    There's a lot going on with the tongue. At the very beginning I felt that there was too much felt where it begins at the toecap. I've had mine for almost a year now and that area has compressed significantly. If I don't like what next year's new Supreme offers I'll just pick up another pair of 2S Pro's.

    I've had MX3's, 1S's and 2S Pro's with the injected eyelets. I'm a big fan of them and feel that they maintain their flex properties better than traditional facing/eyelets over the life of the skate.

    Bauer's clone of the Easton Roenick Pro.

    They are softer and squishy to me. Carbon is the way I would go if going SuperFeet.

    Spot on...

    Doesn't sound like the best business model.

    I've seen it with Step in cases where the skater just throws soakers on the skates and then they going-the bag and stay there until the next ice time. Problem of not taking care of your skates and steel. Certainly not the fault of Step.

    If you're referring to a MyBauer custom the following link pretty much says it all:

    Bauer uses it in the ankle area of the Mission FZ-0 inline skate. Mission FZ-0

    One other thing you can try is SuperFeet (Carbon's) footbeds in the Supreme. SuperFeet offers a 60-day money back satisfaction guarantee sorting them out would be risk free. Just trim them to the footbeds that came with the S180's. While I wouldn't call the N2900 a soft boot the S180 is a stiffer boot with the composite (CURV) quarter package.

    I've seen it all. Skaters with the shallow/low volume foot skating in a high volume skate and those with a high volume foot in a low volume skate. That and in skates way too big. I tell customers that the scanner recommends best fit or primary fit. Everyone has a secondary fit. You just have to have a fitter who knows what he/she is doing and knows how to read the scan and scanner. Recommended sizing is a good starting point, but skater preference plays a role in final sizing,

    Not really sure I have the right answers for you. CAGONE bases their profiling recommendations on runner size. I skate in 254mm runners so going by CAGONE the longest flat spot for 254's would be 40mm. I tried ProSharp's system and out of the ones I tried I liked the triple and quad profiles, but in the end went back to a 35/65 done on a Pro Skate Balance machine. I've been told that a 35/65 correlates to a 13.5' radius. Using that information other glide spots should come out to this: 60mm = 13' 50mm = 12' 40mm = 11' 30mm = 10' 20mm = 9'

    Correct on the 1X Pro. I'd give the edge to the FT1 if it has D30 in the fingers too.
  14. mojo122
    Not that I know of. I was told it was to expensive to use in the fingers. I think if there was it would be well know from a marketing standpoint.
  15. mojo122
    Poron is pricey and I've only seen it used in the back hand of the glove. I'm guessing that D30 would be the same since it's a licensed product just like poron.

    Depends upon the stick build. Low kick has options of extra stiff, stiff, and medium. Mid kick has stiff, medium, and soft. High kick has medium, soft, and extra soft.
  17. mojo122
    Supreme is a shallower boot whereas the Vapor has more volume.
  18. mojo122
    The goal of most retailers is not to fit you to level of one's play and what is best, but rather to put you or your child in the most expensive skate you willing to pay for.

    A few questions: What size are the skates? What size footwear do you normally wear? Did they have the 3D Skate Lab and scan your feet?
  20. mojo122
    Better footbed and a better attachment system for the tendon guard.
  21. mojo122
    What size is that? I weighed the size 8 sample skate with the new holder and steel and it came in at 750 grams. Skate needs a couple of more improvements IMO, but the weight reduction is a good one.
  22. mojo122
    Locking mechanism looks solid. With profiling and sharpening you're probably going to go through steel with the lower profile runner quickly.
  23. mojo122
    Just my thoughts...while you certainly don't want him in a skate too stiff you also don't want him in a skate too soft. Both of those can hold him back.
  24. mojo122
    I'd agree with what you've said here. Right now you see a lot of P92 variants because that's what the pros grew up using. So having gotten them to where they are they just make some tweaks here and there. The newest trend is towards the P28 curve so that will probably eventually take over. There are some of us on this forum who grew up using Easton Iginla, Modano, and Drury curves. 2 of the those are gone while the 3rd is on its way out.
  25. mojo122
    Guess it all depends on how old the steel was and the expertise of the sharpener(s).
