 We're using "spreadshirt", so you order straight from them.  Dig through the listings and you'll find some classic 'Fish designs, including shirts with art taken from member Ryan's art-pen drawings.  Check back for new designs, as we prepare to release the Fall Line (soon as Armani signs off...)

Not really ideal for anything. For downhill and carving, Gravity Street G wheels are a noticeable liability. Cruising is out for the same reason as DH or carving- they are slow wheels that suck the speed out of your board. As far as sliding, any Abec11 made for that purpose absolutely wastes these wheels.

Ya know, you try to be different and NOT buy Abec11 wheels like everyone else, and where does it get you? Not worth it.
Equipment Reviews
How long have you ridden them?: Half a year.
What Setup are you running them on?: First on a Landyachtz Drop Hammer with Gullwing Chargers, then a S9 42" Cosmic with Randal 180s, fitted with Bones Reds.
Typical Discepline?: Cruising, carving, attempting slides
How much did you pay for them?: 35-39 bucks, I believe
Where did you buy them?: local skate shop
What are their weaknesses?: (this refers to the 84a red Street G)

s-l-o-w. Compared to every other wheel ridden on the boards above, these wheels make you feel like you're riding on a wrestling mat. (small exaggeration, but still.) Plus, Despite being 84a, they are difficult to impossible to slide- my friend's worn-in s9 wheels slid better. Considering that's what I ignorantly bought them for, that's quite a weakness.

What are their strengths?: Well, they stick to the ground alright, and they look fairly cool. All red and racy and such.
What similar equipment have you ridden?: Abec 11 Striker, Hawgs 76mm, Gravity Fu Manchu, Abec11 70's flashback.
Would you recommend them?: No
Was this review helpful to you? yes     no

Ive ridden the 90a version of these wheels on the street and in a park and they have nothing on my 92a NoSkoolz. They dont slide very nice and are pretty slow. I didn't like them at all.
