V-Form Roller Hockey Skate Commercial 1

[AutenBrian3]

I'm looking to get a pair and put a nice Mission boot on em'. If anyone has the frames, let me know. I've skated on them a few times. Very different from regular inlines. They are more like ice skates. Stopping in the traditional sense doesn't work well, but you can slide into a stop and turn in a heartbeat. Several guys I played with in 01'-02' had em' and couldn't get used to them, but for the most part... I found them to perform really well.

I still play hockey in my V-Form Classics! I got them back in 99 & they're still looking like 2 seasons old! I take care of them. For the reason of "trying on new skates" and then I start to turn in them...I'm like...."what are these things cinder blocks?" I so feel that my V-Forms are STILL an investment that has paid for them self over 4 times now.

lol, are you guys on crack? These were practically the best inline skates ever made. Not much on the market today even comes close to the comfort and level of control you had with the v-form's. I still have a pair I use to this day. Playing travel hockey my whole life, those inline skates were the closest feeling to my Graf 707's.

those were so gaaayyy! and the players in the commercial suck, couldnt they find any real players lol.."pto-beach hockey players" were real bad too

i never understood those things, i heard you could stop like they're ice skates

[niftylouis]

you could stop on them like ice skates, I played on them in Florida in the late 90's, still have my pair. All of the technology for roller hockey reached its peak in the late 90's. The design of these skates was superb and perhaps ahead of its time. on a polished surface in Destin, I could do a friction hockey stop on the dime, and change direction like on the ice. On a dupont paved candy shell surface on Hurlburt Field (Home of Air Force Special Ops), I could do the same, but grittier stops

They are probably the gayest skates ever!!

[Punkfeis]

I used to love them! But honestly, for hockey... don't think so
