CCM U 2008 Skate Review

[jackntheboks]

I just learned to skate last year and pretty much suck, but I found these skates the 2008 U+ model for 160$ will these skates be good for me? I just bought at the end of last season CCM Vector 03... is the 160$ worth it for me?

[akaredcrossbow]

Great skates

[comradecommedy]

They suck dick!! terrible terrible skates tendon gaurd gets destroyed too easily, plus the runners dont do shit, i reccomend the 09 u+ is better

[mcchickenhockey]

this skate sucked. i absolutely hated it

[terdburgler99]

ti used my ccm u pros to cut my lawn last week ...and i must say ...there sweet!!! lol!

[10W7]

great video as always. just ordered these skates

[MajorROOST]

I have had these skates for three seasons now of pretty high compitiion hockey and they last

[Blueredme123]

Not to offend anyone thats got ccm's now its just im not too kean on them, don't know why

[MaharishiMahaYogi]

I got a pair of these on ebay new in the box for $150 bucks. I can now play like Wayne Gretzky. I hope they don't fall apart. My career will be over.

[akaredcrossbow]

What is the weight of this skate in grams

[10dman10]

ive had these skates for about a year now and there really good. the only problem i have had is the way they hold up. there not the most durable skates out there but preformance wise there great

[MAmoviesRS]

@locomoco444 he said boot, crackhead.

[WLF46]

lol..look at his shirt...graf>? why not bauer then;:)

[hockeyman1096]

he says boot

[juddarules30]

i have thise skates and they are realy good for spraying

[funnyhockey87]

ummm i guess it looks good, but i dont really like ccm skates. there sticks are alright

[Kal99]

to pajaarvi:

They're both great skates.

The best combination would be to have the CCM's but to install the Bauer Tuuk holders and blades. And go with copper rivets on teh whole skate instead of the mushroom type nail on the holder.

That's what I have and I love it. Fits great and corners like crazy. I also found out that what a lot of pro's do! You can find some "pro" models like that on eBay. If not, email me for my recommendation on these 2 skates.

[nativebostonian17]

i got these skates for 170 and it was deffinately worth it best skates iv ever had theyre increibly light and i have the traitional steel blade so i cant even imagine how light with the rocket runner,i play defense and there is no pain while getting hit in the foot. i would deff. recomend these skates

[pajaarvi]

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP.

I am either going to get these skates or the Vapor XXXX.

It seems like both of them have good things to them.

I especially like how the CCm U+ look.

Any recomendations?

Tips?

Opinions?

Thanks.

[ChristopherRobin94]

i have 40's and love them. I would go for the 40's, they're crazy stiff if thats what your looking for.

[Starselite23]

get the u+ reloaded skates.. they are more expensive but definately worth it, ccm worked out all the kinks that were in this skate. I had 40's, and i liked them but there are not nearly as good as the u+ reloaded

[1chrisy]

hey need someones help i just bought ccm skates and they are sore on my feet but when i tie them tight is cuts the circulation but i can gain more spped and control is that a good thing

[qiranwang]

could some1 please tell me whether ccm or easton skates are wider?

thanks

[FlaHockeyPlayer]

actually, they are both about the same, eastons are supposed to be wider at the balls of your feet, and tighter at the ankles, ccm is supposed to just be a normal fit

So if you have wider feet, get eastons, but then again, you can always get the ccms in like an e width

I would reccomend not buying them online, and going to a pro shop and see how they feel, and then make a decision

[FlaHockeyPlayer]

the balls of your feet is the part right before your toes

[tdenni]

i just bought the v08's with the rocket runners. is it true you can't rocker the rocket runners? i've used ccm for 15 years and have always rockered them to slant a touch forward.

[jrroyals20]

on any of the u+skate models can u flop the tounge so it stays over the laces like ovie has his tounges on his skates?

[df44xxx]

myne are light and stuff, saliing apart mesh bulbbed and is ripping im getting the x60s for sure

[qiranwang]

wut's the diff b/t u+ pro, 09 and 07???????

[modanokid9]

the 07 doesnt have the rocket runner i think?

[hockeymonster9]

can someone tell me if they fall apart easily.

b.c i just bought them and they feel nice and light, but it will be awhile till they are broken in.

so i wanna know if they will fall apart.

[HockeyUsDotCom]

This model had problems, so it's being replaced by 2009 model with all the fixed issues.  As far as if they fall apart, different people had different experience. Good luck

[BigSilky85]

I got a pair to test out. They are light, but you have to take care of them. The Surlyn cover tends to bubble when it gets wet and those bubbles can split.

Also, that Rocket Runner is ridiculous. If you don't have an experienced sharpener, they will just ruin the runner. It melted on mine.

Other than that, it's been fairly durable. And INCREDIBLY light.

[alexotto19]

i have them.

not the best of skates.

:s

[osta911]

these skates suck.

During the middle of the year the blade was nearly gone, and the blade bends everytime you take a puck to them.

$350-give or take a few bucks. Not worth it don't bother.

[MAXMANHCKY4]

i had these skates for 4 months and they fell apart. the "mesh" on the outside ripped immediately and the inside lining ripped aswell. not to mention they r beyond uncomfertable even after baking them. i just got the new rbk white 9k's and i love them. if u still want the u+ plus skates wait till the new ones come out. a reebok rep came to my lhs and they improved on alot of the components.

[RaNdOmProd96]

can review the ccm U+ stick please

[Phixion83]

It all depends on how wide your feet are, personally I can wear Nike Bauer or CCM, the rest are just too narrow for my feet.

I'm going to check my local skate shop tomorrow to see what I can get, i'll probably end up with CCM Vector 02's... I don't want to spend too much on em.

[tw1869]

the rocket runner blows

[Deathhunter992]

Any chance of a review of the ccm vector 10 skates? i know they're pretty old now but i was going to buy them and there are no vids of them

[DetroitRedWings80]

i have ccm skates which are so sharp if you stop hard youd break your ankle

[qiranwang]

lololololololol, i'm sure that it's not the skate's problem, it's just that your a week skater, keep on practicing bud.

[thefoxrider08]

you should get a u+ stick and the new u+CL

[jhanth]

hey can you PLEEASE review the ccm vector U+ stick? thank you!

[tw1869]

go to their website and they will probably do it

[buzgondavis15]

hey um just a suggestion but it would be nice if you could review the "cheaper" but good quality skates because with the economy in the USA and all i cant afford 400 or 500 dollars skates

[3viliz3d]

great vids

[SUNDIN2012]

I luv Reebok/CCM gear but their skates never feel or fit right.

[lynch390]

Yeah i like their stuff as well. I have their rbk 5k skates, and they seem to be pretty damn good. But I don't know how many pumps your suppose to give them?

[mhullings1969]

they are having problems with this skate if you are having trouble take them back to your retailer ccm will credit you for them. saw the new u plus pro worth waiting for!!!

[thewindcaller2]

i like my nike bauer vapor xxxx

[leafsrule16]

there okay but i prefer my custom 9k's with the +1.5 inch white felt tongues, the new lightspeed tuuks, ect.

[Huet2008]

nice, i appreciate you putting up these videos

[Hallihan15]

very nice skate but they fall apart so quickly. I had a pair of these for about 2 months and now they are falling apart too quick. Such a shame becuase it actually feels like its a part of your foot.
