Is sprungster demoing these? I saw a bunch of demo boots with sprung chassis on them at my rink and i tried on a pair of tour formula 9's with sprungs. absolute GOLD

so does that mean that the Combo 1 is going to be similar to a hilo?

Similar as far as wheel sizes, but that's where it ends. Rigidity vs mobility.

Thats sounds pretty good. I'd like to try the new arms on the rear of my setup.

It won't work that way. By fit in, I mean they fit into the frame, not that there's clearance for the bigger wheels. In the medium, the center 76 and 80 would be pushed up inside each other. And the 80's would hit the frame if they moved.

So if you want 80's with your 76's you'll have to order up the combo special. The C1 will use the 76mm rockers from the A6 (medium) and the 80mm rockers from the A8 (large). And it will be a 3/8" longer wheelbase than the A6.

ah... now I see.

Ok, will have to consider it then.

The smallest will be the all 68mm. Next will come the 68/72, all 72, 72/76, all 76, 76/80 and all 80. That's seven sizes to cover the youth, juniors and seniors. Seven sizes and two styles made from four rocker arm sizes.

Modular.

What's the time-frame on the size "small" frame(s)?

The coach for a junior AAA (equivelent) Icehockey team around here, keeps asking me when it'll come out.

Will the C1 frame have the same hole pattern as the medium A6 ?

No, because it is 3/8" longer, the holes would be to far to the rear.

Are these for sale yet? If not when do you think they will be ready for sale? They sound awesome!!

[nickyb13 9]

do the parts and frames come in different colors or in just white?

[Sprungster 5]

The C1 is designed as far as all the specs go. It'll probably be available around the first of the year.

We're still waiting on the durability tests on the black material. If they go well we'll have black and white available. And, if the black product tests OK the color thing is opened up nicely, because if black works almost any color will.

Here are my new skates. Took me like half an hour to get the lighting right.

Do you think the frames will be too toeish or are they still acceptable?

LUSTLUSTLUST but they still need yellow laces. Yum.

It looks like you still have more than a .5" of wheel sticking out in back, so maybe you got them a little toeish, but they they should skate and cut good- and fast if you use the toe a lot. Can't believe you haven't already skated around the house. Or have you?

Nice catalog cover, too. B)

[nickyb13 9]

just ordered a pair of sprungs and im very pumped

[iceburg19 1]

Nope.

There are 2 styles, 7 frame sizes, and 4 rocker arm sizes, 68mm, 72mm, 76mm and 80mm. A flat frame for each and a combo frame a half step above it.

The word is coming in on the A80 and it is "Phenomenal". Joe mounted them on his size 9 Flexlites and skated games in them tonight with all 76's.

Unbelievable stability and speed. Total agility and maneuverability with more confidence. All this from a player that knows. But, it's the same thing I said, so they're phenomenal for great skaters and ditto for the likes of me.

We also have some size 11.5 CCM's out there with some seriously big player in them, and he says the same thing about the performance.

We're talking about the lower end of the A80's boot range with size 9's but when I put them up against the size 13 Tacks I have, they look great. Better contact length than the ice blade on them.

For my boot size, which is 10, these are the best I've ever made, going away. They are almost as much of a jump over my A6's as the A6's are over reg frames.

As soon as we get more, we'll get some out to some big feets on the forum.

We're starting the pre-sale on the site September 1 for $125. Shipping is going up a few dollars thanks to the USPS, but still much less than Fedex etc.
