  3. I dont see these on the sportchek website, are they only available in their retail stores?? Also does that say Vector 7.0 on the side? It appears to be a vector 6.0 with some white on it, is that all it is or are there any other differences. Also, Price?
  4. XXVR is pretty high end roller boot I thought. I cant wear Bauers No arch and wide foot. Yeah it is, they JUST recently released the xxvr though and it still is not their highest end boot. I remember back in the day they used to have supreme composite roller hockey skates and RH5000s which were identical to the ice supreme composite and bauer 5000. They just dont put much into their roller line anymore it seems like. Not that I can blame them because I am sure the money maker for them is def ice skates.
  5. Sweet skates. I wish bauer would have offered the 8090 as an inline skate from the factory... I wish they would actually put their high end boots on roller frames for that matter rather then having people have to rely on conversions if they want a high end stiff bauer boot for inline.

They are retarded light. As for the T-blades I really have gotten to the point where I feel extremely comfortable on them. This is coming from a person who has played on regular steel for over 15 years. I consider myself a very good skater and I do feel like the T blades give a very strong and consistant edge (and the sharpeners in my area are not very good...I used to drive 50 mins each way to get a good cut pre T blades) The only downside of these skates is that they have somewhat of a heel pitch and if you dont like that there is nothing you can do short of replacing the T blades with a set of LS2's and getting a custom rocker or shim. You really can not easily shim T blades due to the fact that the holders connect all the way down the boot and obviously they do not come in different rockers. I am a bit of a skate freak and am very very picky about my skates (used to only skate in custom bauers/tacks with heel shims and TUUKS) but I can honestly say that if you can find a pair of the ZG's in your size give them a shot no matter what level of skater you are, you may be pleasently suprised like I was. I actually went as far as to pick up another spare pair for when mine wear out (they may be getting LS2s depending on what T-Blade availability is like at the time). Also if you dont feel like the 13 hollow is biting hard enough, definately try the 11s, they are sooooo much better. Only downsides to the skates are the noise from the T-blades and how ugly the T-blade holders look compared to conventional holders but since the blades and of course the boots do actually perform well these are minor gripes...
