It seems like you can never find the best of both worlds. . . . low prices and great customer service. Ridiculously low prices usually means they don't have to offer customer service, because there will always be those that pay the cheaper price
I emailed them a while ago about the orange socks I was asking about earlier in this thread. . . whether they were bright orange or burnt orange. I got no response. I didn't try again. Now I know I won't be going to that company. That's absolutely crazy that they treated a customer like that!
Does anyone happen to have the orange socks? I want to get a pair of edge style socks, but it seams like everyone makes them in burnt orange (the old flyers orange) and i'm looking for the newer, brighter flyers orange socks - in 1 color. . . no stripes
Did you take the blue piping off before the cuff extension and then cut off the wrist extension, then had blue piping sewen back on your Jofa 5066 to look like the 5044?
I don't really know much about any current shinguards because I havn't considered replacing my jofa 6090's. . . . The guy that gave them to me said they are supposed to fit a lot like the 6090's and they definitaly do. . . the are a little tighter than my 6090's right now, but I think any pad that's brand new compared to a 10+ y/o pad is going to be tight.
I normally do take off the straps along with the top extension. . . . I've never used a wrap though and thought I'd give it a try, and I actually liked it.
I'm sure EQ is a new protective line. I was told the EQ-Pro is still a tester, and may only be released in europe as the pro-only protective series. here are some more pics. There's also removable calf protection. It's a hard plastic that comes out of the foam/clothe calf liner. For securing the pad to the leg, the neoprene wrap goes around the back of your calves while there is a clothe strap that goes around your knee (I took that off because I'm a tape guy)
Uploaded with ImageShack.us Was given these EQ-Pro's last night, they'll be replacing my vintage Jofa - 6090's. After one use I'm already loving them. I am going to give it a few weeks to make the final decision. . . considering the 6090's are the best shin's ever. . . . it is going to be a tough decision
our local store gives a 5% military discount. Many stores in my area give a military discount. There is an air force base just a few miles down the road, which means there are a lot of military in the area.
Well I finally skated with FBV last night. I normally skate on 7/8 or 15/16. The glide was improved a bit, not to noticable, but the bite I got was drastically improved, which allowed for better push offs and turning. I'm a believer. . . .
