Mission Helium 10,000s

[Superstar9]

I just got my helium 10,000s and they are absolutely awesome!! They are by far the lightest skate i've ever worn and the new hyper wheels are a big reason why they're lighter than last years 950's. The hyper wheel has a carbon fiber hub! These skates are great. Oh yeah, mission went back to traditional eyelits for all you who might be worried of a repeat disaster we had with them in 05'

and everyone knows that a carbon fibre wheel hub will reduce the overall skate weight by at least 5 grams(1/5 of an ounce) versus regular plastic....sorry but I think maybe there were some other more significant weight reductions than the carbon fibre wheel hubs....

ouch!! You're probably right but Im not seeing it. They did go to micros as well. None of that really matters though, I'll end up doing the same thing I did last year. Snatchin the original wheels off right away and puttin hornets on em.

Its Quattro 10000, not Helium, isn't it?

[Superstar9]

It's the Helium 10000... the "QUATRO" name is the name the R&D team at mission started referring to the skates as because the skates are appearently 4 times better in lightweight, strength, fit, and performance than any other skate on the market. Look it up in the new misison catalog if you can get your hands on one.
