Abec11,

your pictures still intrigue me with a certain mysticism. i don't now where to divide the old and past from the still to come. Retro thane in a flashback mold? and who wouldn't like to see a little green 66mm zig to roll on their mini? what does the Chaput Warehouse look like. what is on the dashboard of his Green Van? a little bobble head, except the head is a little green wheel?

haha...yeah, its just cuz the post # of post were updated to 2025 by the time i checked and he said 997 to go...so i added it and was like "why does he want 3032 posts?...im prbly missing something" so i asked you guys but then i just realized that the # of posts got updated, my bad

it can be confusing when you sometimes hit those little pockets in the space time continuum... I usually gets these flashbacks and ends up in Goa

yea...what he said! and btw the inside corner of one of my flashbacks basically peeled off and made the contact patch on about 1/2 of the wheel 2mm smaller...like wtf?!?!

idk how it happened...i was carving down this "sloped road" and when i picked up the board i noticed the wheel was missing like the side of it, i didnt hit ANYTHING and i wasn't sliding (i cant anyway with these wheels) thats why i was so aggravated. And because of it, it shakes like a mother####er when i get above 8mph. ill have a pic in a lil...let me know what you guys think

**XxTQxX** · 07-12-2009 03:23 PM

Let me Know what you think/if ABEC11 will care if i send these to them

**flannelman** · 07-12-2009 05:18 PM

it doesn't even look like you have ridden the wheels. lol, way to clean!

thats not normal chunking. i would call them up, or email them. chunking doesn't happen in that long of lengths. thats a torn wheel. it may have been that while you where carving down the hill, in turn, you ripped of the inside lip. that seems like a manufacturing defect.

yea...ill definitely do that. Hopefully a ABEC11 guy sees this. And you're right, i havent ridden them that much, thats why i was kinda confused

[/QUOTE/]

finally someone sliding gumballs, im not the only one. they are truly an amazing slide once they are broken in and i mean broken in. it took me like a year of light cruising and drifting to break them in fully. but i also wasnt trying to so it took forever,.
But anyway they slide so smooth. i ride 75a so it just seems like the urethane slides off the wheels while i slide. I prefer them even over otang freerides for smoothness and they dont chunk either.

**XxTQxX** · 07-12-2009 07:03 PM

hey, mcpenguin, what do you think about my flashbacks' problem?

**mcpenguin** · 07-12-2009 07:45 PM

I think that they should send you a new set cuz its costs like nothing to make a set of wheels and they way way way overprice them anyway. so i think they could find it in their heart to send you at least one freakin wheel.
btw on one of my balls, gumballs that is it chunked, its that wide but only like 2cm long not that long and i hit gravel in a turn going fast so it should have chunked.

**XxTQxX** · 07-12-2009 08:06 PM

yeah, i sent them a e-mail..hopefully they do something about it.

Well that's exactly why your wheels look like that. you gotta break those softies in first

such a true statement but that wheel shouldn't of torn like that if they dont send you at least one new wheel thats kinda redic.

**rosewood thief** · 07-12-2009 09:00 PM

wait...reflex grippins? i gotta check this thread more often, quite possibly the perfect free ride wheel?

**speshlspeclsteak** · 07-12-2009 09:08 PM

why is everybody so ###### fixated on freeride wheels? every wheel is a freeride wheel if you actually skate it. seriously you want a freeride wheel go take any ###### set of wheels you can think of and go ride em to hell. whats the point of paying like 50 bucks for a wheel that your buying to destroy through drifting? ive got a box of "freeride" wheels in my basement. theyre called old wheels that i dont care about. who wants to buy them for 50 bucks a set? exactly noone but somehow when loaded or abec or whoever else decide to do that people line up to throw their money away when all they really need to do is find some old wheels and throw a radius on em at the very most.

free ride wheel=wheel ready to slide out of the box, small contact patch, round lip, duro 80-86a

not free ride wheel=wheel that needs to be broken in and destroyed before being slid, making you spend less time with said wheel, and having to do work before being able to use it for sliding

noone=not a word

your post=over reaction
