    And that's fair but needs to be established. It raises the question if he has, in fact, been asked to do this by True or not.
  2. beerleaguecaptain
    Matters for a few reasons. First and foremost is the establishment of credibility in this community. When one speaks to their own expertise and qualifications some support of that is a reasonable request. You have, after all, been pretty outspoken. Second, is the fact that you stated that you were servicing certain teams when typically they are serviced directly through True. This bears some scrutiny and a follow up as to why the teams would use you and not the manufacturer. In the end, the community will decide whether it believes you or not and sharing more information about your store and your expertise can only help in that regard,

    Waiting......

    At some point people have to realize that the skate has issues. Glad to finally see some objectivity.

    Kickbacks, no.. but it would be damn nice to see manufacturers buying advertisements. They sure do get enough out for the site and their support of it is essential to it's success.

    Well, last Tuesday I had to put my dog to sleep. It was truly one of the worst days of my life and the whole week has been so dark with him. He was an amazing, funny, smart, kooky, crazy beast and I will always miss him.

    He was on Cerni post surgery. He is still eating and seems ok for the most part until today. Today he he didn't want to walk and I was really worried but he seems ok around the house now. Probably just a matter of time.

    You can move the counterpoint but I don't think that would help. I won't put myself in the expert category by any means but I've spoken to those that are and what I hear repeated over and over is that you have to try a few different profiles and dial in what really works for you. Stay tuned on MSH for the opportunity!!

    Thanks. Trying to enjoy each day. He is doing so well and is happy and energetic but there is a crazy ticking time bomb inside him. Hard to imagine.

    Found out my dog's cancer is now active. No more treatments. They give him anywhere from 2weeks to 2 months. I am beyond sad. He has been an amazing dog and a member of the family. IK love him and will miss him terribly. Frankly, I'm a mess.

    Loved my quad 0 but I'm nit feeling the same amount of blade on the ice lately. I've gained weight and think maybe I am skating differently.
  12. beerleaguecaptain
    welcome to the Quad0 cult!

    I'll speak as a Dad and an educator and not a hockey guy... Unless you REALLY and HONESTLY think you have a shot at professional hockey, you should play in the most age appropriate place and ensure that you have the best educational enviornment available. In my opinion home schooling and billeting are not best for a child's development.
  14. beerleaguecaptain
    Just wishing you the best.... sounds like you have been dealing with allot.
  15. beerleaguecaptain
    I didn't find the quad 0 aggressive at all. and since I was moving to new steel shaving down the toe a bit eased that transition tremendously. I think its all subjective.
  16. beerleaguecaptain
    I dont think there is any one answer to that. I do know that the quad 0 was a pretty good entry point for me.
  17. beerleaguecaptain
    Wow. That’s huge. I know I should be 175 or so on the charts but it’s really too low for me and i don’t think i have the willpower to do it anyway.
  18. beerleaguecaptain
    Having been as high as 254 and as low as 194 I know how much hard work and dedication this takes. Congrats!!!! (Currently at 209 hoping to take off 8-10)

    Last Sunday had to rush my 10.9 month old Goldendoodle, Wylie, to the vet hospital for emergency surgery. He had a tumor on his spleen that was removed and then we found out a twisted stomach. He is recovering really well from surgery but just found out that the biopsy report revealed he has cancer. We see the oncologist on Thursday but it looks like around 9 months with treatment. Very sad day. Love that dog.

    The bigger ones. You can trim I’d needed but you’ll need the width. When JR did my customs (Nexus V-cut 8EE) we went to larger Superfeef.

    I am one of the people you would say is "anti-true" and I posted no such thing - in fact I seconded West Side Skate as the place to go for his fitting. All we did is make a fair accounting of the issues that have been reported. And if you read the last few pages in the thread you will see them posted by True owners themselves.

    Thats the place to go in NYC

    I was at the Islanders retail shop in the practice rink the other day talking to the manager - I know him for many years. He was telling me that tons and tons of skates get tuned back by players. And these are all custom. And you know which one had the most returns....????
  24. beerleaguecaptain
    As the owner of custom Bauer skates I will echoe @JunkyardAthletic It took work to dial them in. Pain, punches and preserveareance. But the work was worth it and they are now far better than any retail skate could ever be. And I’d also bet, dollars to donuts, better than Trues.

    Guess sliced bread is still the greatest invention!!
