  1. finally got to skate in the fbv tonight. went with 90/75 on my v08's. all i can say is WOW. Only fell once B) . only took a few minutes to adjust, and everything was just so smooth. Turns, stops, everything. I noticed i was weaving through defenders like ive never been able to before. Cant wait to skate again! Will be mailing out my spare set of rocket runners for the fbv treatment asap!


  2. since its a 2 hour drive for me, i tend to shop online more often than not. But i never get to use the shop as a 'fitting room'. When i make the trip there, its usually with a purpose of getting skates, or i know i want to make several purchases of different gloves/sticks getting a couple each at a time. I'll shop online, but its almost always closeout and older models of things (except skates). But i try to give as much of my money to the shop as possible, cause they've been more than helpful.


  3. Finally got my christmas sticks in. Most of the fam got me gift cards to giant/monkey, and some cash.

    now just waiting til my trip to a hockey shop in indy later this month for some more stuff.


  4. I also have a Honda Element. Great hockey vehicle, lots of room in the back and all wheel drive makes sure I get to the rink on crappy days.

    I named it - his name is Stampy, after Barts elephant, its a dark metalic grey. I even got some lettering over the web that matches the Honda font and stuck it on the back.

    Suprised how many people get the reference. I never named vehicles until I bought a car from a Newfy, he told me her name was "Happy" and to look after her.

    100 years of wind tunnel testing and amazing advances in aerodynamic drag went right out the window when Honda built a vehicle that looks like it is constructed out of Lego's. ;)

    That Scion one is worse LOL

    woah there, i like my box.

    i call it the seXBox.

    the front reminds me of a bauer 8000 helmet tho.th_xbhelmet2-1.jpg

    the new xB's aren't as boxy, but still, dont make fun of my box :P


  5. haha no the mustang just wasnt cutting it. Not really any particular reason other than working a good job at a hospital, wanted some decent reliable transportation, and felt like changing things up. the stang Needed some work done and just couldnt carry people/ hockey gear 'comfortably'. The xB is just crazy awesome to drive. Tons of room for stuff, people, and its kinda ugly. Perfect. :P


  6. traded some and sold some, so im down to these 3 pair, and a couple old backups.

    1. pro stock senators. 2. pro stock red wings (K. Maltby 18). 3. custom colored* blackhawks (new favorite)

    %7Boption%7D

    Do the Maltbys come with straps that hook up to elbow pads?

    nope no strap, but some extra plastic near the palms. hurts a lot less when i skate up and slap people then skate away now. :D

    Oh you know that is definitely an option on his gloves.

    Gutless.

    haha yep. but there goin back in the closet for now (since i got the blackhawks pair), they seem to like to hide anyway.

  8. I'm pretty sure the hawks ones are just custom colors- thats the retail cuff, not the pro stock cuff.
    Easy to tell. The custom color ones say NBHpro on them.

    dually noted. thanks guys. still very pleased with them but its good to know, since i do think i like this cuff a bit more. cant wait to use them saturday.
