I have some very lightly used Mission WM01 skates for sale. Original Addiction wheels would come with them, those have never been used. I will post the link here in case anyone wants to take a look, or message with any offers. I have them listed high but would negotiate. Not sure if I’m allowed to post it here but if it gets taken down oh well.

Looking to get shin pads for roller hockey and thinking to get them much smaller than what I use for ice. I don’t see why they should go any lower than feathering the top of skate tongue. We play w plastic puck which I think wouldn’t penetrate through that mm gap, but then get to enjoy lower weight, more mobility, and less heat build up. I’d be greatful to hear experience/opinion on this

Vapors do not work for me at all, heel is too hard and narrow. I get bauer bumps pretty bad

Been using Tour KV1, but the heel lock is starting to feel a little loose after a year, and maybe slightly too deep fit? I feel like if the vapor had more foam in the back of the heel it'd be fine. I've tried fit 2 vapors BTW.

I'm also getting some fit 2 Supremes converted, but curious to see what other people have experience. These Daoust skates look interesting

I used to play over 15 years ago and now I’m getting back into some men’s league but obviously I need all new gear. Anyone have any recommendations for stuff that won’t break the bank?

Hi! I’m a high-level inline hockey player and I’ve had severe sole, toe, and heel pain for almost 2 years. It started only while skating, but progressed to daily burning pain, numbness, tingling, and pain even at rest.

For 2 years I was treated for plantar fasciitis with no improvement. A new orthopedist recently said it likely isn’t plantar fasciitis and suspected neuropathy, so I was referred to neurology. I had an MRI with contrast and ultrasound for this neurologist and was prescribed Pregabalin 150 mg/day, amitriptyline (Anapsique 12.5 mg), and Thioctaid 1 a day.

I haven’t been able to train or skate for 3–5 months because of the pain. The MRI showed no obvious nerve compression or major nerve branch damage, but also no clear cause for the neuropathic pain, just a slight irritation in the tibial nerve region.

My neurologist now suspects a possible rare genetic neuropathic disease (can’t tell which one and don’t have information bout my family, I’m adopted), and mentioned that if medications help, I may return to training, but a biopsy could also be needed to identify the cause.

Today Sunday 10th may I’ve reached 1 week on this medications doses, feeling a little improvement but still not feeling ready to skate and play.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Especially skaters/hockey players with neuropathy-like foot pain? Did medications help enough to return to sport?

Looking to get some new wheels, have been consistent with using Rink Rat Tricksters but open to trying new wheels. What’s the go to wheels now? I am using 72 and 76 size and in the tricksters I was using XXX grip.

Considering swapping a different chassis onto an existing pair of boots. My concern is they were originally ice boots that has Marsblade R1 installed and now I'd want to install a Rink Rat chassis so that'd be 3 sets of holes. I've had countless chassis and holders swapped onto roller/ice boots without issue but have only ever had to drill 1 set of new holes, not 2.

Boots can't be found anymore so simply buying another pair for the conversion isn't an option. How much of a concern is there for drilling another set of holes? If filling existing holes is a recommendation, what would you use to do that and would there still be durability concerns to the outsole?

Hey, I have the alkali cele 2 size 7 which comes with 76/72 wheel size but im planning to change them to a 76/80 as I used to play before, will this chasis fit them or they are to big?
