I know it can be done to a regular Blackstone with a bit of manipulation, but it's more cost-effective to buy the portable to do a FBV.

I don't like the additional blue on the rolls. Looks more Capitals than Rangers.

It'll also require less passes.

Steve - I have a proposition for you. I'll send you an email.

No, it is a different way to dress/shape the wheel.

After everything that has transpired in the past hour, I really suggest that if you have any pictures of the skate, please don't put them up. You may end up costing your rep his job and/or losing your account.

FBV is a totally new technology that only can be done with this type of machine. Trust me when I tell you that it's worth getting.

The old ones did not have markings. I do know that they now do, but a lot of people have the old style and have to estimate. Just wait

This thread is really going south.

I appreciate it, but everyone keeps on forgetting what I've been saying since the beginning - it WON'T be shown. McGill or any pro will be wearing the X60 guts but they will look identical to XXXX.

I'm waiting We're not going to put them up. There's too much to risk - sales reps will get in trouble.

Depth and cut are also different...

If I read correctly somewhere on this forum, the Vapor XXIX (29) is a re-dressed Vapor XXX. So I suppose that the fit is different in the 29 compared to the Shift, which is a SMU based on the newer Vapors for Source for Sports. I can't really say much regarding other differences, as I'm not very familiar with the 29s/XXXs. The new Vapors do feel quite stiffer than the older set, so maybe Shifts are almost as stiff as the XXXs. I think the outsoles are the same (Texallium- correct me if I'm wrong), and both have clarino liners and LS2 holders. Not exactly the XXX. It's an XXV with slightly better features.

Nah, considering hiring one of those courtroom sketch artists.

60 divided by 2 is... I just can't be cryptic around you guys.

Spring 2009

They're all new skates - nothing is crossing over. "Replace" means it is at that old skate's price point/spec level.

Exactly.

Pic I saw was Erat hitting him from behind. Like I said, didn't watch it so I have no idea if the punch came first or last.

Might as well just say it now - there won't be pictures of the skate. It will be worn at pro, but you won't be able to tell. It won't be in the catalogue, and when I see the skate I have been told to leave my phone in the car. They want to be secretive with the product, hence the "JR-proof" comment when it comes to the catalogue. Jarick - it will fit like a Vapor, but not necessarily the last one. It's 60 for a reason.

You think your LHS was the only one to get one with no pictures? They're all like that. Trying to make it JR-proof. LOL

Correct. Should clarify - X50 doesn't replace 25, it's a new model. X40 replaces 25

Look closely, there is a 50.

Wasn't there a picture of him getting highsticked by Erat? Dunno if that was before or after though.
