Once I get the mockup you guys will see them.

Looks like I'm jumping on the Warrior custom bandwagon. Will look different than pretty much all of these :)

How's the thickness?

What palm are those? Kangaroo goat?

Not to sound like a shill, but let's think about this... Those two things usually don't go together. It's either "tons of glide, no bite" or "tons of bite, no glide." Give it a couple of skates, a few people are experiencing a learning curve.

Latest update - I put a good friend of mine on it - he was one of Laura Stamm's original instructors and I was very curious to see what he thought. Got a phone call and while I barely understood him because I was at the Daytona 500, all I heard was "HOLY SHIT WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY SKATES?" and then VROOOOOOOOOOM as the cars went by...LOL I'll talk to him tomorrow and find out what is up.

I practiced in the mirror for you, but my accent crept in on the video version. K9, thanks for posting the link...I hope it helps explain our line a little better. Nah man you looked good. Gotta keep the brown people in the hockey business in the limelight.

Miseaujeu must've practiced that whole presentation over and over again because that was the same one he gave me! :P

That IS the retail price - X01/X02 is geared to end users, not stores.

It's one of those situations in which if you make one change, it changes everything else.

I KNOW If I *knew* how to fix it, we wouldn't be having this issue. But I don't.

Just hover over the black square when you scroll down. You will see Download File.

That information is not out yet, and it won't be for some time.

It's been shown to pros. It's probably being used as we speak.

Can be done on X01 as well. Goodguy - Get An Edge at the Orchard Lake St-Mary's/Royal Oak rink is the only store in Metro Detroit that is set up for FBV. Tell Steve I sent ya.

Seriously, guys, if you need to find out what store is doing FBV, CALL THEM YOURSELF. Think about it. Let's say SAK sold a store some FBV discs. He doesn't work there - he has no idea if they are in use.

If you're starting out, definitely get the accessory package. Use BOTH lube tube and fine shine - they both have their purpose. FBV mini-spinners aren't listed yet. I tell ya what, I'm been sharpening a bit lately - I must admit I was out of the physical rhythm as it had been pretty much 9 months since I was sharpening on a regular basis. I'm helping out at my old store part-time this past week so I've done about 100 pair this week on their standard sharpener (and my back is hating me for it). I haven't touched the X02 in a week. I saw an old client of mine and I told him about the FBV so I took his skates home today. It was truly scary.

I'm actually not a fan of them, but I agree that it provides some interesting opportunities moving forward. Yea, if you want Warrior gloves definitely get the Franchises. I think I prefer the Creeper. Haven't decided.

LOL, I would hope he would. thl - I'll call you tomorrow. Been a while.

Um, no, I sent it to you to mess with you if you could figure out what they really were, and you couldn't.

http://www.modsquadhockey.com/forums/index...s&showcat=9 Gloves - The new model for 2009 is the P88, which is essentially a mashup of Eagle and a certain Vaughn glove of old. Wide fit as well as a 4-piece finger side guard, it comes with a nash palm with MSH2 overlay. Pants - The X88 comes with a 400D outer with leg zippers, with a wicking internal liner. Domestic pant available to US dealers, something you don't see anymore. The girdle is essentially the old Conquest girdle - should do well for those who want that traditional lace-up girdle which is so hard to find nowadays. Everything else carries over from last year...however some of the glove prices did go down and some are reporting it isn't feeling the same as last year's glove. We'll see.

Are we still going on about the V* 10k? God.

Hustler is topping out at $99 I believe
