Spree, that truck is a beauty. Great pick.

I'm going to take a long shot guess and say you play for Orland Park?

Here is my newest pair (ice-inline conversion).
Best conversion I've used to date.
Boot: Stealth s11
Chassis: Mission MG
Wheels: Front 2=Dynasty's, 3rd wheel=Millenniums, Last Wheel=Revisions
Bearings: Swiss

Sprungster I completely agree. This is my 2nd set of Vapor boots I've converted, the first being a pair of Vapor XXs. They are really the only boot I've found to fit me that doesn't hurt. With that, the plus of them being light and pretty damn stiff I think they great conversion skates. I just liked how the design of the boot and the Vanguard went together. I wish the Trinity wheels came in black or white, but I could care less about the lime green. They are by far the best wheels I've used to date.
I'd eventually like to get set up on a pair of XXXXs but that will probably be my next project once these wear out.
I need to give the new Sprungs a shot though, the first gen for some reason I felt weren't sturdy enough for how hard I skate. I'll probably be buying a set in the near future to try on my Wicked 1s.

Should work fine now. Not the best picture but still decent. If anyone wants anymore let me know and I can upload some more.
-
As promised earlier, my new set-up: Bauer Vapor XXX boots paired with the MG Vanguard Chassis with Swiss Bearings and Hyper Trinity wheels.
-
Will have pics later for you guys but I dropped my new pair of XXX boots off at the LHS today to be converted on some black MG Vanguards with some brand new hyper trinities and swiss bearings.
Should have pics up Wednesday after I pick them up.
-
Only problem I ever had with wearing mine like that ( don't wear anything anymore since I don't play competitive ) but when I would get hit hard the chin cup would slam down pretty hard and could gash the chin in general or under it kind of easy.
As far as that goes though, there's no other way to wear a cage.
-
CapsFan where did you get those all black XXXs? Those are sick and I've been trying to find a pair of all black XXXs forever.
-
TC, not going to lie, those new uni's are dirty.
Also, sick MIA's. The more and more I see them I'm about to break down and throw down some $$$ for some customs.
-
Everything XXXX....nice, how are the shins/elbows and gloves?
-
Those Silver Uni's are sick.
Good pics man.

Should have a couple pics of my latest set-up when it's complete in the next week and a half:
SyNergy 1200c Boots
Red Star Alloy Chassis
Revision Gold/Rink Rat Wheels
Swiss Lite Bearings
Again, as soon as they are converted and good to go, I'll try and get some pics up.

Kitay, I was also bidding on those gloves on eBay. I had them for cheap so I was like even if they don't match any uni's oh well still sick gloves and sick colors but the bidding got too high for my wallet.
Sick gloves and a sweet pick-up.
-
Does anyone know where I could find a Mission MG or a Red Star Alloy or E-Frame in a size medium?
-
People like that don't deserve to have a license at all.
-
Does anyone know if the Humm'er will work? Also, I've read with the option of obviously using the all 80mm wheel setup, that you can run straight 76mm and straight 72mm, if using another setup other than the all 80 would I still need to dremmel? (If so, how extensive is the dremmeling process?)
Thanks for any help!
-
Has anyone here skated religiously on converted SyNergy's? I have a pair of "custom" pro-ordered 1200c's from a junior team that I picked up on eBay brand new for about $150 that I was going to originally use to help coach my high school hockey team this year but now I have class at the same time as their practice so I'm seriously thinking about converting them for roller now.
If so, what chassis do you find to be the best to compliment the light weight of the boot and personally what chassis/bearings/wheels would you put on them?
Thanks for the help and advice, just looking for some ideas and suggestions.
-
Aussie Joe, I just ordered a pair of SyNergy 1200c's and you're not lying, probably the most comfortable boot out of the box I have ever worn. If I don't end up using them for ice as much as I expect (just doing some coaching and beer league) I'm going to convert them to roller and see how fantastic they'd be for roller.
-
Sprungster, I've been looking for some Type M replacement boots, is there another pair you could snag for me in a size 9/9.5?
If so, could you shoot me over a PM, thanks!

Wallin, those pants are sick.
-
Those XXXs are sick CapsFan.

Loving the look of those Sande's Chadd.

I agree with all the posts above, being from the midwest, playing AAA hockey the elite teams are the Little Caesar's/Honeybaked/Belle Tire/Victory Honda/Compuware...etc of course you Michigan'ers get all of them.
Teams are just ridiculous. I think the Little Caesar's uni's are dirty.
