So I’ve been watching all these skate reviews, buying tips etc etc. But it just all seems to be the same to me, aside from the obvious performance/material and comfort differences that come with higher prices. What would you recommend for me to get for the new season? I’m on the ice at least once a week for about 4-5 hours at a time. I maybe get off 2 times for a drink. I’m around 1.85cm, 80-85Kgs with shoesize 43(8 for US)my feet do tend to be bigger than normal in width and some height, depending on the shoebrand. I’m fine with spending up to 300$ for a new pair. (if it turns out what I need costs more, that’s fine. I’ll wait an extra month to buy them)

Hope some actually knowledgeable people could help me out here 🙂

Cheerio hip hip

You’re channel is amazing

Where can you get a leather hone for the blades?

Would love to see a video on the different types of blades on the market. LS4/LS5/Step steel/Tydan DLC/Massive Blade

Hey chris! What are some cons from the black steel? My trusted hockey store told me that they are kind of gimmicky and once the coating breaks (due to stepping on a stone or what not) you’ll have to toss the steel! Any thoughts? Thanks for the video!

Would you guys consider doing a video comparing something like the 2s pro and 2s? Top price point and second price point

Unless you are a pro 800 dollars for skates just isnt worth it.

I was told by an employee of a sports store when I bought a pair of skates that I should tighten the screws in the plastic blade holder “every few games” is there truth to that or no? The front screw on one of my skates won’t tighten anymore, I feel like tightening the screws doesn’t do anything.

Love your channel and everything you’re doing. Keep up the great work!

I moulded my skates but they still hurt my feet sometimes do you think I need to tie my laces a lot tighter

Great video man, keep em coming

So one of the biggest factors to determine which skates you should get, is how often you are on the Ice. Im only only on the ice 3 times a week so I should just stick with the 9070.

Mid range sticks vs high end sticks Btw awesome vid !

Interesting review but I can’t help feeling that it sounds more like a marketing video than a critical review as you repeat the manufacturer’s claims in an uncritical manner. I’ll give as an example of reality versus marketing clams the Bauer 1S elbow pads. Bauer claim the liner is moisture wicking. In my experience it traps moisture, and they take longer to dry out afterwards due to the liner. In other words the liner does not work as claimed, quite the opposite. They also use a fancy marketing name for the pad at the elbow, FlexOrb, which is just a bit of squishy plastic, and not as good as D3O used by CCM. That said, they are very good pads, but marketing spiel needs to be taken with a puck sized lump of salt. Incidentally a mate has carbon fibre boots, Easton I think, they lasted 8 years, far longer than the non carbon fibre boots he had before, which went soft after a few years. He is an aggressive freestyler.
