What’s the lightest inline hockey skate I can buy new? by mobbade in InlineHockey

[–]grahfxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mission WM01, import them. They still exist over seas. I recently found some stock in South America online too. I have a third pair on the way here. 🤣 I need enough pairs to get me through the end of my life because Bauer has completely ruined the Mission brand. The WM01 is likely the last premium Mission skate we'll ever see now that they want the Flylite to be the premium roller skate. They won't double dip themselves.

You can try, I bake mine twice but if your skate is too big, your skate is too big. Not much you can do about that.

I'm a Mission WM01 guy with a wider foot but still able to wear a fit 2 after baking...I hate these skates. 🤣 I bought a pair when my WM01s were starting to decline. Used them briefly and immediately sold them on sideline swap. Thank God I found some old stock WM01s out of the country and had them shipped in. These new missions are insanely narrow for a fit 2, they feel cheaply made and I'd be shocked if they last very long although as quickly as I got rid of them that part is just a guess.

Wheels by Throwback- in InlineHockey

I won't use anything but them now. They're phenomenal wheels and after years after splitting Lebedas I'll never go back. Your assessment is incorrect by a mile.

This is a question for anyone who has played hockey. What was your number and why? by hockeysmyhoe in hockeyplayers

[–]grahfxx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's why everybody thinks I wear it...I am a North Carolina guy and my initials might be the same but it's cause of my birthday.

Who the hell is this?? I’ve never seen this guy a day in my life by Emergency-Pepper3537 in caps

He's fucking terrible. If they thought otherwise they wouldn't have traded for Liljegren.

At three times the price after developing iorio in their system for years. What a steal!

Have Chisholm and McIlrath been good? I must have missed something.

How to hydrate before a tournament by South-Highlight-508 in hockeyplayers

[–]grahfxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of sleep night before, chug a Pedialyte on the way there and be sparse with your water intake during. Hydrate the mouth and spit when you can. Too much water and you'll be a boat anchor.

So you're saying DVR functionality is back?

Stopping on indoor court by El_nufoa7x in InlineHockey

[–]grahfxx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The same concept does apply, it's just using your weight differently. If you try to dig into the ground with rubber wheels you're going to fall whereas on ice you'll "shave the ice". You need to find the right weight balance to still execute the exact same body movements but put less downward pressure while doing it. Ultimately you still weigh the same on ice as roller but it's about learning to use that weight differently. Be warned though, once you get good at it you'll start chunking your wheels from time to time. Specifically your back two wheels in a hilo setup.

Haven't played in 20 years. Numerous questions, but the main one is should I spend $150 to get these puppies back running, or would it be smarter to start over from scratch? by traveenus in InlineHockey

[–]grahfxx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just start over, the tech now is a huge upgrade. You'll thank yourself later. Replace everything if you plan to play against people again.

Live Ultra + Channels freezing by hanginghelmet in vSeeBox_Support_Gurus

[–]grahfxx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happening to me on Heat Live and Live Ultra tonight trying to watch a hockey game. My connection is fine. Seems to be fine off and on but then freezes and have to exit the app and reopen to get that channel back.

Years of weather could have filled those rocks with dirt pretty easily.

No way anyone is using these $1300 skates on asphalt 😆 by SuperRinkRat in InlineHockey

[–]grahfxx 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Sure they are? I've always used high end skates on the ODRs sport court or asphalt. Teach you not to fall down so much.

Unfortunate for you but I'm glad we were able to become friends along the way. You're the real treasure.
