Not all skate shirts are black! Check out the Silverfish Gear Page . There are new men's, women's and kids' shirts! (Some are even black.) 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...) |

hard enough to slide and get some speed, but soft enough to handle the rough terrain you encounter in ditches and Old pools. and they travel well to, not very bone rattling on the sidewalksWhat similar equipment have you ridden?: S9 banditos 97a, Abec 11 noskoolz 96a and Gravity snaps 97a.Would you recommend them?:
Yes

Equipment Reviews How long have you ridden them?: Ive been riding my Gbones for about 6 monthsWhat Setup are you running them on?: Gravity 39"
Tracker Darts
Bones Reds
pair of 1/8" soft risersTypical Discepline?: parkinglots, skateparks, sliding, downhillHow much did you pay for them?: $35Where did you buy them?: Local Shop in the San Fernando ValleyWhat are their weaknesses?: I can't really say that these wheels have a weakness considering the fact that I skate really aggressive with them and they hold up to my abuse.What are their strengths?: They don't cone that much. Coning will occur depending on how much sliding you do and how often you rotate your wheels. For some reason, the g bones don't cone that easily and don't flat spot that easy as well. I recommend them, since they are 97a, which makes them pretty versatile skateboarding/longboarding wheels.What similar equipment have you ridden?: G- sliders and Super G'sWould you recommend them?:
Yes
