. I normally wear a size 12 shoe and it's perfect in the size 8.5 flexlites :o

    That's some nice looking stuff, but I'm seriously going to have nightmare of Bjore Salming standing over my bed with that facial expression tonite :lol:

    Definitely love the fit on them, don't like the fact that I've had em for 2.5 months on the ice about once a week and the palms are starting to show wear.

    Here's the good stuff. Bauer 8000 w/mirrored HS22, Vapor XXX gloves, flexlite 12's, and my synthesis. Little bit of boredom plus a new digi cam for christmas means a sweet photoshoot :P

    My old Stealth was about 410 grams. Maybe they're just getting honest, who knows.
  9. tokes
    I know. If they did something like Heatley's stealth for retail (pure black), I would have been in love.

    The shiney/chrome part on the 04 sticks started closer to the blade on the 2004 models, IIRC.
  11. tokes
    Damn, those new stealths look ugly compared to the 04/05 models.
  12. tokes
    Yep, IMHO the XV's are about the best "mid range" glove you can get. I ended up buying these M-1 Pro's instead of some new XV's last year and now I wish I didn't.

    Helmet: Bauer 5000 Visor: Itech HS22 Mirrored (I hope I don't get murdered :lol: ) Elbows: Jofa something or others Gloves: Misson M-1 Pro's (the ones goodtimes1919 jibbed me on, finally got them fixed) pants: RBK 6K Shins: jofa something or others Skates: graf 502SE GW's Sticks: stealth 100/modo, sicore 110/lidstrom, zbubble 110/inno kovalev I finally got myself a good paying job and spent some money on comfy equiptment myself, got rid of my ratty old skates and helmet. Definitely excited for hockey now :)

    Untill you discover that not drying your skates leads to the horrible growth of bacteria and can lead to a bad infection. I couldn't play hockey for 6 weeks 2 years ago because I thought not drying my skates out made em feel nice, I had a small cut on my foot and I got a nasty infection.

    Just had to buy new rollerblades, thanks to the wad who stole my old pair. Still need to sell the stealth so I can afford registration for summer hockey, yikes.
  16. tokes
    It's called has a Mom that can't say no :lol:

    Roller hockey here is UBER lax. Ice time is very cheap, so roller hockey is looked at more of a fun off season conditioning thing to keep you busy in the spring time after playoffs and before all the camps.

    The reason they do this is because they charge much higher prices to people who live in Canada. If I could order a Stealth from a site in the USA for 190 USD (=240 bucks cad) why would I pay 350 bucks Canadian, or 280 USD for it here?

    well i cant see any difference... How do you back lace ? i dont know it :( how about making a small video? :D Go take an old shoe, and try this. Instead of coming up underneath right along the tongue and pushing the lace through the eyelet towards the outside of the shoe/skate, do it oppositely. Take the lace towards the outside of the boot, and feed it through the eyelet so it is pushing towards the tongue of the shoe/skate.
  20. tokes
    Backlacing keeps the skate tight even after the laces start to get a bit wet and you start skating in them for a while.
  21. tokes
    Here's a picture comparing a backlaced and a non-backlaced skate, side by side. Graf makes the best laces IMHO, I just don't like it how my LHS doesn't carry white waxed laces, only yellow, and no longer than 84"
  22. tokes
    Well, they are incredibly strong, but in the catalogue it claims they're mixed in with the resin between all the weaves of carbon fibre in the blade. One gram of this stuff isn't going to make very much/any difference in the strength of the blade, you'd have to add more than that to really get anything out of it, so adding one gram of it would be a waste.
  23. tokes
    I wanna know more about the said Carbon Nanotubes used in the Synergy SL. I found the price for them to be in the range of 80-100 dollars per gram, so how much of it can there really be in a stick that costs less than 200 dollars?
  24. tokes
    I'm guessing it's just the shaft and the blade, not fused. Kinda like how they used to sell T-Flex shafts with blades in them already. JR, any info on the pricing for the new Synergies? Is the ST going to slip into the same price point as the regular synergy, and the SL into the place of the SiCore, or is there going to be a price increase? What's the deal with "The One", is this to replace the Havoc? I'm guessing the Havoc didn't sell very well, because I never saw a single person using one, and the guys at my LHS said they sold like 2 since they had them.
  25. tokes
    Yeah, those just don't look right. On a side note, if I had more money that I know what to do with, I'm pretty sure i'd order a pair of Lime, Orange, and Teal Pro-Glo eagles with chrome writing. That'd be pimped :lol: Thanks JR for going to the trouble of getting all these things scanned for us!
