At the bottom i don´t know if i shall go red or black..

I'd go with the logo in black, and the top and bottom bindings black as well. I think it looks much better than the red logo. Also I'd make sure you go with black on the inside fabrics as well. It'll make it look nicer longer. It should be the only selection on the customizer that doesn't offer a weave variant.

Hey guys,

I have a very minor problem that is just down right bothering me. Well with my sliding toe bridges on only my right side keep in mind my skate lace has ripped 3 times. Ive bought waxed laces hoping that maybe that would solve anything but after one use they were cut through completely. Also i have that the same pad on the right leg is always rotated out like when i get up its sorta still out doesnt rotate back like it should. Ive tried like what one member here said on a review by putting the boot strap through the middle part of the cowling rather than the back. But if maybe you guys can let me know what i can do to solution the problem of my skate lace because 5 bucks everytime it breaks is just annoying. Never happend before untill now so any help would be apperciated.

Are they getting cut because you are stepping on them or what? How much slack do you leave in the sliding toe laces?

[fleury fan]

completey random but is smith coming out with any new gear soon?

[jbgd825]

Seeing as how there's no real "innovation" going on in goal equipment right now, I think Mr. Smith has got pretty much all of the bases covered with his line of equipment. And since he runs on a custom order basis he has no reall need to come out with a new "line" unless that means just making a popular feature, which is not standard on one of his pads, a new stock feature. Any new "line" of equipment would simply be what Reebok did with the PSIII. A new graphic and very minor tweaks.

And since smith allows custom graphics there's no real point for that.....

[admanimal]

There have been changes to the 5000 model since it came out that are just about as significant as the changes from the PS2-PS3 (i.e. graphics and minor tweaks).

He's sketching and stuff, but nothing on the production table yet.

Maybe by Spring or Summer.

His 3 current models pretty much compete with all different styles out now from the big names.

I dont think i am? im not sure but i dont leave any slack they already came with a knot when i recived them so when i get a new lace i have it the same way as it came. Should i just have it with no knot and completly against the skate?

Ray, what skate model do you wear? And do you cross the lace in the first hole of the cowling?
