No big deal but I found these Easton gloves in a sale box for $10.00. They had been part of a dispaly in a glass case for years and were in new condition but pretty dusty. I kind of like the way they look with my Vectors. Rick

Fatwabbit, You certainly have a bunch of sweet looking conversions. How do you decide which ones to skate? Rick- 2845 replies

Custom Skates / Ice to Inline Conversion
Rick replied to cougarscaptain87's topic in Roller Hockey Equipment
Sprungs are just the best. I have tried a bunch of chassis and thought I had found the ultimate set-up with Red Star but when I went to the Sprungs I knew I could never go back. My boys still skate rigid chassis and I like the looks of several of the rigid chassis offerings but I won't go back. Rick- 2845 replies

I still have a pair of 552 Tacks with the black Sherwood/Redstar E-Frames. The thing I like about them over other hi/lo set-ups is how close to the surface you ride in a pretty neutral pitch. A nicely built and attractive frame. Rick- 2845 replies

I really dig the green/red gloves also. I have always liked the gloves with unusual colors. I bought a set of Cooper leather pro stock gloves years ago that are bright yellow and chocolate brown with white trim but I have never been able to find out what team they were made for. Possibly minor or college I guess. Rick

I love the green E-Frames chassis. Before I switched to Sprungs my E-Frames were my favorite set-up. I have the silver version and the black Sherwwod E-Frames and I have seen the gold version they made for Easton but those are really cool. Nice Skates and welcome. Rick- 2845 replies

Not trying to hijack the thread but a while back we got a new sporting good store in our area that actually carries hockey gear. It was cool at first and I bought a few small things like laces, pucks, tape and even a couple of cheaper wooden sticks but for the most part they have lower level gear and the prices are about the highest I have seen for example $75 bucks for a $49 dollar helmet/cage combo (anywhere online) . I would like to support a local operation but I am not going to buy low end gear at mid to high end prices. The funny thing is I was at the store the other day and an employee said that they were considering not carrying hockey gear next year because it wasn't selling very well. I told him that the prices are just too high and told him that most guys I know order online and he acted mad about that and said that the online companies are killing the business. I can understand when the shops get mad because guys come in to get sized and try on skates and then order online because they can get the skates cheaper but the truth of the matter is I would buy more from them but when I can get better gear at a lower price even after paying shipping and handling thats what I am going to do. This might make shop owners mad but I work for my money just like everyone else. Rick

Love the look of those gloves Fletch but man my first car in 1983 didn't cost $300 and it was a classic. A 1972 grey primered Grimlin with AM/FM sterio and like 70 or 80 thousand miles on it. But honestly I would rather have the gloves. Just bustin your chops those are cool. Rick

Those really do look sweet. That white Mission chassis looks like it was made for that boot. Rick- 2845 replies

Custom Skates / Ice to Inline Conversion
Rick replied to cougarscaptain87's topic in Roller Hockey Equipment
I still have the Tacks for sure. Everything I have converted to Sprungs I did with T-Nuts and bolts so I can take the chassis off and put it on something else then put it back on whenever I want. I have like 4 sets of skates with the T-Nuts still in place and no chassis so all I have to do is switch the Sprungs from one boot to another. Still gotta love those Tacks...... Rick- 2845 replies
