  1. Yeah that is very true. The whole point of the Hum'er is to use all 80s. Bigger wheels, bigger contact patch, bigger leverage. If you are using smaller wheels on a Hum'er, you would be better off with the Vanguard, since that has two 80s in the back, instead of all 76s.
  2. Shocking as it may seem, some people may prefer the Hum'er *gasp* over the Vanguard. Blasphemous, I know, but entirely possible. What a ridiculous assumption and pathetic sarcastic comment. Were you trying to be ironically funny by being sarcastic as well? I actually do prefer the Hum'er over the Vanguard.
  3. Those Wicked Lights look nice... My teammate Jake has the green E-Frames, but I didn't think they looked that great. The silver looks a lot better.
  4. I like the holders... that's a job well done. NikeBauer FTW? Well, I guess you have to count those shoulder pads...
  5. Looks fine to me... it's more on the limit of the chassis sizing, but it should do.
  6. Guy, I'm loving this Vapors.
  7. Plus, the logo is cool anyway.
  8. Damn those are sick! Now I wish I had kept a set of E-Frames for myself.
  9. Vapor X by choice? I'd definitely step it up to an XV or XIX. Definitely would be worth it.
  10. Labeda Hum'er 7000 Series Extruded Aluminum Chassis All 80mm Straight Frame OVERALL RATING: 10/10 Other Chassis: Mission Hi-Lo, Nike/Bauer One-Up, Sprung Frames My Stats: 5' 9" 190 lbs, play 5+ times a week. Background: Mounted with Tour's deal for $108, which included return shipping, mounting, the chassis, Labeda Fuzion wheels, and Bevo Abec-7 Bearings. Speed: By far the fastest chassis I have ever used. The big wheels allow for more leverage, hence the greater power, and increased speed. I believed them, and it turned out true. I noticed an instant increase in speed, and after having tried Hi-Lo's again, there is no competition for the Hum'er frames. 10/10 Maneuverability: After adjustments, depending on your adjustment rate, the turning difference that some people claim are no longer noticeable. In fact, I did not feel any to begin with, aside from having a longer wheel base. 10/10 Grip/Stopping: Great control. These chassis can even allow you to use a higher wheel durometer, since they stress each wheel more in the stopping process, the weight and leverage in increased. I had always used X-Soft or Soft Labeda's, and 78A Rink Rats. I could now use 80A Rink Rats without problem. Stopping becomes a simple process with the Hum'ers, as they do, in general, increase the power of all motions. The stopping and in phenomenal, and the grip unsurpassed; no more wheel slip! 10/10 Weight: The chassis has a bit more material than most Hi-Lo's, but it is well worth it's extra weight. Not too much difference, and is easily adjusted to. Hopefully, Labeda will be offering the mounting deal again, and I can get all my skates mounted! 9/10
  11. Gotta love the old school tacks. I have a good feeling that I'm going to be mounting some 30-90's with Hum'er's soon. Mmmm.... hummer...
  12. Rediculous... see if you can color in the red parts of the Mg with green. :D
  13. What kind of dog is that? Is it Pro Stock?
  14. Rick, where are you hosting? It really shouldn't be that difficult. Just host on a site (I use googlepages, which gives me a little space, but any other site (photobucket, flickr, etc) should let you put your image up, and let you have a link to it, which looks like, for example: http://yourhostaddress.com/usernamemaybe?/...3/imagename.jpg Find that code, copy it by highlighting with the mouse and right clicking to select "Copy" or simply hold Control and press C while doing so to copy. When you get here, paste that down, and highlight it. Click the icon next to the font color selector, which is the globe and the paperclip, and paste in your URL where necessary, by either right clicking and pressing paste, or clicking in the box and holding control, then pressing V. Those 80-90's look nice; if you end up not wanting them, what size are they? :P
  15. The fact that you are rotating those is what scares me. You will be skating on the same skates for at least 10 years; but you'll probably be getting new ones as we go along, no? I have (had) maybe 10 pairs of skates, but many have broken or have been sold. I can't even imagine having all of those. That would be paradise! And all Mission, too!
  16. That's a big negative, captain. Everything should go as planned. Carry on.
  17. Do you mean if it will make it necessary to dremmel it? Or do you mean if it will break down the boot? It shouldn't do anything more than make it an awesome roller hockey skate, so if you've got it, go for it.
  18. It may just be the sizing of the skates and how far the toe cap extends; I know Sprungster wears like a 10 or something, so that's 1.5 sizes over the front; the boots look like they are mounted fine, and you shouldn't fret over it. After I got my skates converted with Hum'ers, I scrutinized every inch of my skates and noticed maybe a little imperfection here and there, but it doesn't make much of a difference if you are used to it. I actually like having the chassis mounted forward a bit so that I don't have any wheel slip; it allows for more leverage at the toe of the skate so you can dig in more.
  19. I am really liking these. That's a really nice combination. It's almost like the white parts on the skate match the chassis.
