First Ice-Time

[quicky32]

hey guys,

Just came back from an hour and a quarter ice time with my new set. HOLY CRAP I have a lot of getting used to. Right now my set up is:
-33" RBK 8K Turco Breaks
-RBK 8K Trapper
-RBK P2 Blocker
-RBK pro series pants
-V3 C/A
-Vector 4.0 skates
and the other stuff that doesn't matter as much. I came from 32" 7.8 Xfactors. I loved those pads but I grew out of them. With the RBK Pro pants, they're so bulky and squares. It's like wearing blocks with holes cut in them for your legs. Is there any modding i can do to make them more mobile? Also for the pads, I'll probably have to get used to but damn! They're so stiff! Sorry just kind of ranting and asking a question. Suggestions would be nice

You've got turco breaks so don't worry, after two or three more ice times the stiffness will be pretty much gone.

and you'll get used to the boxiness of the pads as well. I wen't from deer stuffed McM's to CCM Vector pros and I was like WOAH haha. But now I love the vectors.

its not the boxiness of the pads that i'm not used to its the pants. I had a set of junior Itech4.8 pants and now I have RBK Pro Series pants, HUGE difference. I guess all this takes getting used to but damn! I hate this, I was so excited to get on the ice, but when I'm out there, I feel like a big blob that can't move. I'm sure all of you guys have gone through this.
