I hate to sound ignorant but would you mind telling me how to tell if a sharpening is a good one? I would really liek to know also becuase i hope to one day work at my LHSMy LSH's sharpeners are weak, so I need to check that the wheel was centered. If it wasn't (this has happened 3 times now), one edge will be sharper than the other. They always use my Rocket Runners as an excuse.

+ throwing knife for long range if they're any good

I'd have to say my favorite perk in this game is scrambler...people haven't realized yet how awful it is.
I'm on PSN as Rickety__Cricket if anyone wants to add me.

10-page final project for this BS class I'm taking is due today at 12:50pm. I started at 11:15 and just finished...I win.

Surprised how little controversey this game has stirred up, considering how politically incorrect some of the missions are (I won't spoil them). There is even a warning at the beginning of single player.

As stated before, I am a little apprehensive about the amount of exposed forearm left by my C/A. I haven't been hit there **yet** but I let my brother borrow the C/A and he got hhit in the arm his second time using this C/A. So I decided to try and add some forearm/wrist protection.
First, I had some old Louisville Flexor elbow pads lying around that I don't use. Here is what they looked like before I went to town on them:
I took the bicep part off the pad, removed one of the plastic parts, cut off some unneeded foam, and put adhesive velcro on both sides.
Since I don't use that velcro strap at the wrist part of the C/A (it sits too high on the arm), I decided to stick this new pad in between the velcro and the unused strap of the C/A, which is flipped over instead of wrapped around the arm.
The finished product:
This mod gives me 3-4" of extra coverage, it should protect me from slashes, but will probably be just mediocre for direct shots. There is already a velcro strap on the pad, so it wraps around nicely, and isn't very bulky, so I don't see it interfering with the gloves too much. I'll have to try them once or twice before I decide if I'll ditch them (This is why I velcroed them instead of sewing).

I've had my Brown 2000 C/A for a while now, and the arms just don't sit right. In addition to being too short and exposing too much forearm (see my next mod), the elbow cups are too far down the arm for me. So I decided to attach some new tabs through which I can run the velcro straps through. Here is a step by step:
Before:
How it looks with the elbow cup removed:
I sewed in two tabs by hand further up each arm. This allows me to place the elbow higher up on the arm. Got the tabs from an old pair of thigh boards I don't use anymore. Left the old tabs there in case I decide to move them back to the original position.
After (everything put back in):
After doing this, I am able to wear the arm straps looser without the whole thing sliding down and out of place. Before I had to yank those straps real tight to get it to stay on my elbow, restricting mobility. The C/A fits much better now.
Next up, adding wrist protection with Frankensteined elbow pads...

Prices were pretty steady for a few years at around $200 for Franchises starting when they were still MB22s by MIA. In February they tacked about $60 to the base prices of both gloves and their pants. Still worth it if you ask me.Oh and our colors actually were Little Caesars-inspired but, no, they don't have purple.
Typical Warrior Hockey. Montreal 9000 (foam core) goal sticks used to be $80-90 USD. Now they are called the Swagger and cost $115.

if im buying new skates in my LHS, and the employee knows what hes talking about, and cooperates, listens to what i need from a skate, bakes them sharpens them etc, I often leave a 5 to 10 dollar tip for him, even if he says its not necesary, I know that some people will be going in the store after me, and will be one of the retards that you guys have talked about, just try to make their day a little bit easier.is it a common thing to tip an LHS employee? I recently went to an LHS, and bought goalie skates and pads, and my brother was with me and bought pants. The employee was very helpful and when I told him I needed some new foam padding for my old mask, he threw it in for free (either because he is a good guy, or because we dropped over a grand on there, but they don't work on commission), and he knew the pads I was looking at were going on sale soon and offered to give me the future sale price that day. Looking back I wish I had given him a tip for his troubles.

glad you like them. I sold you those, correct?

how are the Graf gloves treating you?

the rocker wasn't a bust. it was a solid transition from ice to roller, and got a lot of ice guys into Bauer roller.
to the true inline guys, anything but 4 wheels on the floor is foreign, and therefore sucks.

bust or not that black steel is the shit
