Mission D1 skates

[missionhockey21]

Hey, I just got them in the mail today, and I can confidently say they are much better than my last pair of mission skates,vsi vibes. They are probably the lightest pair of skates, maybe even as light as the wicked lights. Plus they are pretty comfortable, but I hope will be a lot more comfortable when I get them skate baked. I would have put some outdoor wheels on and gone out to skate, but it's snowing like crazy over here

dude u got to tell me how they feel. cuz i really really really want to get them in the worst way. the turning, the stopping, the speed fill me in thanks

I can give you more info when I really get the chance to break them in, but here is what I can tell you after having them for a few hours. The speed is very nice, and that is with regular old abec 7's, I plan to put my mini bearings in and see how it is. Both the turning and stopping were excellent, and that is me skating as fast as I can in my house, trying to avoid tables and countertops. The skates are super light, plus the boot is great. It's like your foot and the boot are one, it conforms to your foot. And the boot is probably a big reason why the turning, stopping and speed were so much improved. I plan to put some outdoor wheels on when it stops snowing here so I can really break them in. The boot is pretty comfortable, my feet started to get a little sore when I first started skating in them, but that gradually stop, nothing a skate bake can't fix. On looks, I like the D1 looks over the G90's. Anyways I hope this helps any questions you had dude10k, I'll let you know more when I get the chance to find out, put it this way they are much better than anything with a vibe on it.

Where did you get your new skates from?

[missionhockey21]

I ordered them through my local proshop from mission.

[gpersch]

how much did they cost you?

[missionhockey21]

With the shipping, about $405.

[gpersch]

ok..last question...What shop did you get them at, and do you know the number?

thanks

[missionhockey21]

The only reason I got them was because me and the owner are pretty close, and he got in about 10 pairs early and he let me buy one of the pairs, he isn't going to get his shipment for the store (about 35) till December 20th, so you would be better off buying off the internet because you would get them earlier, that is what my brother is doing.

so you recommened them over the G90s? hmm........ I've been debating whether to go D-limited/D-1 or G90 to replace the RTx I've got now......

Does anyone know where I can buy a pair of the new 2003 Mission D-Limited skate. I cannot find a website selling them. If anyone know let me know.

thaks

[missionhockey21]

I looked on a lot of sites and couldn't find them anywhere. Maybe you should contact mission and ask them about it, but I as far as I know they are near impossible to find.

[missionhockey21]

I don't know, thye are both high quality skates and I don't think you will be dissapointed either way. My brother swears by the G90's and I with the D1's. If you read the specs on the skates they are very similiar. But like I said they are both real nice, the only reason I went with the D1's is because I slightly prefer missions over tours.

from what I received in an email you cannot buy them on the internet, you need to go to a retailer and ask if they are ordering any.
