    Just to ask again...will your products be available in Uk/Europe?

    Sound rather sweet - look forward to the pics. Where'd you source the mag frame? I got a white mag Boss Black frame a while back via Ebay USA (im in UK) - havent seen any for sale since, just the alu vanguards. Been trying to get a couple more mag frames but zero success.

    Converted a pair of Nike One90's myself last week - had the choice between a white Mission mag (from Boss Blacks) or use an older Alu frame. Epoxy'd the sole too for added strength in the middle area and filled all the vent holes in under there, Went with the Alu frame as it was smaller. However...the boot is smaller than most of my other conversions so the chassis was a shade too long, although it skates rather well which was surprising! Only downside to this boot is the lack of side buffers, played a game 2 days ago and scuffed them a little on the side panels. Dont want the garish skate protector things, they look horrendous...but if anyone has any other ideas...? Was thinking of making small square buffers by using epoxy.

    Quite excited about grabbing a pair of the CA9's, I loved the Mission skates from Justin's era so sure these will be rather good skates. What does "Lithium Science" refer to? Just curious lol The girdle looks epic too, hope it comes in black...!

    Totally - it's what you feel will work for you as an individual...everyone's different :)

    I'd get them converted. Buying a non-hockey skate will just feel weird for you, ie I like the ankle freedom and forward flex hockey skates give, whereas recreational skates dont really work the same. Take them along to your local LHS, they'll do them no problem - you won't be the first or the last person they've had through the door wanting a conversion and it doesn't take long (you may have to wait a day or two depending on their workloads) - wont cost much either (bear in mind you'll need a chassis...)

    I'd have to completely disagree with your statement above. I've used converted hockey skates for outdoor skating for years, switching from specific recreational skates to hockey due to the fact my skating style changed when I started playing more and more hockey. I've been skating for over 20 years, and think that you are ALWAYS better to have a boot that fits you well. I also find your balance will improve if you are not relying on fancy gizmo's to iron out bumps, cracks etc - learn to ride them out. Yes, hockey skates will rip up if you fall in them a lot....but your balance will stop this...! If your easton's fit you well, get them converted. I am sure the sole will be fine, I've converted much older boots than that in recent times and all have been fine.

    lol was going through this thread from the start, looking for pics of converted One90's...and find a guy talking about my purchase of the skates above....! They've since been given a white Mission vanguard mag frame, think I posted pics of them somewhere in here lol Love these forums.

    I've got a pair of TO's with a Mission mag hi-lo on it, the sole on the TO was fine for making some extra wee holes! Go for it, makes it a great roller skate.

    Bear in mind that hes a UK 7.5. Pretty sure the guys who are saying they had a small frame on their skates at 7.5 are referring to US sizes which is a size 6.5 UK. Anyway I stuck medium hi-lo's on mine, theres a pic of the way they looked in the conversion thread somewhere. (mine were 7 UK)

    @ EKs My skates are all a 7 and I went with the medium Mag for each. @ Ocky Pretty hard to get hold of it seems in UK as our shops suck balls, I ordered a set from the US. Took a couple weeks to arrive.

    Still have my red aluminum Easton from my junior days - shame it's way too small for me now, still in great condition. I'd love to find a silver "gretzky" easton aluminum for a decent price. Always wanted one as a kid!

    I really like these, what flexlite boot is that? Look great the all balck boot and stark white frame and grippers
  14. Kanya
    really like those Tours on the tri-di and the bauer's look excellent with the black mags on them. Did you remove all the graphics from the frame? If so, what did you use?
  15. Kanya
    WoW nice collection :) And omg at the V Forms....!! Blast from the past, how were they to skate in?
  16. Kanya
    I think we had similar tastes as kids :)
  17. Kanya
    I rather like these, nice job

    You will need a large if you want it to look in proportion mate. The sole flexes and you won't need a heel lift when affixing it. The pair I posted above are one of 8 pairs I own, all variations of the white skate. I posted pics a while back in this thread if you need a look. Hope all goes well with your conversion and post a pic when done :)
  19. Kanya
    Definately a large - the mission mag on my white nikes are medium frames, mounted on a uk 7 (8 us)

    Finally got around to finishing these. Indoor wheels: rink rat hornets Outdoor wheels: pro 250 and hyper superlites (had em lying around just for outdoor)

    I live in Scotland, get all my chassis' from either US eBay or via mail order. There's literally nowhere that sells decent chassis only. Or keep an eye on eBay for a 2nd hand pair of skates that have the chassis on em - but these are few and far between unfortunately. I'd get em off US eBay tbh, hope this kinda helps :)
  22. Kanya
    sign of a great wheel imo
  23. Kanya
    Thanks :) have about 4 pairs all converted, was going to use the white mags on a pair of white Accel elites but decided to use them on the all white boot instead. The Accel elites have the black section at the rear, so figured i'd go all white - the boots were in pristine condition, only been worn a handful of times. I love the white reebok 11ks at the top of the page tho..

    Finally got around to doing these, had the mag chassis kicking around for ages - turned out quite nice, full set of hornets to be added tonight.
