Wouldn't a titanium blade be way better? Lighter, stronger, no rust and hold sharpens longer. They do them for figure skates. Imagine how light a pair of easton's would be with a ti blade on them, put step steel out of business.

Kinda looks like my curve :

Well, would you pay that much for something that doesnt work? Also, cnt was supposed to make the sticks stronger yet still play light, seems like it did just that. Why scrap it? I saw they were using it in there bats and bike components too (road bikes), any word on if they still are?

From a guy with big calves (catching from the time i was 8 to present...21) to another guy with big calves. They fit surprisingly well. I was hesitant about them because all the reviews said they fit smaller, but with the adjustable calf wrap they have a custom fit and really feel good. Thanks man, im defiantly going to check them out. Im not a big guy (5'10 , 180) but its odd that i have such big legs, often have trouble. Im wearing missions now they fit good but the protection sucks.

I meant sticks with cnt altogether. Why'd they scrap the idea, my cnt sticks seemed to hold up great.

What about cnt in eastons sticks? The cnt stealth was great, now i never see anymore cnt sticks. Why?

How small are they? I have very large calfs from biking and track and my legs always look huge in shin pads, i was looking for a slim low profile set and having a pair of reeboks, its far from it. Are they noticeably smaller then the rbks? I have yet to get to a hockey shop to try on some new shin pads.

Are you talking about the offset blades or the bowed shaft? I have a few of those! Picked them up at crappy tire when i was 10ish for $5 each, at the time i was told they were $40 blades. There all right handed gretzky curve, id try them except just that, there right not left. Anyone wanna swap for a lefty? Also, what about those easton skates with the carbon fiber holders? The original airs maybe? I had a pair back in the day, im not sure if they were the ones with the composite holders or not, but i did own airs or z-airs or whatever there called, just dont remember much of them.

Its a 8k 2 peice, wanted to put use to some of the blades i have laying around, mission blade in it. Honestly i love it. I had 15 sticks mid season before i parted with a few of them and the 8k is one of my favorite, the only stick i really liked more was the cnt stealth. Its pretty solid and kicks hard, never used grip before i dont mind it at all.

A couple things i picked up this season, the g9's arnt new i just got longer tongues on them. Everything else is. The stealth i got mid season as a replacement, i used to have a few more. I have many more sticks this is just about 50% of stuff i picked up exclusively this year, im a whore. Oh yeah, i piled all that wood myself.

Are those longer then retail cuffs? Either way, nice score those are beautiful. Ill post up another picture of my skates when i finally get the tongues trimmed on the inside and re-sowed on.

1995ish? My dad has a similar pair except his have the pumps, come to think of it he has a few pairs of old skates like that. I wore them on the outdoor rink once, your right technology has come a long way.

My dad had a 2004 chev truck for the longest time worked perfect. But yeah, thats why i asked i never heard too many great things about them but i rode in an ss and they seem pretty quick for a bigger car in my price range. I would consider an older one but most of the ones i seen had frame issues or needed body work, plus there made like a truck body on frame arn't they?

Got my money together and im looking at a 2000's Monte Carlo. I have $8000 to spend (sold new fourwheeler), any word on these cars? They reliable? Theres a 2002 Grand Marquis here mint shape barely 100k km on it for 5500 as well.

No, i ordered the tongues online and had them shipped here, came to $62.50. Then my mom sowed them on for me, lol.

If i ever get the tuuks on them ill post a up another pic. White custom+'s i had laying around for my xxx's i never put on.

nice...gonna put tuuks on them? I have a pair of custom+'s right now, i just have to take them to a place who can do it for me. Ive had the skates stock for a season trying to find the tongues and found a real sick pair online not too long ago, still quite a bit of life left in the skates anyways probably do me another season before i get new ones, still probably going to buy a pair off the hockeyshop now in advance.

Finally. Got them off the hockey shop, there not custom just xl on a 10.5 skate. Long enough? Not bad for $62.50 shipped. I dont mind getting a pair on an older pair of skates because my next pair im gonna try n find white pumps too.

RBK 8k: Medium in black w silver inserts Purchased: New around December of 2006 Fit: I have a really big head. I was wearing a nike 004? Nike version of the bauer 4000 anyways and it was just way too tight for my head, especially around the top crown and it was giving me some fit issues. I decided to look at a new helmet and the 8k really struck me as a pretty good fitting helmet. Its pretty wide yet fairly deep and its comfortable all around, its very adjustable as well for people with different size heads with the microdial but Ive heard of people breaking them, however mine never broke. Id have to give it a 9/10 because of the versatility but take a mark off because of the microdial, it was just kind of unnessecary really when you can just push the shell together. Ventilation: The vents on this helmet are pretty big and numerous. Theres two major ones on each side of the reebok logo but also a pair set under the subshell around the edges on the side of the helmet which also actually made a pretty big difference, its a pretty well vented bucket. 9/10 Protection: Its got carbon fiber all around the helmet and full of epp foam, does it really get much better then that? This helmet is top of the line, so expect good protection. I wore it for a season of some pretty rough hockey and rougher helmets and gloves and never had it fly off my head, get a concussion or anything so 10/10. Weight: Very light actually, probably the lightest helmet ive ever worn in my life. 10/10 Durability: Its hard for me to comment on durability because helmets are something that doesnt simply wear that much but i did hear quite a bit about the microdial, a little button on the back of the neck to be turned to adjust the helmet. Its kind of a gimmicky thing really, as it rotates it pulls padded straps on the inside together drawing the shell in. Really any need? Most tool free helmets you just undo the flaps and pull it apart or push it together. Plus there were a great deal of people who had this piece break on the first gen helmets, not sure if they fixed it. I had a first gen helmet black on black 2006 and i never had any problems however. 7/10 Intangibles: Pretty nice looking helmet really, i like the fact that it can fit a great deal of cages and visors and looks fairly well and is well made, still cost quite a bit more then the other helmets at the time. 8/10 Conclusion: A bit more costly then a 5500 or a v10 but still a great helmet, def recommend it if you can stay away from playing with the microdial too much.

Original synergy pro stock from Maxim Kuznetzov, random Russian who breifly played for L.A , plays in the Khl now. Kind of a slight toe wedge, strange blade shape and easily the longest blade ive ever used.

Hurt. Listen to Unkind , its a great song and it was on one of the older nhl games.. actually there a great place to find some good songs from decent bands.

Update Helmets- Ccm vector v10 (oakley visor now), Bauer 5500 black (ccm 480 white cage, white earloops), Bauer 4500 (black ccm 480 cage, black earloops) Gloves - Warrior Franchise, Eagle X-Tremes Skates - White 9k pumps, Graf G9's (old, for odr) Shoulderpads - Farrells Elbow pads - Nike v14 Shinpads - Jofa something, there fairly small i picked them up comparable to my old 8k's but thinner around the bottom Pants - Tackla 9000z air's Sticks - Really too many to list, a few se's broke and 2 new ones, a few prostock momentum comps, 2 cnt stealths, one95

Is that the actor with down syndrome?

Roughly april, dont quote me on that one though . My custom warrior franchise gloves, pro packing with tufftek and carbon combo I recently had my number embroidered into the gloves, i will post ictures later.

Sorry im a bit late, but i just got that now. Puckmugger .. enough said. I dont know how anyone takes his bs seriously .. and the fact that he gets paid for it too.
