That Thruster does look wicked. It's stiff, correct? No flex?

That last photo is very intriguing...

I love the 76mm Superballs. Super sticky, super fast. So the 66's should be about the same.

What did you do to your Randals (semi-visible axle)? Or is that normal with the new ones?

Whichever wheels are underneath a rider who actually SKATES rather than just post on the internet will be fastest.

It does something strangely awesome to the ollie mechanism and makes it work absurdly well.

I rolled up to the EWS warehouse right when UPS did; so this is the first set to hit the streets. I've put in maybe 45 minutes of riding on them and don't ride slalom; so I don't want to make any judgments here.

It's flipped.
The axle is exposed where it's held in the right place when it's cast into the hanger.
