The subtlety of that mask is just one design element. It's no different than asking if a direct copy of Rask's bear mask is stealing. The content is irrelevant.

Awesome, congrats Max. Glad to know you have some new gear .

It's Christmas time. Check your phone.

@Max27 and @ThatCarGuy I hope this thread is just pages and pages of you guys in about...oh...96 hours.

I am not from that culture

Ha. Not to detract from the childishness of the bike question, but it is actually news to me

Ha. The best is: CCM?...."the bike company?"

Do you push your head forward like a turtle too? It reminds me of when dudes try to show off their physique by leaning forward to crunch their abs in a standing sit-up, which looks so ridiculous. It's terrible posture and not flattering at all.

I never noticed how much he stands like Giguere, threatening you with his shoulder numbers.

The best part is that there are zero other things in that fridge. Atta boy.

Yes, please.

Great points. Put Price in Passau gear tomorrow, with the name visible, and their website would crash in no time. It's a guaranteed way to get busier. But again, kudos to them if they don't desire that at this point.

Sours are beers I enjoy a sip of, but I can't drink a whole one. Here in Seattle, we are supremely spoiled by being surrounded by great beer (and hop farms). It's one of the more wonderful parts of this city.

As odd as it is that someone would just outright choose to pay for gear with a custom graphic rip-off, it's equally odd that Battram would then put it on social media to say "look what I did!." They could technically make this stuff and be more discreet about it. But nope, both the customer and the maker are proud of it and have no issues with showing it off without concern.

I imagine because it's not technically or legally wrong. Ethically wrong is different. It definitely rubs me the wrong way.

Even so, it's hard to imagine wanting a CCM graphic so badly without wanting actual CCM gear. Is there a huge enough price difference in CCM and Battram to even make sense of ordering a straight clone of graphic? If you're going to pay a guy to make completely custom gear who is capable/willing to directly copy a graphic, why not get your own personal graphic unique to you? It's a nice graphic but it isn't amazing enough to justify a custom rip-off of it when, apparently, you can get any graphic whatsoever made for you.

Ah, it could be just the lighting and the conformity to context, but the actual metal pieces there look brown to me.

Thanks. I had no idea they had different color magnet clips. Nice.

Ha. Whoa. Nice catch. Totally missed that

Nice! These are the first VE8s I've seen in the tan/brown. Any chance you can flip the pads over so we could see the back?

Always a good first post to show your swanky new gear. Looks awesome, congrats and welcome.

Awesome, good to know. Turns out I knew you 4 , wasn't sure if there were more. Thanks Chenner.

What is the current roster of moderators on here? Just curious to know and also I would like to send you all high fives and fist bumps and all those things for a job well done keeping this site civil and respectful and positive. Thank you all for volunteering your time.

Ha! Whoa.

With my Boston colors gear I was on a red team for a while and people called me Ronald McGoalie.
