Gonna have to give the quad 0 a try. I've been on the Quad2 for the last couple of years and thought it made a huge difference in my skating. As much I loved the quad 2 on my APX and 1x, it wasn't until I switched to True/VH skates that I really can feel that back 13/16' when I am skating. I don't mind it for the straight aways and gliding but I can feel that length a lot more in the Trues and to get going feels a little clunky.

I’m not sure what the standard operating procedure is anymore, however if you follow a certain Narch Pro player on instagram you can get a glimpse of the new skate I think. (hint: the pros last name rhymes with fostercamp)

Could & should probably go in the sweet spot thread...but going back to work sucks. I was fortunate to find a job quickly (& close to home) but having a few weeks off to spend with my son was awesome and now you realize it’s back to the grind for a loooooong one, ha.

Bruins sale is February 10th at TSR in Salem, NH.

I don’t know when Apple ever made it easy ha. I’m glad I’m out of the world of trying to find a happy medium of business requirements/IT security and iphones, that was a nightmare.

I’m in IT, focus on Telecom stuff mostly, in the greater Boston area. Not too worried about finding something, just had a good gig and timing is poor. That being said if you know anyone please feel free to DM me bud and thank you!

Getting laid off. Wouldn’t mind being on the hunt for a new job but my wife was also laid off right before Christmas. Crappy situation all around.

wait, I thought the bubble was carshing?

Ethereum at $847, up almost $500 in the last month. I got in because I liked the tech applications of it...not hating the jump in price either, ha!

I got in way too late on Bitcoin but still have seen a nice uptick. That being said I got in early on Ethereum and that has played out nicely. I am no expert in any of this but from what I've read (and kinda understand) I think Ethereum will have better applications of its blockchain tech down the road versus bitcoin. Either way its been a pretty fun ride.

Whats the minimum on ordering from true if you send in a sample to be cloned?

too soon, but a great run, absolute legend.

Hey @Skate Mod I read you’re manifesto, I mean website...gotta say some real great info, other stuff, a little head scratching. I need to give it another tons of info! I’m with @oldtrainerguy28 and am kind of curious of your background here. Biomechanics phd? Former R&D at one of the big companies? Pro skate rep? My post count or 23 second of a men’s league shift where I can actually skate halfway decent don’t make me an expert, but I’m of a mindset where I’ll trust someone based on their background, etc. I’ve been around the block a little and your site is fascinating, but I’ve never seen anyone skating with a ‘H’ notched out of their boot. That said, I’m curious to know more and hear some more info from you.

Must play for Tortorella and have to block shots all the time.

Could just be me and the way I shoot or maybe a bad batch or something. The blade to me just doesn't feel crisp is the best way to explain it, not as responsive as other sticks I use.

I would've like to have seen an update to the Dynasty girdle. I love mine but the kidney padding area is coming apart, the material used there is just too thin and the pointed plastic inserts rip through. I don't mind taking out the old needle and thread but with all of the updated materials on gloves & pants I would love to see some more durable materials used. I'll also chime in and say I'm not a fan of the Alpha so far, the blade just feels too soft for me. The kick of the shaft is pretty decent but the torque I put on the blade when shooting just feels like I am using a worn out blade. Also is this the year we stop seeing Tapered shafts?

+1 for pat at custom pro repair. might just wanna ask a local spot that does athletic embroidery or something along those lines. Ive also seen recently gear from the Kings where they used heatpress stickers to put on player names/numbers to gloves.

Lost in the finals this past weekend at a tourney. 5 games in 3 days and my surgically repaired neck is fine, my liver on the other hand could use a few days off.

Surgery to remove 3 herniated discs out of my cervical spine and a titanium plate screwed to my neck later and I'm back on the ice. Lost in the finals but feeling great after 5 games in 3 days!

Just an FYI folks, Play It Again Sports in Dedham, MA is going to have a bunch of Kings Pro Stock gear for sale on July 30th at their tent sale.

Had an awesome week of picking up pro stock gear. Was able to help some friends pick up stuff up and also got some great stuff for myself.

Sorry to hear that JR, sending my best to you and your fam.

First time back on the ice in over 6 months and a little under 6 months after surgery as well.
