Mission Fuel 110XP initial thoughts

[JR Boucicaut 3801]

Just got my custom pairs of skates today - a pair of S500s and a pair of Fuels. The Fuels seem to have a Vector look to them - same cut, however a tad bit deeper. I took pics but I am waiting for approval.

I should be skating in them in a few days. Will give you guys updates then.

Looking forward to the detailed pics, thanks.

Is teh Fuel 110XP the successor of the S500 or is this the replacement of the L7?

[JR Boucicaut 3801]

110 XP is the traditional skate. AG is the SuppleFit - there was a mix-up in the order and I got XP instead of AG.

Any idea when around the release date for the new products?

About what time has the new set of products from a company come out every year?

[JR Boucicaut 3801]

You're new so I'll let you slide. I answered this question too many times last year.

"IT COMES OUT IN THE SPRING"

Stuff is shown to the reps in November, then shown to the retailers in December. It is unveiled in January and booking orders are filled there. The stuff ships out (in theory) in April/May.

but I want a pair for Christmas this year, anyone know where I can find a 9EE/AA?

JR..I can see your temple twitching from here in DFW...

If you're referring to me, I'm sorry, I was being somewhat sarcastic, but it didn't get portrayed too well...

These are the ones Ribeiro is wearing? Or are they different?

JR your sig should just be "It comes out in SPRING", it might just save you a lot of trouble :)

Are these the "Ribeiro skates"?

[JR Boucicaut 3801]

Yes, they are the Ribeiro skates. I baked/FIT them this afternoon...actually don't feel all that bad. I'll take them for a whirl this week.

can you send a pic, i'm looking to get a pair to replace my s500's

[JR Boucicaut 3801]

Then you won't be interested in these...these are traditional fit. You would want the AG.

so what are you saying?

The Fuel don't fit like the S500?

I like the S500 but the tendon guard is ripping...

Go to a shoe repair shop and have it stitched. It cost me $10 a skate and is working fine.

[JR Boucicaut 3801]

Two new skates coming out...AG (S500 replacement) and XP (L7 replacement).

I also got a custom pair of S500s...has the leather around the tendon guard...

[djinferno 2]

can someone send me a pic of fixed s500's please

[JR Boucicaut 3801]

[kovalchuk71 212]

How are the s500's? Fit like a glove?

[JGraz15 53]

Fuel pics are gone? Mission needs to make up their mind!
