Getting back into ice hockey after playing roller for years. I've been looking for a good pair of skates but didn't want to drop loads of cash on them...Solution - worked out what fit (got wide feet!), tried a few on, and found a place here that still sold Bauer 8090s. They're awesome. Paid less than I would have for middle-of-the-road 2009 model skates, and I reckon they're better, despite being "older" models. They fit like gloves, are seemingly built like tanks and everyone around here seemed to think very highly of them...
:D
Here they are.
hey, you mind telling us what the name of this shop you got these at? i wouldn't mind finding another pair (12d). thanks.

uh oh, no more 18" shins. better stock up on old stuff.

Here are my new skates. We'll see how they do tomorrow. I'm nervous because I have (pretty much) only skated in Tacks. I am a T-Blade freak so when HockeyMonkey finally showed the crabon frames available, I had to get them. Of course, by the time I had ordered new skates to put them on, they didn't have my size frame in the carbon weave (nor did anyone else advertising them) so I had to settle for the gloss black carbon frames. It may be for the better. Sucks that you can only get runners in white right now (in any reasonable spec, old black ones are out there.) I was going to go all black but that looked stupid with white runners so white boot it was. Big ups to Chris (chikinpotpie on here, I think) who handled the tricky mounting job beautifully. The LHS here was scared to do them so James convinced me to send them all the way to Indy for Chris to do them and it was worth it. Matching Warrior gloves should be here this week. These should look great with our "Panda-Style" jerseys when they come.
chris rocks the mad skills with the skate building. flash and dash son.

Daddy Got some new wheels.
Thanks to Malcb33 for the boots. Put the LS's on and padded the tongue with figure skate padding and a lamb's wool insert. So comfy.
yes! i knew you'd rock the dark side soon enough. good work my friend.

here are my custom mia's i got last month.
15" mb22s with normal short cuff and 1/2" longer fingers
black tufftek shell with carbon stripes
pro plastic inserts throughout
microvent digital palms
i never thought i'd rock custom gloves, let alone mias, but my teammate (mikael1052) talked me into when we got are kick ass team jerseys. the gloves are fantastic thus far. first time any glove has fit my mammoth hands and long fingers comfortably. very light weight, mobile, and highly protective. my only gripe so far is that the palms are almost too sticky when using a soft grip coated stick. i went back to using a candy-caned taped non-grip stick for the time being until i can get used to the gloves with a grip stick. overall, very happy with my purchase despite being a little pricey in the end. too bad mia wouldn't put warrior on the gloves instead like the pro action. great gloves.

White Nike with T blades... brands spanking new...I also changed the runner to white.
crazy full on storm tropper skates. interesting.
...ha, your avy is lame. poser! j/k
-
^its throughout the catalog
i was hoping for a novius grip replacement. the nipple grip looks like another spin on polarfibre; which imo was lame. may have to stock up on soft grip dolomites/ak27s if they quit making those.
-
Again with the black holders. First Custom+ (PAGE 130) then Tblades (PAGE 142) and now Lightspeeds.
These were a special make-up for a buddy of mine
those chris's? that's pretty freakin' hot. you need to swap those holders on your grafs. you're losing the style war at pan am.
-
thanks for the comments. yeah, i thought about the black laces too, but i thought it might be too much black. maybe later if i get bored with them. right now i'm more focused on having to re-learn to skate on these coming off skating a year on lightspeeds. so far, i'm pretty happy with the change.
-
haha, hey they were dry at least!
-
had these mounted today. darth vader 8090/tuuk+ action. much respect to chris (should be lurking around here) for his work:
word.

i'm sure, once again, that i'll never be able to fit into the skates. the intake helmet looks great. can anyone that's tried it on compare it to the fit of itech's hc100? i liked my hc100, but it was too narrow for my charlie brown head. i'm hoping the intake fits a little wider because its hard to pass up at only 100 duckets. that silver color looks nice.

those are the old graphics. its just a sticker.

Surplus
those l7's look much better than the retails.
-
Do all of those blades have the Whitney pattern? Also what curve is that inno?about half whitney, half kariya, a shanahan, a couple inno nashes, an inno fedorov, and various ccm and easton wood blades.

hell i'm bored; here's what is worth taking pictures of:

Me playing in Narch Summers '04Nice! Someone that still uses the old mission injection gloves, those were great IMO.
man i love those mission gloves
hell, i'm still rockin' them too. i went back to them from my response gloves. i think injections have one of the best range of motion of any glove. and the look pretty sweet too (especially the black/red/silver one's). if they had plastic inserts they'd be incredible.

this thread got jacked...

I saw the line today and liked most of it. The Ribeiro is a heel as far as I can tell. It looks just about perfect to me.5'ish lie?
-
JustinHow dare you make a curve that I like and put a name like Ribeiro on it? Tell me it's a 5 or lower lie, please.
someone seriously needs to make a good curve with a lie under 5.
would custom size 14 L-series skates cost major bank (if its even possible to get them)?
-
i'm i right in assuming that the ls2 system will be throughout the vapor and supreme lines, or just the top skates?
-
damn those are hot. i dig how the silver strip continues along the side of the yellow index finger. small detail, but good stuff. those have plastic inserts in them?
-
(plus they made 18 inch ones)jesus Harry, tell all the Hendersons i said hello, would ya ;)
ha!! don't make me step on you.

helmet: itech hc100 - light and fits my mellon of a head
visor: itech concept II full shield dremeled into a half shield - good coverage
shoulder pads: cooper techniflex - good protection and light (never need to wear though)
elbow pads: jofa 8025 - forearm only; light and very protective
gloves: tps response - great glove, but first gen cuffs have no protection (added wrist protection myself)
pants: cooper (no clue what model; old as hell) - great movement, not much protection though
shin pads: jofa 8090 - after knee surgery, there was no other choice. fantastic protection. not bulky at all for me. (plus they made 18 inch ones)
skates: bauer 5000 (99-00'ish model) - great fit and black tuuks
sticks: inno 1100 w/s. kariya z-carb, inno 1100 tapered w/whitney synth, and green t-flex w/whitney z-carb.
