Congrats Badger. Fallon is a great company. Good luck and stay safe out there...

Try going to the next shallower hollow for your next skate. My first skate on mine on 3/4's felt as if I was skating on a 1/2". Took me a few skates to overcome that, but now have them dialed in.

Just use a thin writing instrument and avoid angling inwards or outwards excessively and should you be all set. It's easy to overthink the tracing.

And if you do notice a difference it can easily be fixed with profiling.

Needs wax, sealant, and then a coating!

Hoping this is your last hurdle... Good luck on your recovery from surgery!

Good luck with the procedure...We're all pulling for you!

Sorry to hear about Chico. He will forever be a part of MSH.

Only because you can't find your old Cooper SK-20!

Yes, performance will be pretty much the same. The changes listed were made to address some issues that some wearers experienced. Those that I know that went from Mako to Mako II like them even more...

Not knocking it, but when I tried it I felt the glide was the same as FBV, but I felt the edge control using FBV was better than that of the Z-Channel. I would however take the Z over Blademaster's flat bottom version.

I don't have a problem with the way VT did the testing but do take exception to their inference that every player suffers a number of concussions each season. That's what sets the fear of every parent in motion. My hope is that studies like this help direct the R & D to further improvements, which as a consumer I have confidence that it will. What will probably not change is that you will continue to have those customers that: 1) Will buy the most expensive helmet regardless of fit because it must be the most protective based on the price tag. 2) Will buy the cheapest helmet regardless of fit because they do not want to spend money on a helmet 3) Will buy the one that they think they look better in regardless or price and fit. Retailers should just stick with recommending helmet based on fit and hope the consumer takes the information presented into their decision making process.

Catalog shows it being available for sizes 4 through 5.5.

Painful...Hate to see stuff like that on anyones' vehicle.

While I like the concept there's no way I can see myself veering away from the FBV cut. Where does the wheel start and end? Is it engineered to prevent the toe and heel from being shaved and banana'd over time?

You forgot to factor in return shipping charges...

I'm lucky to have several AMT (adaptive motion trainers) at my gym. I like it better than ellipticals since it allows a free stride as if running without any impact on your joints. Used to love running but with an artificial joint those days are over.

Returning to the game after having hip replacement surgery 6-months ago.

If it makes you feel better you have my vote for ugliest car dashboard....

Maybe some other shop guys can answer the durability question for you. I haven't seen that many pairs out there nor as it been out long enough to know for sure. As for stiffness, I really haven't noticed a difference from trying them on. There's also one model lower than the M8 that's coming out this Spring.

Carbon-fiberglass in the M8 as opposed to the carbon-composite in the II leading to the Mako II being slightly lighter. I've noticed better molding in the Mako II over the M8. Not sure whether it's perception or reality though.

Never surrender... I want MORE!

How can you not offer lifts on a "custom" skate?
