Jake's Hockey

Well I got my skates but as I mentioned previously, they needed some work. On good authority, I took them to Jakes Pro Shop in El Segundo near LAX and right around the corner from the Toyota Center.

I had the blade freshened up, purchased new foot-beds, and had the boots heated for a custom fitting. I always have problems getting my skates to feel comfortable and after discovering that I could have the inside ball punched out, well, I had it done.

After a couple tries, we dialed them in. To complete the stop, I purchased a new set of Jake's branded blade protectors. I think its important to help people out and support small shops. I love a deal as much as the next guy but service is almost, if not more, important and that's what I get when I go to Jakes.

Can't wait to test these babies out.
