Not fair @Cavs019! What a pick up, whats the flex?

I'll add to the Jets Heritage pick ups.

The Marsblade inline chassis is for 'training' not in game use. But speaking of inline, despite this new holder sounding intriguing I am always skeptical of moving parts being associated with a chassis or holder. I've been around long enough to see the quikchange or whatever it was called where you could swap holders from ice to inline, the rocker chassis, mission vibe chassis, & sprung chassis. All sounded good in theory but with the moving pieces it was only a time before something went wrong or broke.

It looks like a 2 piece holder if you will, the top part stays in place and then the bottom portion that connects to it has a sort of spring/cushion that moves with you during your stride, turns, etc.

those look great!

On the topic of home fix up or flipping shows they are not to be watched if you're trying to by a house in the greater boston area. With that being said looks like the fam is making a move and dipping our toe into the world of home ownership. Lets just hope this doesn't result in numerous posts in the venting spot thread.

Oh lets hear the specs Monty! Those look great, the white binding looks amazing. More teams need to bring that back.

On the wrestling note, Nicole Bass passed away too, RIP

7 weeks post op from neck surgery, cleared for PT. Doc said everything is looking good, road of recovery rumbles along!

2 week postop doctors from my neck surgery, X-rays look good & doc is impressed with how well my strength has returned to my right side. Still can't lift anything more than 5 lbs, but the best news is I can start weening myself off using the neck brace and once I'm comfortable without it doc said I can start driving again. They're baby steps but slowly and surely I'm getting back on track!

Im kicking off 2017 going from the venting spot to the sweet spot. The scary spinal/neck surgery that came out of the blue was a success. My surgeon was excellent and he said it's only a matter of time before I'm as good as new. All I can do now is take it slow and heal up. All I can really say is if you got something health-wise going on, don't wait, get it checked out. And if you have to push for an MRI, X-RAY or whatever, do it, it's your body and it might save your life.

Ending 2016 with the quite the bang, major surgery. Had a lingering stiff neck and some weird feeling in my arm, turns out it's herniated discs and I need neck fusion surgery. Going under the knife Thursday.

Multiple mount points for the chassis too? I'm confused.

http://www.proskatersplace.com/english/reign-triton-trinity-roller-hockey-skate.html intriguing stuff, curious to see if it catches on. Anyone seen it used it?

That reminds of the old late 90's Easton Zubrus curve. Might have to check one of those out.

I know everyone loves their huge Toe kink, Crazy Ovi, blah blah blah but what about making some OG Gretzky patterned blade or even a Crosby pro curve?

Life's too short and cancer sucks. Do what you love and what you want to do, don't let anyone get in your way.

Didn't really make much of a difference to me. Obviously more forward lean but I messed around with it when tying my skates loose to try and alleviate the foot pain.

I'm about a month or so in with the Super Tacks and have to say so far I'm very happy with the skate. I had a short rough patch of intense foot pain with skates, centered on the arch area and forefoot of the skate. It made skating pretty unbearable but I pushed through each skate trying to tie my skates loose, leaving the top eyelet undone, etc. Ultimately I swapped out the footbeds for the CCM Medium Arch footbeds and haven't experienced any pain or discomfort since. When I was experiencing the foot pain it was when using my custom Superfeet and the new Carbon Superfeet. I intend on going back and giving those footbeds another try but for now the CCM insole is what I am sticking to. Outside of that the skate has been fine, no hotspots or blister areas or lacebite. The other thing that I've been really impressed with is the liner of the skate, I've skated in some pretty hot rinks and I sweat like crazy but every time I take the Super Tacks off the liner still feels bone dry.

Coming from Vapors (original APX), I didn't feel any difference in pitch when switching to the Super Tacks. I haven't used Nexus or Supreme so I can't comment on that reference.

Welcome to the club

I thought about shimming the heel but with added height on the Lightspeed plus the LS3 I decided against it. Wanted to keep the set up as close to what I had on my APX as possible, so this was/is perfect.

Yup 272 on 7.5, no problems. New holes needed of course but that's it. The 272 fon't hang they fit perfectly.

No issues getting the Tuuks on, obviously new holes needed but no problems. I specifically waited for SummerJam to try these out before I bought, very happy with the decision.
