The "Statement" sticks we are doing are going to be limited. Our goal is to make a "Statement", then move on. Also the pigment used in the pink paint was limited. Our paint vendor cannot match the colors from lot to lot.

The next Statement stick is nearly complete. We have another color ready, and I ask Justin to do something cool for the graphics. The next Statement stick is targeted for Spring '06.

Shelton, Have you used mission skates in the past? I have the 10K's they are seriously the best skates I have ever had!! They are surprizingly all the things they say in the ad, very stiff and super Responsive! I don't really notice about the weight so much, but they are pretty light skates. For me the are also really comfortable for such a stiff skate! The only draw back I can see is that they are so stiff (I love stiff skates, cause I am a bigger player) that they maybe to stiff for some of the younger players. You will definitely need to bake these skates before use.

I almost forgot they look cool to! :lol:

Malcb how long did they take you to break in after baking and what is the performance and durability of the wheels?

They were pretty comfy straight after baking, but after 2-3 time of use they were perfect! It will depend on what sort of surface you play on with the wheels! I play on a concrete floor so it's not ideal for them and I perfer harder wheels anyway!

What are the wheels like for durability? Also what model are you wearing?

Like I said, it depends on what surface you play on for durability!! I am using the 10k!
