If in Ottawa you should be going to BSharp to be fitted. All stores have been given all the information to do the fittings properly. Sounds like they didn't bother to do the fitting seminar online.

It's probably a good thing they stopped doing customs if they were having so many issues. Dollars to donuts it was a scanning issue. Of the last 200 pairs I have done I have had 1 rebuild. I have had a couple boot fractures of high end players from shot blocks. But we had Pro returns they could borrow and had the skates repaired in days. The quality has just been getting better and better.

You think so?? I think the LS5 sharpens better. Looks nicer but not a fan.

Impressed with? I think the LS5 actually sharpens better.

Just switch to XS holders. Problem solved. All the black you want then.

PM me

Shimming a holder that may not be aligned properly is setting yourself up for a lot of extra work

Well I mean they didnt make them to align. Not like the last ones. Besides the outside are completely fresh holes. Just fill the old ones

Have you aligned the blades first or leaving then as mounted?

Really? 2 rear and the inside front usually line up perfect.

Gatorade bottle. Works awesome

Where is this post from?

I had to use for one of my players it was a couple years in when I got it. Was a solid machine but I only did the one pkayers skates. If I had to use one that would be my choice.

Actually not really after reading the acquisition article. 2 different technologies just happened to know be owned by Mips. Now if they add Fluid Inside to the Mips rotational system then it gets very interesting. At the end of the day if everyone wearing a helmet is safer and it doesn't cost 1000 for a helmet.... isn't it just better for all? The acquisition is primarily part of our strategic plan to increase our patent protection and is an acknowledgment of our position as the world leader in brain protection systems within helmet-based safety. We are also very enthusiastic about strengthening our relationship with University of Ottawa and to further increase our knowledge within team sports.—Max Strandwitz, CEO of MIPS

Very interesting.

And what about the VT test? It isn't a legal testing program. It's a study group that says they can test helmets and gives its proposed ratings on helmets based on testing methods that are not used by anyone else. Not the companies and not the 3 certification boards that actually certify helmets. I'm not repeating everything I have already written it's in the thread about the testing.

So I think we got it. You think it sucks.

Were all entitled to our opinions.

Well it sure sounded like it was a hard hit. And from the mark's I would say if he didnt have a concussion then the helmet did its job? If you and your son dont like it and you feel it sucks that's purely up to you. I was just answering the questions asked.

Yes I have read it. I have seen worse with a similar helmet from another company. Seemed like it was a pretty freak hit.

And?

With the figure skates we just put a hard guard on the blade and wrap tight.

Hahahaha. Wow that went south in a hurry. Is that a personal opinion or some facts in the testing and performance that you have??

Pretty sure it is. MIPS has been burned by both CCM and Bauer. Not sure why they would go away from True in hockey anyways. Other sports there in a ton of different brands. But highly doubt that will change in hockey.

They cant. True signed an exclusive deal.
