Figured you guys would appreciate this, some pretty cool photos of what I got to see

 

So this is my 3rd year going to this Bauer Demo event but this one was pretty cool. I live about 90mins from Bauer's World Headquaters and work for a Major retailer so I get to attend these events but to make it better they are at the epicenter of everything that comes from Bauer

 

They had built these stalls for a photoshoot/event and now placed them in the Headquaters with about 90% of the acutall prostock gear these stars wear. Some items go in and out for photoshoots but most of the stuff was accurate and pretty cool. Obviously nothing is really new or secret with the stuff so I dont mind posting the photos

The agenda of this event at Bauer was mainly the New Bauer helmet line, a refresh on the new Vapor skates, the Nxg protective line, and lastly the APX2 stick

 

This was followed by about 2 hours on the ice demoing it all, including the APX2 stick for most the time. I can really go hugely into details or post a ton of pics but if you have any questions on it let me know. I was pretty impressed with the new line coming out and the performance was great to actually get on the ice and let a few shots rip.

What I was tempted to grap was Ovi's skate, Kaner's Gloves, and Lundy's mask lol

 

Not any of it worth my Job though lol

Ovie's skates are awesome! Love the little touches like that


NHL teams could care less that you want a pair of brand new Warrior Luxe/Franchise custom thumb loop super custom digi toilet paper soft palm with double added reinforced custom Warrior logo backhand padding gloves or a 17 flex double kreps curve upside down toe hook stick from your fav player/team. -Bakes

Thats pretty cool. I live like 20 mins from there and drive by it on the way to work everyday. I always wondered what goes on there. It's a big facility, but i was under the assumption it was just a sea of cubicles inside.

Looking for new CCM HPTK pants - Black - Size XL

Nah the rink is about 10 mins down the road

 

All three product lines, skates, gloves, helmets in all sizes filled in the locker room, you are encouraged to switch out, try them all, pretty cool

 

Most major manufacturers do this...I have been to Easton's event 2x and Reebok once as well

Yesterday when I first looked at the thread on my computer, they were fine. Today, they're upside down on my phone. Weird.

It must be a setting within the iOS platform. Works fine from an Android.


Sometimes I tuck my junk between my legs and pretend to be a woman if that's what you meant?

The weirder thing for me is that they are all upside down except for the second picture of Ovis skates and the last picture of the apx2 sticks
