These wheels are my favorites so far, they are grippy and have a huge contact patch. the ride on these is also really smooth.

Amazing, if you want a good wheel for carving or DH or just all around cruising, these are great wheels. These wheels have forced me to become religiously dedicated to ABEC11 wheels. They are not good for sliding those of you who think they are, there are much better sliding wheels out there believe me... BUY YOURS OR PERISH!!!

Equipment Reviews

How long have you ridden them?: A month
What Setup are you running them on?: Landyachtz Spud, 30� Seismics, and of course, GUMBALLS!
Typical Discepline?: Downhill (ON MY SPUD!!!!)
How much did you pay for them?: $40
Where did you buy them?: VB skates
What are their weaknesses?: They drift out on corners sometimes when you go FAST, and I mean fast. It is hard to mount them on with a normal wrench because of the tiny hole going into where the bearings are.
What are their strengths?: Very grippy if controlled correctly, rolls over small babies, almost perfectly predictable, look really cool, and roll fast.
What similar equipment have you ridden?: Some crappy s9 wheels about the same size but smaller contact patch. They sucked.
Would you recommend them?: Yes
