Hello
I am an Irish inline hockey player and about 2-3 months ago i bought a pair
of Mission Detonator RM skates. Up to then i have always used NIKE but i
made the change for a few reasons at the time. I play defense and over the
weekend i was looking at the chassis on my one skate and it was slightly
bent towards the back. it wasnt too bad and it wasnt affecting my skating so
i left it. After that while playing an important game over the weekend i
blocked a waist shot that skimmed along the ground and hit my chassis. all
of a suddent i couldnt skate?. it turns out that the puck bent my chassis so
far in it jammed one of the wheels!!. it was an average shot and i couldnt
believe it. has anyone else had any of these problems? and what can i do
about it?. i dont have the receipt from the shop i bought it in and the shop
has since closed. all along i though mission were good but now i dont think
much of their skates?. any advise or information would be good.

look through the posts in Product reviews, there is a recent posting on the board about bent Mission chassis, and contact info to get hold of Mission. See "Justin" in that post section - I believe the address is www.missionhockey.com. If you cant find another dealer over there - you could order a Red Star or Labeda chassis on line I'm sure at maybe www.HockeyGiant.com or one of the other major sites for not too much money.

Some of the Mission chassis were not 7000 series aluminum I'm pretty sure. Good luck and read through the other posts in "Product Reviews" and I'm sure you will find some answers.

Hello again!

By the way....is inline hockey popular over there? Hope it's not become a game of hurling on skates lol - not to diminish that sport of course, but we might have trouble playing an Irish team with that kind of background over here. :-)

Yep, read other posts.
But in short, bent chassis means your SOL. imo
