06 mission line

[stevoc 0]

I guess October 3rd was a faulty launch date for the Mission Roller Hockey site, so what is the real launch date?

Any word?

[kovalchuk71 212]

End of Oct. early Nov.....Its in this thread

[Krog7d7 0]

What Justin was saying was the "line" or new stuff will be out toward the end of October/Early November.

What everyone else is talking about is the promo email we all got.

On the bottom is says "New site launches October 3rd".

Here's what it looked like.

Just opened a box of MISSION 06 "samples" here in the Uk !

Iv got a pair of each model pant(1500/5500/7500/1000),the ilg7500 & thorax girdle & a pair each of 7500 & 1000 gloves both in a 14" & a pair of the 500 skates in a 9D.

The kits more like it was a few years ago with much better build quality,even the lowend 1500 pants got decent knees.

Been told that ALL the items are going to be limited in production.

Not sure if Projoy are making a new Mission series jersey ??

we seem to get most of the latest kit as soon as it hits the usa/canadian warehouses.

looking in the catalogue the 1000 girdle looks fab,.

No new shins/shoulder/elbows just the D1/D2 .......... those elbows are far to bulky !!

the new mission roller site is running and looks great!!!!!

I have a question for Justin. What is the stiffness comparison with the 10000 and 9500? Will it be like the 2000 and 2001 series where the VSi and wicked lite were the same stiffness?

[#28tz 0]

also what is the hardness on the rink rat wheels for the 9500-5500? 76A , 78A?

The boots on the 10000 and 9500 are very close in stiffness.....

As for the wheels they are 76a

Justin, just wondering what you have skated on when playing as goalie. (05-06 lines)

[Benchboy 0]

When you enlarge the picture of the 10000, all the wheels say that they are 80mm.

[Thockey17 1]

Cant wait for my 7500's to come...The end of october/early november cant come soon enough.

[#28tz 0]

ill probably go for the 7500 the all black looks awsome.

hmm thats very interesting

Enlarge what picture to see all 80mm wheels???? And the Mission site isn't working for me. I get the main Roller page, but when you click on something on there, it's just a white blank page.

You can easily see that the wheels are "different" sizes.

It's just a printing error I'm sure.

Ahh, thanks Sich.

I'm still upset by the plastic bumpers Mission went with. Plastic gets TORN the hell up. First time you fall, it's scuffed horribly. That felt material on my VSIs from 99 are still intact and show very little wear.

On a side not, those composite hubs look interesting. At over 20 bucks a wheel, I will never own any but hey, they look cool. That's like 160 bucks for a set, and they don't last that long. For the price, you could get a pair of brand new pair of $200 skates. Inconceivable.

96 I back you on the plastic bumpers being crap. I used my 9500's for 3 skates and they already rippped right off of the skates. The one thing that I did love about my HE950's aside from the fit when the DNA was working was the bumpers on those...they were durable as hell. Even the bumpers on the proto V's that I own look better than the 9500's, BUT.....the 9500's overall have the best feeling mission boot I have ever skated on...so all that visual stuff (IE ripped bumpers, silver painted parts of the boot that faded after my first fall) kind of fades away because the simple fact of the matter is if the skate feels and performs well then that is all that realy matters to me...bottom line.

p.s. 20 bucks a wheel is way too steep if the wheel doesnt serve me dinner and buy me a beer. In a poll that NARHCh recently did most roller hockey players care less about the actual weight of the skate and more about the grip and control of the skate. Just food for thought.

EDIT...my 9500's are very early samples...im sure they have changed by now...being that mission R&D'd the hell out of them..

It's easier for lazy LHS people to sell light weight, it's something a customer can feel. Not to mention that most retail customers are very concious of weight, probably thanks to the constant marketing about weight.
