I'm not sure what you're implying? I chose a less invasive medical treatment that has worked well for me for 10+ years..but yeah I must be stupid. I have a custom fitted brace for high contact stuff but its annoying and doesn't have a ton of mobility, as such I don't participate in a lot of contact sports anymore. A simple neoprene brace works well for bball though, I do use my brace for skiing, thats about it.
Fuck you, no.
Saw it, yeah. It's much more technical, much less physical than hockey. (soft europeans yadayada). Ton of fun. It's what Scandinavian hockey players play when there's no ice. (at least a lot of them)

but why let yourself go through that twice a year? You don't really feel much during surgery
Wait that's my name

Re:nikes, its really hard to find the good ones. You usually have to know exactly what you want and find them online. This is partially why I suggested basketball shoes, they are really easy to find in a ton of colorways.
upon further review, I want to play this floorball stuff
How many are there?

Yeah, this is the conclusion I've reached.
No Marvie to complete it, though.

I probably will in about a decade, at least before I'm 40 I'd think. Its not like my knee pops out mid stroke when I'm golfing or anything, or skateboarding for that matter. Its just random. The potential downtime is enough to make me not want surgery. And bullshit if I'm not gonna feel 3 fucking pins drilled through my bones for months if not years after the fact.

Those are the pumas I was talking about. Theyre called el ray's. They come in plaid, canvas, a weird poly fiber rubber, all sorts of shit. But there are a TON of colors/styles and theyre fairly cheap. I think 40-65 depending on materials.
There's a floorball "team" near me, and it has the densest concentration of Swedes/Swiss people I've ever seen in Vancouver. It's surreal. There's more Swiss and Swedes on that one team than I've met in the rest of Vancouver TOGETHER. Comes with the sport I suppose. I swear it's mostly those 2 countries, and other scandinavian countries that play it.

Puma seems to get glossed over for anything but running and soccer. My runners are pumas, granted they have a really slender arch so they aren't for everyone, but they make some damn nice shoes besides the more functional ones.
Golf pretty much replaced ice hockey for me, for those of you who dont golf, if you thought ice hockey was expensive...jesus, ive spent so much on golf shit.

Gloves are for pussies.
There's not too much contact allowed, it's kinda like basketball. You can check and push a bit, but you can't run someone over. It'll give you mad hand-eye coordination though.

I would too if I let some weird homoerotic fantasy spill out into my posts without any warning.

CCF has replaced you adequately, he already told me to shut my fucking whore mouth. I feel like you're there.
