Thinking about getting my skates contoured ...

[prenny207 1]

I hear ya. I got into it with a guy who said that every person should skate with a 3/8" radius. He was shocked to hear I skate in a 7/8". People are retards.

well, it really all comes down to prefference. i grew up with 3/8, i have switched to 1/2. ive tried flatter, but i just can't get comfortable. skating style, weight, rink "conditions" all come into play. i got a buddy that skates at 5/16... personally i think he's nutz and i yell at him when he asks me to sharpen his skates, but thats what he likes... oh well. to each his own. like i said earlier, i was just suppriesed to see 1 1/16...

It's all part of my master plan. I'm seeing how far I can go without killing myself. Tommorow, we go shallower. I call it operation Paul Coffey. I was told he ended up over 2 and a half so I'm going to see how high I can go. Right now I'm only coaching so its really nice for trying it out, I cannot wait to give some of these a go in a real game though (hopefully after my Exams). I'll definately give an update. It was kind've weird, I felt awkward between 3/4 and 1", but since I'm over it now I feel really good. I've also heard the majority of NHLers are on 5/8.

One of the contouring guys, Maximum Skate or maximum Edge, in Michiagn and the Smart Hockey guy have all confirmed the pitch difference on the T-Blades. Yes, they don't advertise it as 99% of the world could care less due to ignorance. But, they really do have a difference.

Try this- skate with the same hollow, 13, 15, whatever. Then go from an S to a L...big difference.

No big deal just what I've found to be true in our little world.

I think the main max edge guy is an arrogant self promoter.

Chadd,

I agree....but he still has some knowledge.

Oh yeah, the TBlade guys confirmed the pitch as well when I went by their booth at the LPH show in Vegas a couple of years ago. I think that was before they were bought. Don't see it in print though.

Glad to be back...Shameless plug...maybe....But would solve what he is trying to accomplish....

Can't wait to see the new Roller skates we built over there....Should be interesting....

[Kovy_Ribs_Fedo 3]

will there be another white version like the He950?

[Justin 1933 134]

will there be another white version like the He950?

Way to early to say....We are in the early stages of development....

[Chadd 916]

Not to mention the Pitch's would mount up to the holes on his skates now.

cough...BLACK PITCH...cough...hairball...

You really need to use some of that hairball remover when cleaning yourself. Side note: anyone remember the SNL sketch where Will Farrell took yoga just so he could.....well.......I think you get the idea.
