BAUER VAPOR ROCKER 2

The Rocker with the Blue Chassis offers the lightweight and forward flex advantages of the Vapor design plus the benefits you get from the Rocker Chassis. These skates definitely turn better then the conventional chassis due to the dynamic movement of the Rocker Plate and are also quicker off the mark because of the increased wheel contact with each stride. The Rockers offer stacks of features for the price. Once your used to the Rocker (which doesn't take long) these skates are excellent.

NOTE: ROCKER DEMOS AVAILABLE AT PUCKHANDLERS

 

NIKE Ignite Helmet

The NIKE range of products is officially excellent since they merged with BAUER. Next year we will see the anxiously awaited range of InLine Hockey skates but for now they are offering a superb product in the Ignite Helmet. It's style is similar to the Bauer HH3000 helmet. The differences in shock resistant  sorbothane liner which is supposed to add that extra bit of safety. A good idea for people who have received concussions before, or just want some extra protection for themselves or their Children.

 

Red Star Rebel Wheels

Redstar Wheels are one of the few InLine Wheel makers that have their own urethane pouring facilities. Most other brands are made by the same manufacturer so Redstar offer something a little different. The Rebel is my favourite wheel in the Redstar range. It kind of feels like a LABEDA Gripper in it's grip, but they've got a narrower profile which offers a quick edge to edge transferrance. This enables quicker lateral moves and better overall agility. They are pretty good on all surfaces but perform particularly well on tiled surfaces like Sports Court and Ice Court.
