No. Oh, another FYI - those who want APX, will have to wait til June to get their order SUBMITTED, not finished. And they shut down the factory in July. Keep that in mind.

Your twin brother, huh...

The TotalONE pant is EXACTLY the same pant as the ONE95, but with a yellow lining. And really, must you quote his pictures? Waiiiit...Nicklo...didn't we ban you years ago? I'm pretty sure it was you...it is...

Blackstone Flat-Bottom V Thread

And people have left their feedback in this exact thread. One can look back and read and see what they have posted. But once again, find out for yourself, and report back - pay it forward. That's the point of a forum. -
Blackstone Flat-Bottom V Thread

Why don't you just go along for the ride and find out for yourself? I'm trying hard not to be rude, but sometimes you just need to take a leap of faith and make your own assessment. Everyone's mileage varies on what they believe to be a sharp edge. -
Did you see 7.0 mentioned in my earlier post? No. That means they are not offered. Yes. The FL is a taller boot, some may like that as well.

Just spoke to Bauer - for US Retail accounts the options will be T1, FL4.0P, and APX. Vapor X:60 will still be offered until components run out.
-
Yes.
-
Right; T1 Classic is not available to US Retail accounts. Has to be done through a pro account.

I don't do witness marks. I may mate it to the wheel if someone used the holder before me. If I have the holder pretty much tuned I'll just sharpen away and follow the spark displacement. That just comes with experience. -
For the last time, before I shitcan this thread, let's keep it to just pictures...

The sizing is only a reference; it is a starting point. They are going to go by the traces at the end of the day. It depends on the retailer. There is a cost to the custom skates; the retailer can charge WHATEVER THEY WANT. When I did it, the upcharge was about $75 on top of what the retail skate cost, so I would just charge $75 extra. But if a retailer wants to make money on the upcharge, he's well within his right to. There's not a set price. That all being said, totally forgot about this; for instance, a custom Flexlite 4.0 Pro does not fall under the whole "skate price plus +$75" theory. A custom Flexlite 4.0 Pro costs $10 more to a dealer than a custom X:60 does. Bauer restructured their skate prices for 2011. That is pretty much the only model that is like that.
-
Sorry that your LHS sucks, but yes, Flexlite can be ordered custom. And an X:60 in the $400 range...no...that's not even cost. Matter of fact, should be getting the ones I did for a client in a couple of days.

Yep. 2 and a half years. Neither have the people I sharpen for. Every single one has stayed with it. Went back to ROH once for testing purposes (which I recommend to all who try FBV and skate on it for a while, the results will surprise you.) You have to be dead accurate on a FBV, and if you are not, the results can be disastrous. I believe that to be the case with the quotes above. -

People who have axes to grind (no pun intended) Why not try it out for yourself? The benefits are there. -

Resize your pic before I pull it down. 1600 pixels is overkill.

9 you're fine, 10 you're mine.

Honestly thought I would get the shakes, but it wasn't that bad! Am slowly getting caught up with the world; had no idea my NCAA bracket was busted to shreds.

Took a week off from technology - no phone/internet/MSH. In the 10 years that I've been an admin or moderator of a message board, I've never missed more than two days.

My nephew was born early this morning. So now I have two nephews who are going to go to the NHL. LOL

So true!

Sweet, I can get your IP and track you down and steal your car now that you have all told us this.

I always have a spare in my wallet. The flat cheap ones just to get the door open.

Trolls.
