Zac, quick question on the AGX... will they run the same size as the other Fuel skates? I'm in a 90AG size 8 right now, and it's perfect. ANT-- same size... slightly wider heel. the 8 should be fine.

the AGX is a wider last compared to the rest of the line. we will also have an EE. remember that EE skates are wider in the heel/ankles..... NOT THE TOE BOX/FRONT QUARTERS. that said- where did you have the S400 punched? i am assuming outer front quarters?

that is all i am saying.... just try them on. i love that we used a FELT TONGUE on this skate. so many times mfgs try to re-invent the skate tongue and yet nothing works as good as a felt tongue. it has a Pro Nylex liner that is very comfortable and i found it to be better than Clarino liners. too bad public perception is that Clarino liners are better-- i wish my 120AG skates had Pro Nylex. :D

dont over associate quality with price- this boot was overbuilt for the money.

because i know he is reading this- i expect the 75 to be expanded to other lines! DO IT! DO IT NOW! DOOOO IT! lol

i have several in my garage. i have a killer Orion XTR600.4... it just needs a trip to the shop. i can send it to you if you want. probably $100 to fix it. it will really sing, but as with all Orion A/B amps.... it's power hungry. you need a good battery and a solid alt. i also have an Audison SRX3 in good working condition. the connections are a bit tricky but the sound quality outstanding. 2x75+250x1 at 4 ohms 13.8V. i have a garage full of Mission Samples and old car audio projects...lol!

dealers that have booked already should be seeing them in about 2 weeks. this is what i know as of right now. i was going to get a pair, but i have played about 4 times in the last 4 months and my 120AGs are mint. i need a new component set in the doors of my ride more than skates right now. i did 55K last year so i need to be entertained. louder is better when you are trying to stay awake on the road as well! anyone got a hook up of Rainbow Audio?

Don't worry I beat up on them too. It's my job to keep everyone honest and on their toes. ;) BTW, I never liked the flyweight, the T-Flex worked much better for me. the shaft or low connection? in previous threads i mentioned how i would take the dremel to std blades for my 1100s-- money! you being a bigger guy flex was probably not an issue with TFlex Shafts, but being part of the crowd that cuts about 3 inches of their shafts it pretty much loses all load/flex characteristics. even still i never like the high connection point of the TFlex, but then again some guys like the higher kick point. didnt Hespeler have Inno Made shafts that were Mid Kick and Low Kick? " Arguing with a Parts Guys is like wrestling a Pig in mud......after a while you realize the Pig enjoys it "

REALLLLLLY? Hehe...better to be innovative than inno design-getting off track tho. i could not resist.... sorry man!

REALLLLLLY?

c'mon Chadd.... we have had this conversation.....buy you a soda after the game?????? Justin is a great product designer...maybe too good. most of his ideas are very forward thinking. i am cool with that..... i trend the same way, but the GENERAL market is not so fast to adapt new ideas and new thinking. look at FOR EXAMPLE the Flyweight Shaft and Low Taper Wood and Composite Blades-- i thought it was brilliant, but everybody had a hard on for what they thought was a TRUE ONE PIECE stick ( synergy ). here i am telling people, " no dude.... its two pieces.. blade and shaft with bondo and paint..... what makes is special is the low connection.... try the mission and get the benefits of low connection and a wood blade ". we have some great product past and present just like other manufacturers-- the question i ask is why do the big names get away with failures? i have seen the future and it looks great! CLOSE YOUR EYES AND OPEN YOUR MIND!

there is no more Ribeiro. i liked the pattern, but it just does not move as well as other Heel Curves and it is very similar to a Lidstrom ( McAuley now Hainsey ). it does not make sense to have two heel curves in your line up with square toes. Drury ( Sundin for us ) is from what i have seen the most popular Heel Curve ( #1 Selling Pro Pattern and my PP ). i have spent some time with our new Fuel Ti 75 flex and i can say that i am loving this new stick. Sargy really stepped up the game and the addition of Roman has been solid. we have some great designers in Montreal and Mission is really coming on as a company. stay tuned guys!

it is scheduled to ship mid February, but things always change. solid skate for the money ( approx $270 ). it is my next skate for sure- i have been asking for a Pro Nylex liner, Felt Tongue and a slightly wider heel. should be a winner at this price! boot is stiffer- a nice hybrid of the XP and AG. shafts are no longer- we are focusing on the Spearshaft Technology which is has received excellent reviews.
