Wow, that's a sweet looking skate. I just love the all black look.

However, are the rockers painted over. They kinda got a hint of red.

[duckjob 1]

no, they are dyed black from sprung, I think the flash gave it a little hint of red

So my skates are finally done after more than a week of waiting. Tried them out in a game on Friday and they feel great. I feel like my top speed, accerlation, turning and braking have all improved dramatically.

Yep, we still have em for sale. We have all colors again. We'd run out of black rocker arms, but that's fixed today and people who ordered black will have them in a couple of days. Same with red.

I sort of hate to count the rocker arms to see how many pairs we have left. Maybe half a paper shopping bag of each color left. Yipes!!

[SickLife 2]

I'm really not sure without checking the records, but probably around 350 pair worldwide. This is still a NEW product with no advertising support at all. Between Joe Noris' rink in San Diego and myself, we sell about a pair a day.

The first retail distribution will come with the new model, but they'll also be for sale on our website.

And having nothing to do with that, I just finished designing our first SPRUNGVOODOO jersey with ACE. They're making some small mods to the design and it should be finalized in a few days. It features my alter ego the Sprungster. I'll post the final pics from Ace as soon as I get them. We already have a bunch of teams and stores around the world waiting on them. These are SHIRTS!!!!

The first ones are for the San Diego Factory Team who are all world champion players (on their Sprungs). My sprongy top-hat off to em.

And Ace rules. Thanks, John.

what was the reason behind all 76mm wheels instead of all 78mm?

What a great weird question!

Maybe one of the HiLo replacement frames use 78s now, I don't know. But I do know that it's hard enough to find 76s in a lot of LHSs and 78s are probably impossible to find. And 76s have a great history in roller hockey. MANY all 76 SureGrip frames are still out there working away. Lots of refs.

I think they're primarily street skate wheels and are too hard for Sportcourt. If I were going to go larger, I'd go all 80s. They're available!!

Just wondering before i think about buying these... sorry if its been asked but i aint readying 30 pages.

Are these plastic? and if so how do they stake up durability wise agaist the metal ones.

Would they fit on 9500 mission size 11? and would i be able to change back if i dont like them? by this i mean would by boot be weaked by all the holes

I have a question for Keith. I was talking with good friend and manager of the local roller rink in Davis, CA. He said he skated on some demos some time back and said they felt pretty good. He said his only complain at the time (this was some time ago so I'm sure this has been addressed) was that the wheels rubbed when he made very sharp turns. I'm guessing this has been resolved? You should consider revisiting Davis, there are alot of parents out here with money looking to get there kids a leg up on the competition, not to mention the college has a comp team. Thanks Kieth for all your quick responses to everyones questions.
