Ribeiro curve

[cobrAA 0]

Well, i just came back from Canadian Tire and they all have their SMU OPS which are pretty cool

I was looking at the C4 mission and the ribeiro was looking like a P38(rbk) so pretty close to a recchi or something like this...

I remember a while back ago we talked about this new curve but can't remember what it was close to...

So i was wondering if the Ribeiro SMU if different than the retail...?

Obviously if it looked like a recchi then it was different than the retail. The retail is sort of close to a Drury clone.

I thought the Carter was a Drury clone and the Ribeiro was a toe curve...

The ribeiro is a heel, as is the Carter. You are right though, the Carter is closer to a Drury. But, since only the Ribeiro is available on the Hex, (and only the Carter is available on the M-1's) it's the closest thing they've got to a Drury.

Oh, OK. I remember looking around online for a Hex, and Great Skate described it as a "slightly open toe" My bad...

Ribeiro does have an open toe but it probably most like the old Easton Thornton but with a thinner profile. In fact, I don't recall another retail pattern that's too close to the Ribeiro.

Well i found the c4 ribeiro to be close of a thorton or a recchi...but again this might be SMU pattern to... anyways i don,t whant to argue with you guys

I have no idea what the SMU pattern looks like, just talking about the regular pattern.

The C-4 "RIBEIRO" is the same as our "HULL" curve from the other lines. C-4 Ribeiro = Z-1 Hull. I know this sounds a little confusing, but this was what CTC wanted us to make for them.

well that not bad i have to say...when they were in special at 79 or 89cnd that mean you get a Z-1 at the price of 89 just with different logo that cool...

By the way, do you know if you(mission) will be making blade for them?

We saw the deal with Canadian Tire as a chance to grow the Mission brand in Canada. By streamlining the stick to one curve and two flexes we were able to get our vendor to produce them at a discount to Z-1. Initially CTC was going to sell them for $109 cnd. If you can get one for $89 it's a pretty good deal.

We are launching Z-2 in Feb. Z-2 is a shaft and 2-blade pack, like L-2. Blades should be available then.

Would it be pretty the same as a Z-1 or it will have ''improved'' performance( like a ligther weight)

I like mission shaft but a bit heavy for me...but beside the L-2 blade(only tapered) there no real blade available...

So i'm happy to heard mission will be making Hull/ribeiro(equivalent to iginla) for standard blade at a LOWER COST

Thanks for the input/news!

By the way, Mission isnt etablished in Quebec,Montreal?? I think they are well-know but people are more ''tempting'' in Easton for the same cost...i tihnk by having OPS at a lower cost is a great way to promote their stuff

Which is across the street from the Easton building if I am not mistaken.

I know..they have them for like 6 month now...but VERY LIMITED and such a big prize...it like 200cnd for the 1100 or novius...and they have like 2 shaft...so no flex options...
