Rink Rat And Bauer/Nike Team Up

[dgaronzik 1]

Just read over on IHC that Rink Rat and Bauer/Nike have come to an agreement for Rink Rat to be the sole wheel provider for BNH. If you ask me, this is a huge deal that they were able to make. I know that BNH doesnt sell as many roller hockey skates as Mission or Tour, but for Rink Rat to land this must be a huge deal to them. Gotta say congrats to them.

Wonder if I can get Nike/Bauer to send me a set of rinkrats for my new Mega 20-90s :)

Lol, nice. You like them? Im still contemplating switching to S400's over the summer. I cant quite get used to the lacing system of the D1C's and if the fit is right of the wider S400's and I'll get an L2 with it then it might be tempting enough.

I like the fit of them, they're very well ventilated and just as light as the d1c. I got them because they look to be very durable for outdoor use. Generally I use two or three pair of inlines. I'm going to try the Bauers outdoor, if I like them I'll get another pair for indoor. I really haven't used them "in the wild" yet.

Right now I have a pair of G-90s that I use indoor. I'll also be having a pair of generators mounted (by jr) to some type M boots. Whatever I like best wins I guess.. ;)

Geki, seems like you start to collect skates as much as you collect gloves, hum?

Damn thats gonna be a collection! I can't wait for next year, I should actually be getting money back, this year I was even. I've been trying not to get a bigger deduction since Im helping to support the little lady till she's done Law School.

Make sure she wants the ring on her finger *before* you start supporting her financially! Trust me on this one..

sorry to get preachy, but if I had a dollar for every 'convenient for one party' college relationship that ended immediately upon receiving a carreer/degree I'd be a rich rich man.

She definetly wants the ring, we've been dating for almost 2.5 years, almost lived together for 2 years already too. Once she's done law school I'll be a very happy man, I dont know what I'll do when she's actually able to help with the rent/bills.

I made the same mistake before too, 'loaned' an ex some money while we were together. That should have made the light go off in my head but it took another two months after that till I realized I was making a horrible mistake.

Anyone notice that the post regarding Rink Rat being with Nike is gone from CB and sealweenies (roller site)?

Interesting...Second thoughts by Nike?

[dgaronzik 1]

Interesting, its gone from IHC too.

Probably waiting till they get rid of all those Labeda equipped skates until they bring out the announcement again....probably too many requests for skates equipped with Rink Rat Wheels since they made the announcement.

With the popularity of Irish's Sealweenies site I imagine that too many calls for rink rats to be added recently bought skates resulted in that action for the time being.

Anyone else think its kinda exciting to have Factory, revision and Rink rats coming out to challenge the big boys?

Should make for some interesting developments and claims of new technolgies!

[dgaronzik 1]

I think its very exciting indeed. Having only skated on Rink Rats so far, Im definetly looking forward to trying Factory at the very least. Nice to have more options then Hyper and Labeda.
