how to do it big style

those ice hockey injuries look positivly painfull

A neighbor, in his 40's, caught a stick in the eye, which basically exploded.  He commented how glad he was that he had two eyes.  If I was playing, especially at a rec level, I'd be inclined to wear a visor.

I understand about the rec level play but I grew up with NO helmet, and very few pads so this visor thing is killing me. I also am now and have been for years that the introduction of the face mask/cage/visor has been a very unhealty thing for hockey. Imo it promotes sloppiness with the sticks and leads to much more high sticking then was ever true prior.

DD, I am triply sorry for the loss of your work time and that marvelous sounding vacation. Fred

the beaches of spain, now theres an idea

i spent the best part of 6 years vacations (2 a year) we'd drive 42 hours non stop to spain to go windsurfing in the windiest place in europe

its only 4 hours by plane but they wont take a quarter tonne (metric) of windsurfing gear for 15 people

we were a bit serious about it, two or three boards and 8-10 rigs each, at christmas we took snow boards to the mountains as well

Hi,

  Umm, dirtydeeds?  If this is what you call a "Member Project" (there is a pun in that) I think you are on the wrong forum.

        Sorry that happened to you. (really)  :'(

                        And about your cancelled plans, especially since you were going to bring over a bunch of NAINA stuff

DD--

Las Vegas will still be available for your 51st, and by then your pound should be worth, oh, 3.00, 3.75 USD.

Dan, at 52 years old I and 47 years of playing hockey I have just moved to a half visor.  ;D Fred

I won't go with either.  I play with a full cage.  I ain't that pretty but I likes having all my tooths.  ;D

Chuck, just can't get used to the cage and feel like my vision is just really hampered. Not that I like the half visor but at least it does not hamper my vision at all. Fred

 

[Charles Wilson]

Why not use a cage and cut out some of it for "eye holes"?

Some of the guys also use a goalie cage on their helmets.

    Ouch !!! Hope you are feeling better ! the idea is to cut the wood mate no your thumb  . And just to add a little DD I got run over by a semi truck (Arctic in our language) and needed some serious back surgery but The Dr said it would have to wait for a while (for swelling to go down and such) and just patched me up) after doing some research I ended up going home to the U.K for the surgery top notch job too! Hope you get that hand mobile soon.

Colin.

Chuck, I tried that and still hated it. I guess I am too freakin stubborn.  ;D Fred
