    I was all set to test out a couple tapered blades until I got to the $38 for standard shipping.

    An 11 year old shouldn't be put on an intense workout program.

    Strange, I just looked at the site and saw the Reign LT, Supernatural, and Nasty shafts listed.

    Many of the so-called elite teams are just money grabs for the people running them and a pain in the ass for the parents shuffling their kids all over lord knows where.

    I would expect Bauer customs in Europe would follow the same process as those in North America.

    It really picked up steam this time around. Your participation trophy is in the mail.

    Nook and cranny, now I'm craving a Thomas' english muffin.

    My recommendation, call again and get it escalated. If they continue to refuse then go thru their appeals and grievances process. It might be a pain but it could get the result you're looking for. You can probably even get the doctor to advocate for you.

    I think you'd be surprised at how little "custom" there is in many pros custom skates.

    That is exactly what the second sentence you quoted recommends.

    From what I've read this whole cryptocurrency thing looks like nothing more than smoke and mirrors to me. The only reason it goes up is because people believe it will and not because it is backed by anything tangible. I think it is just a matter of time before the cryptocurrencies have their Black Tuesday.

    I think the answer is it is still individual, otherwise every NHLer except the "heel to toe" guys (who are very few and far between) would all be in the same skate.

    The Race to Outrage always has plenty of participants.

    And because shops have inventories of the other brands, they can potentially intercept a bad skate before a customer purchase. I'm sure there are those cases where an employee opens a box for someone to try on only to have that employee or the customer notice something off about the skate. The solution there can be to simply grab another pair of that skate out of the backroom. Obviously, that option isn't available with a custom skate. Early on I was a critic of the VH skate as there seemed to be a significant number of issues cropping up but as time has gone on there seem to be less and less issues. To the outside observer it would appear that they have listened and made great strides in initial quality.

    Considering how much time elapsed between the skates coming out of the oven and finally getting them on and tied, it is no wonder that the fit doesn't feel right yet.
  16. chippa13
    No reason it shouldn't.
  17. chippa13
    And there shouldn't be much of that happening with more of the holders having uniform hole patterns.

    While you may not want to settle, I would recommend that you take an "add some experience to your resume" position for a year or two. It is always easier to find a job when you have a job.

    I'm guessing he is referring the the standard white color accents on the side of the boot.

    Let's not bring race into this.
  21. chippa13
    If you can't rely on someone sharpening your skates at a consistently high level then it doesn't matter if the pitch is built into the boot or done with profiling/lifts. A butchered pitch of the blade by a sharpener will negate whatever original setup you had.

    I say make them hop in the DeLorean.

    Strangely, I found the new K line gave me better volume and forefoot room than the Tacks line.
  24. chippa13
    This is definitely a fair point.

    If you wanted to spend more time in port then I'd recommend trying a NY to Bermuda itinerary. Those generally give you a day or two at sea each way and then 3 days/2 nights docked at Bermuda. If you're looking for less glitz then you'd need to step up a couple of rungs on the cruising ladder to Princess/Celebrity/Holland. Every step you go up in price you lose in riff raff on board.
