they're a lot of fun to cruise on and mess around on, but i dont think i like them as a downhill wheel. i know a lot of guys use them but i think i prefer something with more grip. maybe a bigzig, or gumball. theyre good all around wheels but i dont like that they are so drifty for downhilling. playing around with my buds, i couldnt ask for a more fun wheel but i dont like them for downhill.

What are their weaknesses?: super drifty, cant hold a tight turn
What are their strengths?: predictable. to the point that their being so drifty isnt really a concern anymore. but until you reach the point that you recognize their behavior, i'd say they are actually dangerous. of course i got them already broken in...

I have the 83mm, 75a. They're an excellent wheel if you can afford them and wont dissapoint even if you can't. If you like DH give these a try.

Equipment Reviews

How long have you ridden them?: 3 months
What Setup are you running them on?: Evo with 8mm bears
Typical Discepline?: DH, some slide
How much did you pay for them?: $60
Where did you buy them?: milehighskates.com
What are their weaknesses?: They are kind of big so cruising around takes a few pushes. Dont really like to slide them.(and i have an ew drifter to take care of slding). Biggest weakness is price. Thats the main reason i dont slide. At $60 a set I take it easy on them.
What are their strengths?: Awesome DH. They are very fast and really durable since i dont slide them, but they did get a chip in them after a 2 months but thats what you should expect from riding around campus.
What similar equipment have you ridden?: 3dm, sec9 race
Would you recommend them?: Yes
