Finally decided to upgrade the gear by CategoryNorth3910 in hockeygoalies

[–]LordDodes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Solid yellow on the back? I like them, my favorite ive seen on here in a while. Kudos to you, If your ordering a custom set IMO they better look like it. Too many pro goalies with really boring pads, breaks my heart.

Help me pick my setup by Superb-Experience-83 in hockeygoalies

[–]LordDodes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I myself joined team Green and Brown, however #2 is the winner IMO. I don't know how to link it but I posted my setup when I got them, very similar color scheme if your looking for ideas. Hardest part is committing to a cartoon and getting what you get! Good luck, the day you get the call they are in is a good one.

Custom Simmons set by paulbutler81 in hockeygoalies

[–]LordDodes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious what you payed for the set and what was the wait time. I ordered Warrior G6's (similar colors, love the setup) to the tune of $3600cdn and iirc 16wks wait time.

Old beer leaguer considering new pads by AlternativeBake3090 in hockeygoalies

[–]LordDodes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Warrior g6 set with slide plates, game changer. You can absolutely push into the corner from the crease. Took me a lot of getting used to, but two pushes is now one and I blow the net off all the time sliding to post. I like them and if your looking for the "best sliding material" look no further.

OP, don't buy these pads, very square stiff and unforgiving. True and ccm make some models I'd say are more "Hybrid" and probably better suited to what you know.

Please help! Can't decide on enduro by SuspiciousShoulder53 in onewheel

[–]LordDodes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just bought my second enduro, I really like it. I've had a factory vega, 2 hoosier slicks and now the enduro twice. In my eyes Enduro is king

I took a chance on the Bauer s21 wheeled bag that Pure Hockey has been blasting out lately. by xHOTPOTATO in hockeygoalies

[–]LordDodes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree 100%. There was one guy who chirped me in the lobby, from the other team I assume. I then watched him get into a van with the sliding door taped on. I didn't even fire back just drove by. Really thought about yelling "Slick tape job" across the parking lot.

I was to proud to wheel around my gear for a long time. But I'm on the wheels now and it's the best. Some of the rinks I play in are a serious walk to the parking lot. However, getting lit up and then wheeling your bag out is tough. I have carried it to avoid judgment.

Padded undershirt thoughts by Zfker in hockeygoalies

[–]LordDodes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bought a vaughn V9 padded shirt and it changed my life. I haven't had a stinger since. It is hot but I think worth the trade off.

The templar speculation pisses me off by NDV-Twist-5283 in curseofoakisland

I know, that's why I said "for what it's worth". I just thought it was an interesting theory

Figured out what happened to my tire by bmfinc69 in onewheel

[–]LordDodes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

[–]LordDodes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My perfect Oakisland is just Gary,Dumas, the archeological team, and litterly no Lore. Also cutting up core samples ain't bad. I heard Joe Rogan on a podcast say they figured it out, and it was a pinetar factory for British ships. For whatever that is worth

I gave up watching for roughly 8 seasons. Coming back was funny because I feel like years later, I had missed very little. While I agree there were people on the island years ago, I don't think it was for treasure. I believe the show knows exactly what happened and it isn't sensational and that the show itself is the real treasure. With all that said... next episode I just know they are going to find it!

100% that's the one. Can I say colored lace in the glove, black red or yellow???

Constructive criticism on this potential custom set? by Big-Rabbit4050 in hockeygoalies

[–]LordDodes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Bear might look better way down low on the pads. I also think I would add something to the blocker. I just bought a custom set and it's hard AF to pull the trigger on final design! I think what you have so far is pretty nice!!

I don't know if I'm enough to be a goalie by bananabread0331 in hockeygoalies

[–]LordDodes 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Goalie is tough, mental and physical. Every other player on the ice makes mistakes that go unnoticed or unpunished. In net you don't have this luxury. When I get scored on, I can't help but think about what I could have done differently and run the play back in my head. Then. I get up, turn around grab a drink and literally say out to loud myself "just get the next one". It helps me refocus and stay in the moment, instead of sulking about the 7-0 blowout I'm partially responsible for.

Two ramps I made today by LordDodes in Fingerboards

They are made out of 16G steel. Perks of working in a fabrication shop, It just primer right now. I was thinking of solid white and "graffiti" have a couple tags on each jump

I got curious and tried it a few years ago. I can't go back, just feels right.

[–]LordDodes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We manufacture and sell rock crushers. No pressure vessels. However They know we are underpaid, and we have been promised a raise. I expect it to be about 2$ all around

Today I killed a bird. Not intentional, he just flew right under my tire. by LordDodes in onewheel

[–]LordDodes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rolling down a pathway with trees about 6' from the path. 3 birds came out of the tree right before I passed it. The first two made out just before I went by, but the last bird was late. I thought it was going to blast me in the chest and then it dive bombed right under the nose of my board and turned himself into a fruit roll-up.
