kingjames23rulz 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2007 Hey, I was wondering how you can have your tongues out, where they stay out without moving around. An example of what I would like it to look like is Erik Johnson, http://editorial.gettyimages.com/Search/Search.aspx 3rd row middle pic is a perfect example.

Sven 1 Report post Posted May 27, 2007 Well if you bend them in the radius or angle you want them, take a razorblade (or something sharp) and make a small cut where it bends. I cant give you a pic, check pics (sellsection, ebay, etc.) for pro stock skates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TBLfan 25 Report post Posted May 27, 2007 you score the tongues...Take a piece of cardboard and try to bend a straight line. ok, not take another piece of cardboard and a razor blade, barely cut through the first layer... now try to bend it along that line.

Fire0nIce228 1 Report post Posted May 27, 2007 Fold it over, and cut the sides of your fold a little so it lays flatter.Or , take your foot out, fold it, tape it down overnight, and in morning it should stay down somewhat better.If you decide to use a razor, dull it down some so you don't hurt yourself.

bobovski 1 Report post Posted July 20, 2007 If you decide to use a razor, dull it down some so you don't hurt yourself.Based upon some of the responses by the OP, I think this is sage advice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joshy207 15 Report post Posted July 20, 2007 Man, why is it that I'm seeing a "I cut my leg with a razor blade" thread in the future?... or "I got cut with a skate blade right above my bent tongue"... or "I broke my leg when I got hit with a shot right above my bent tongue".Shin guards over tongue, tongue tight to leg. Anything else is asking for trouble. It's not a friggin' fashion show, Joe McGrath. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
