Srsieve Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Here's a few other business ads that I want to see on someone's pads: You may have started a whole new industry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srsieve Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Finally, truth in advertising! Would also be awesome on a set of pads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnyman666 Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 It's all over the Euro leagues, so I am doing nothing new... However- local businesses such as Mr Beaver and Mike Bunghole would benefit from advertising on a beer leaguer's goalie pads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostender Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I think you need to go high-tech. I am not sure how they do it, but when you watch on TV in some rinks ads can be superimposed (for lack of a better word) on certain section of the boards/sidewalls etc. and changed every few minutes (or less - probably dependent on some remunerative scale). You need to apply that technology to your pads. One minute a kick-save shows "Joe the Bartender", next you go into the splits and up pops the "Viagra" ad (ooooh - entendre alert!)

Actually- in many occasions, it is green screen or similar type of technology. Though the tech that allows ads on the end glass is intriguing, as the glass panels are CERTAINLY not green, but you do not see the ads in the rink. Being that people would pay to NOT see my games on tele, the high tech stuff would not be a good bet fiscally from an investment perspective. But good onya for thinking ahead of the curve.

bunnyman666 Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 One of Sara's smart design features is saving the lacing cord from the toe cap of the skates I am using. Pix to come... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnyman666 Posted March 10, 2017 Author Share Posted March 10, 2017 Here is the smart design: These are Jenpro loops to protect the lacing cord. Had that not been there, it could have been problematic with the toe cap design flaw on my VH skates. I have already Shoe Goo'd it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnyman666 Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 Puck marks piled up on the last adverts, so here is the new one: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DALV1 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 How have these pads been working out? Interested in hearing how your designs work in " real life" now that you've had them awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnyman666 Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 I have slight under-rotation on my right pad. Has to be a strapping problem, in which I am working on, as the left pad is square when in the butterfly. I took out one layer of pad in the shin section. I also started to use Monster HALs with the Zenzola spec and go through my Lundy loop and my toes don't rub the inside boot of the skate. The shock cord Sara uses is actually TOO strong and kept the boot on the toe, making it rub worse! In retrospect, I would have designed the one piece landing with a bit more bend, but I don't know how it would have been done. That was on me- Sara did NOTHING wrong here. I also would have done separate knee and shin stacks, going with the max height for the knee stack. The rebounds are INSANE with these pads! Over all, I am satisfied with the pad.

DALV1 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Glad to hear this,they look amazing. The protector on the cord is a great idea as my Brian's have just begun to wear through. Like you I believe this is more a skate issue than pad construction. I wouldn't be surprised to see some of yours or Sara's ideas begin to show up with the big guys.

I wouldn't be surprised to see some of yours or Sara's ideas begin to show up with the big guys. The single knee/calf flap was not my idea. I saw it on Winlites, Aeroflex, CCM Blockades, and Factory Mad. Each one executes differently. But thanks for the compliments. By all means if the pads were poorly built, it would show in spades. It is a shock cord/skate issue. I have more ideas brewing for my next set... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DALV1 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Wish I had those loops instead of the wound thread and blue duct tape I have now... Simple enough design and you only need 6-8 inches of length max on the boot. Hopefully Sara found a way to patent it if that's possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
