Juggling the puck About to line up to shoot Yeah, he just had to pick the spot RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. I'm trying to take a pic of Chris Mason. :P Different version Scoring the goal in the scramble Waiting for a pass Suicide Suicide 2 OOF "OK, JR, I see you. Now stop taking pictures! GOON! You feel shame Spreedizzle made me do it Smile, TBLfan! My lil bro plays for the Lightning Okay, not really, but the resemblance is there Game over ...and onto the next town I have tons more, these are the ones I just quickly did up. It was a great experience, wore the Draft jersey, lots of Blues fans were questioning me on why it had 07 instead of 57, so I had to explain. One of the guys didn't believe me but guess he figured it out when the team got on the ice for the pregame skate and David slaps the glass right in front of me with his stick as he's skating on. Sum'bitch.

Blackstone Flat-Bottom V Thread
JR Boucicaut replied to JR Boucicaut's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
Wrong - Did a pair in Tampa yesterday. So, you can have a grill in the arena parking lot, but you can't sharpen skates in an arena parking lot? Because one number corresponds to the flatness of the blade and the other of the bite angle. 100 would mean that there's more of a flat, therefore, the edge on the 50 will be more pronounced than the same edge with a 90 flat. Make sense? -
I'm doing it now. Next time I get seats, I'll go behind the glass, or slightly higher. Spree and I sat 6 rows back dead center ice line.

Went to the game last night - sat 6 rows up dead center ice. I took 436 pictures...haha

The telling sign is that he was fine on synthetic and bad in the game. It's not the method, it's the edge. -
Blackstone Flat-Bottom V Thread
JR Boucicaut replied to JR Boucicaut's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
When I was up there I noticed most kids skated on old or pond skates, not their game skates. Ponds do quite a bit of damage to your blades, synthetic ice isn't easy on them either, especially if it's "pond hockey grade." I used to sharpen a lot of Disney parade skaters and they always get 3/8" and deeper. That's why you see a lot of kids getting them done after they have treadmill sessions - it destroys the edges. I strongly believe him blowing out on turns would've happened anyway, FBV OR standard hollow. -
Call them.

Nah, we just go way back is all.

Guys, keep in mind that the glove options that I have are not available at "retail" customization. So, you can't request them because they will not be fulfilled. Just want to put that out there and I appreciate Warrior for doing them for me.

They were, for certain players. Not anymore.

Not happening guys.

Blackstone Flat-Bottom V Thread
JR Boucicaut replied to JR Boucicaut's topic in Ice Hockey Equipment
The same sharpener who did them says they're uneven by eye, or is this someone else who is saying this? I'm assuming it is the latter. Well, here's the thing - if they used a Quick Square and the magnetic angle (the piece that goes on the blade) is scored, then the edges will sit in the grooved part and will always look level when in fact it isn't. I always put electrical tape on mine so that the actual metal part never gets scored. But, the human eye can't pick out 1/1000". Then again, almost all skaters can't feel 1/1000". But as a sharpener, it is our job to remove all doubt and make sure it is dead on. -
Because I can You must be special ;) My mommy always thought I was. :) Final mockup - Thanks Keith -

WITH ONE HAND! ;) -
Had to change mine up a bit - carbon backroll stripes (no material in classic) and a black cuff roll with silver print and yellow outline.

Yes, your final pass needs work. It comes over time, or in some cases, doesn't come at all. -

I'm pretty traditional.

Yeah but if he has a conventional Blackstone sharpener, which I am pretty positive he does, he can't do them. You are right again JR...damn.. Hate to reread all 47 pages of posts but what Blackstones (beyond the X01 and X02) can take the fbv spinner? Stealth triple head and F-02-SPIN portable. -
You can shave arches but also you can build the skate with the orthotic if the player wears them.
-
You have to go through a dealer, simple as that.

Put one kid from University of Central Florida in them - his linemates are next. Might have the whole team in it soon enough. -
