    Actually I have stated numerous times about the sub standard or incorrect head forms they are using that do not meet the standard of which all other bodies use to test the helmets. They have made up there own forms and used neck forms that are made for other helmets and other sports. Cant be much clearer than that.

    Can't wait to see the see the results. That happens when a company wont send a helmet to be tested VT then had to purchase all the helmets
  3. oldtrainerguy28
    Ya cause the VT test means anything when it comes to safety. Completely useless and such a croc.

    Wow. God sharpeners? And actually it is an art. Offended? Not at all. But when someone like myself that always is looking to improve the way they do things and always is out to help a new sharpener, if it is a parent or an employee kind of a slap to some of us that's for sure. Some of the people I have trained are now. 2 in the OHL: 1 Team Canada 1 Team China (Highest paid female EQM in the world) I take a ton of pride in my job as a sharpener and educator. You want to bash the guys that have been doing it forever go right ahead. Oh, wait that's what Sparx did when they started in their very first Ad Campaign. (Use our machine Pro Shops are useless) I was hoping to come on this thread now and help educate some of the lesser experienced sharpeners as I have had 3 customers that have ruined their steel with a Sparx machine. Seems like the knowledge is not required. Next time maybe use a little less of a wide brush when painting all the experienced sharpeners on the board. Especially the ones that have been here since DAY 1 and before. Have an amazing day!!!! 🙂

    Even more so with the Wanna Be sharpeners at home that read a few things here and there and call themselves experts yet have never actually sharpened a skate in real life. There are some great parents that really do try and do a great job and have only distant access to a real professional. Or maybe their town doesn't really have one.

    So surprised it took that long for someone to actually answer the question correctly. If you skate on that part of the blade front or back your already on the ground. Its impossible to skate on either portion. Lower the wheel and don't waiste the steel. It only further reduces a good profile you may have.

    Sounds like a major fit error on the scan. Never had that issue. Not that small anyway. But not sure who they were able to refund? Very odd mentioned.
  9. oldtrainerguy28
    What shop was this??
  10. oldtrainerguy28
    Not sure where you see an argument and especially quoting me about me thinking Daryl is a great guy? It just so happens I have worked with him for 3 years every summer. I don't agree with his technique but learned why and how he does it and at the end, we agreed that there is good and bad doing this way. Where is the argument?
  11. oldtrainerguy28
    Amazing man. So nice to chat with. And an amazing skater.
  12. oldtrainerguy28
    But you cant play a game with no laces so while strengthening may happen it's not practical. Its interesting
  13. oldtrainerguy28
    But shouldn't the blades be realigned properly to do this? Doing this on skates with bad alignment makes zero sense? Aligned yes....
  14. oldtrainerguy28
    You need to go to LA. Daryl Evan's I believe his name is skates with no laces at all. Great teacher and awesome gentlemen. I personally disagree but after talking for hours with him we came to a mutual understanding of the bio mechanics and his theory.
  15. oldtrainerguy28
    Probably referring to the steel. Although I did 2 weeks for holders. Back log.
  16. oldtrainerguy28
    I'd say they are most similar to the XL2000 molded tip.
  17. oldtrainerguy28
    Correct. The new material imo lasts longer and is more durable
  18. oldtrainerguy28
    10000% agree. Here are some straight up facts about all 3. True. QC isnt where it needs to be. Bauer. Absolutely the worst for blade alignment. CCM. The worst for protection although for the right foot comfortable. As @Nicholas G says you just have to pick your poison.

    I'm at 970 and counting. I rarely see these glue issues. My issues are forgotten embroidery and that's been maybe 5 or 6 times?
  20. oldtrainerguy28
    No they do not. Just a moldable foam. 😉
  21. oldtrainerguy28
    I disagree. Had 2 high level guys had them since last Christmas and no issues with shot blocking. And the best part was less wear...
  22. oldtrainerguy28
    what size?
  23. oldtrainerguy28
    I'm pretty stocked on XS black and regular I'm sure most others are y now as well as Nash had a bunch months ago. And no issues shipping if not in Canada. (If not available where you are)
  24. oldtrainerguy28
    CCM XS has been out for a full season at Pro level. I haven't heard of a single issue. From what I cam tell and have been told the tower is stronger in the back on the XS and the blade movement after a season is relatively non existent compared to the B Trigger. My son had then since Christmas and just took them off for the new True holder. So far liking both. Although the True is lighter with the shorter blade. He doesnt seem to feel any difference at the moment. So all is good. I'd highly recommend the XS if your wanting the taller steel and quick release.

    Pro Sharp with Diamond Wheel. IMO. More sharpens and more consistant. Do you have diamond wheels on them now??
