Is the person that sharpens your skates blind?

I already got them, their basically a modified drury. Curve is about the same depth but the loft is decreased slightly. Lie is about a 5. Dont tell Chadd!!!

Sherwood nice R2. I've got a RLxn10 comming from buzz in a few days. That teamed with my new custom easton wood blades should be mint.

First time ive seen the lid with a cage on it, doesn't look all that bad.

That's enough -

You can tell immediately a guy has sick dangles when you step in the locker room and it looks like there's a golf ball stuck in the bottom of his mouth. :D

touche. I could never understand the dirtbags I played with over the years that would leave their stuff in their bags over night, closed no less.

Do you play in the AHL? :D

Its a work in progress, I'm going to try it again with a candycane on it since im so used to grip sticks.

So I pretty much have the best equipment on here... helmet: Bauer 4000 with Jofa 480 Chrome Shoulder: Nike v12 Elbow: Nike v12 Shin: Jofa 9090 Pants: Bauer 6000 Gloves: Eagle CP94 Custom nylon with split fingers/Vapor XXX Skates: Custom D/AAA Vapor XXX Sticks: 85 Drury Si Core Grips/Jokinen 87 XXX

Yep, just a little bit deeper knee bend and your golden. You look like a Milan Hejduk clone with that helmet on. :D Any previous skating experience beforehand?

The lid needs to go...ill take the cage off your hands if you need help getting rid of it. :D

Ugliest candy cane i've ever seen on that RLXn10. :D Sick stick though. :D

The 6000s are unreal.

Reviewer's Stats 5'9 170 Used about 6 times a week. Introduction - As you guys know, I've used just about everything under the sun, and I couldn't resist an opportunity to try at Bauer's latest and greatest for a very generous price. I picked up a 6.5d, same size as my 8090s and a half size down from my 7d XX's. Fit - All I have to say about the initial fit is...ouch! These things absolutely killed my feet at first despite feeling quite sweet in the shop. Once I punched the forfoot out, they began to feel much, much better. This is obviously subjective, and if a Vapor XX fit you without problems, the XXX should be as good, if not better. 6/10 (Personal Preference. Blade/Holder - I have grown to love the Lightspeed, and the LS2 is easily the best version of the holder. I find the steel holds an edge slightly longer, and the new hardware makes maintenance that much easier. 10/10 Weight - It doesn't get lighter than this, but that doesn't necessarily mean thats a good thing... 10/10. Protection - The ultra stiff quarters make for an extremely protective boot. I've taken a multitude of shots and passes of the boot, and can't feel a thing. 10/10 Durability - What Happened??? After about a month and a half of skating, they are completely shot. My New Balances have more stiffness. Stitching is falling out, the outsole is becoming disconected from the boot. At an MSRP of $450 US, I'd expect a little bit more than 45 days of life out of the boot. (2/10) Conclusion - I am already out of these and back into my 8090s. The awful durability, combined with the fact that the boot isn't that much different than the XX outside of the new liner, doesn't warant the price of admission. Overall 7/10

i couldn't tell you after a week of using them

i might be ordering a pair of 8090 customs with the LS2, god damn the XXX hype machine. I always tell myself not to give in, and of course the xxx is not for me.

ill have pics of my customs up tomarow night. I feel like a complete tool because i thought the order was cancelled, so i bought a pair of XX's but my customs came in anyway. Not a bad predicament to have eh?

Markku's?

Helmet - Bauer 4000 - light, comfortable Cage - Jofa 480 Chrome - provides the best vision with a cage imo Shoulders - v12 - lightest, most comfortable pad out there with half decent protection elbow - v12 - same as shoulder shins - v12 - common trend here, i absolutely love the nike protective in terms of weight and fit. pants - tackla 8000 girdle - fits like a glove, great protection gloves - nylon cp94 customs - the mitts to end all mitts sticks - P19 xn10 w, 85 si core grip, 100 sakic stealth skates - bauer 8090 - see review

thats the risk with ordering with eagle period, we have multiple customers that have been waiting over 4 months for custom eagles. They work very slow.

ambro those are brutal

JR has his hookups.

WEAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are they even nylon?
