  1. Just got a late xmas present from my uncle...he is a personal trainer down in the cities, and got me this stick...isn't the best stick, but made up for it by getting it autographed by marion gaborik :D
  2. LOL...i was playing around with the forums, seeing what different coding it would let me use...i fixed it now :P
  3. Went and picked up a new twig today, first Easton ever. Sr. Synergy ST, Sakic, 85flex Full Size (1024x768) Full Size (1024x768)
  4. Just got in the new gloves I ordered from my lhs... The white and black looks awesome in person!
  5. coming from a customers point of view, a tip is only worth what you think the value of a persons service is. I have been to restaurants before and left no tip or tipped the person that did help me which was not necessarily my waiter/waitress. Same thing goes for a business like the LHS. They provide you a service. If you feel they have done a good job, and/or gone out of their way to help you, maybe you feel like they should be compensated a little extra for their time that they could have been making money by helping another customer but took care of you instead. I recently had problems with my one90 skates not fitting right, and needed new ones. The guy spent almost 2 hours with me trying different skates and just bs'ing about things. When all was said and done, i bought a new pair of vapor xxxx's, he baked them twice and sharpened/profiled them for me, and gave me $40 off the purchase price of the skates. He then offered if I couldnt sell my one90's for what they were worth (street value) he would go to bat with the owner and give me as much as he possibly could for a trade in. Well, I ended up selling the old skates to someone i know, but for the guy's trouble and generosity of knowledge and time, I went back to the store specifically to thank him for his help and gave him a $40 tip. I think that is the kind of service customers should expect from their LHS, and I think the people that work at them and work hard to be knowledgeable in their business should be rewarded fairly. Just like TBL said, most of the guys are college/high school and can use every little bit extra they can get. But that is just my 2cents.... sorry for the novel, lol
  6. just picked up a set of vapor xxxx skates, now i need to get rid of my one90 skates....dont need to be sitting on over $1000 worth of skates
  7. Well, the One90's just didnt want to cooperate with my feet, so just picked up the new XXXX skates... so far, so good...
  8. LOL...i actually had a pair of Vapor XIV in between the old triumphs and the One90's. :lol:
  9. I spose i could post mine now that i got around to takin pics.... The old skool bauers...got em from my dad, these are what i learned to skate on.... here are skates an sticks...
  10. good cars when a turbo kit is added...pretty lacking in power until you get way up in the rpms...i've driven one with a greddy turbo kit and it made a world of difference...
