Tour 2007

Recommended Posts

NARCh starts in 2 days and the rink is just down the street. Hopefully they are set up on the first day although I am unsure if they would be. If they are I can let you know what the stuff looks like and maybe take some pictures.

I think I'm more interested in Labeda's chassis for Tour... in fact I haven't been interested in Tour boots in the past...

ah... whats next? an all 82mm wheel setup? can't wait till it gets up into the 90mm. :lol:

Well Ive been busy with my own adult leagues and work all week so I havent been able to make it to the rink yet but my first game is bright and early Thursday morning at 6:30 AM. Why NARCh has 20 year olds playing that early blows my mind but whatever. Ive seen the NARCh catalogue Justin was posting pictures from and Ill try and grab a copy and scan some gear for you guys in the next few days. Hopefully Tour has something similar or Ill bring a camera for that. Just wait a few more days guys and I should have something but from the pictures Ive seen off the NARCh site Tour has only been advertising the Codes 1 and 2 skates from last year.

A few pictures of the 07 Tour skates are on www.narch.com

Are you sure? Because what I saw was a photo with the code 1, and it said Tours lastest addition. Maybe I miss the new stuff?

I've been to the Tour booth a few times already and it is quite disapointing. They don't seem to have any new stuff for 2007 except for new pants.

That's what I heard as well.

i checked out the new ops by tour the getto i didnt like the colors which were like a pink yellow and some white mix,i thought it was heavy,heavier than the burner,and has that same grip feel , the new USA color gloves were a flat finnish,,nothing crazy.one thing thu cj yoder was testing the getto and getting some good shots off, i still think he is one of the best inline players in the world,by far.didnt pay much attention to the skates ,sorry guys.they also have a new color helmet- silver,and still looks and feels like the other helmets,in a way i dont get it their skates got really light and their sticks are getting really heavy.

Gregg "pigeon" Thompson actually told me today that the ghetto is lighter than the burner. In my Opinion...if it is lighter, its not by much at all

I'm offended! I'm calling a lawyer! This does NOT appeal to my Gen X Hip Hop culture sensibilities at all!

I'm a big Tour but what are they smokin', thats funny as hell... I'd buy one if they had patterns in their sticks other than "LEFT" and "RIGHT"

sniper 21, funny you mention gregg ,he broke a stick during warm ups against canada,i dont know what stick it was,i hope it wasnt the the 'getto' .yeah i thought it was heavier,you know gregg the animal he is ,if any one gets a chance to check this stick out ,put up a plug,but how i saw it was this-the beemer,the lightest.the burner, just blade heavy.the getto,solid heavy.for the price i think the beemer is still the best stick.my opinion.

let's give Greg some credit, he has bulked up significantly over the past 3 years..

anyone at NARCh get a better look at the Getto? Is it fabulous? (How am I asking someone about what's happening at NARCh..damn adulthood and insurance!!)

So... it's been a while... any news?

I'm actually waiting for the Code 1's to go on sale...

I'm a cheap bastard, I know... ;)

C'mon Tour! Just mark those Code 1's down to $250 and I'm all over it!

A few weeks ago I saw a new Tour boot that I thought was a high end item that turned out to be a low end boot. It was real clean and very unlike Tour's other boots.

And the big surprise was that it had lace locks just like RBK/CCMs. Made a little different, but the same! I thought it was on the wrong table. And VERY INEXPENSIVE.

I thought it was better looking than the Code 1. Should be interesting!

The boot change might be for the better; some of the Tour stuff is made WAYY too fancy, with all the pointless lines, dots, squiggles, shiny stuff, etc.

I think the Code 1 is the plainest of all recent Tour skates, that's what I like it the most.

Plus, I am a big fan of the straight 80 frame; I got the Hum'er Chassis mounted on some Bauers, and they are my favorite skates right now, despite the boot being a bit too narrow in the heel area. I tried on some Code 1's and they are just awesome.

Don't know if I should get 9.0 or 9.5 though...

Will have to try some out next time I'm at the shop.

I was wondering if any of you have skated the Tour Code1 or E2. I had picked up a pair of the Bluemax for really cheap (mainly for the chassis and wheels) and Didn't care for the boot, in particular the way they lace, almost like a tennis shoe. The boot gave me some ankle problems the last time I skated. The newer Tours looked to be designed differnt, but it's hard to tell by the pics online. Did they make them lace more like a traditional ice boot?

my e2's hurt my ankle like hell till i got them baked.

i almost got the bluemax for $100 on hockeygiant last weekend, but i don't really need another pair. i use my ccm's as a backup now.
