Bending Skate Tongues

[whbd18 0]

Whats the best way to make them stay like how Weight, Ovechkin and others do. I started to put my shin guards under my skate tongues instead of over and every time they fold back up. Any Suggestions or Help?

Fold them down and tape them in that position.

Fold them down and tape them in that position.

How long should I leave them taped?

I think my one friend had them taped for a week. I guess if that doesn't work, tape 'em after every game and they should stay down. I put my shin guards behind the tongue too but I just leave it natural, not folding them or anything.

tie down the tounges when your not using your skates thats how i did it

Use the laces to tie them down. Or rubbebands. Tape can leave residue. Just constantly do it. Weeks at a time. They'll mold.

any purpose? or jsut to look cool?

I've always been a person to do the tounges under the shin pads. But now that i have my new Grafs.. with the massive tounges i will be putting them out aswell, because they bend down so far that it offers a little protection, which being a defence you need. So there is a purpose in some ways, other ways its for looks.

I thought some of the players just get longer and more droopy tongues put in their skates..

i bent my tongue with my vapor 30 but i was wondering if somebody has tried to bend the tongue on a pair of one90 skates because i noticed that it was pretty small

Heat them with a heatgun but spread vaseline on the tongue because you don'y wanna burn the tongue up. After heating them, tape them and that should do the tricks.

That's what I did and it works well.

LOL But then you have vasaline all over you skates! :D

It also helps if you use less of your eyelets as you will have more tongue to bend

Whats the point of having the tongues like that?

you can also use a clothes peg.

i use tape when im not using them and it works a treat.

Looks, protection.
