I love my Amber Freerides. Fast urethane, drift really smooth and slide far as hell. Very nice wheels.

Venom Sidewinders

oh i didnt even think of those
arent they like $35 too?
those might be it once dano gets them in...

180 Crails. Bright Red, they came from thelongboardstore.com and I'm stoked!

Not to hijack the thread but...
I'm a little skeptical of the stock "Moog" bushings. Does anyone have any comments about them? What other bushings have worked well in your crails.

Get some Sabre barrels and call it a day. Moogs are very hard.

yes, ive herd that they are horrible and are "dead". most people say get a longer kingpin and replace those bushings!. ya double barrels dont work on the stock kp i think. im not 100% on that but get a longber kp and new bushings for you.8)

40-45 depending on the shop. MHS has them on pre-sale for 40 with bearings, I believe. I just got mine today and so far I love them, not the fastest yet, but slide really smooth considering they aren't fully broken in. I put about an hour of riding on them and a bit of sliding and they are nice. Really grippy at first from the mold release, but a slide or two gets that off that they break out with a little force, and it just gets easier every time after that

My crails are insane! I have 3inch pins, must have. Um, the moogs are medium hardness and have a crap load of rebound, its surprising.

SUCH a sick deck. It was actually my most recent skate purchase as well. I'm redrilling it so I can have a new dh board with some concave though.

78a or 81a Flashbacks or 81a Grippins. Both are usually below $40 and work great for all the same purposes as Stimulus or Freerides.

OMFG 81A GRIPPINS ARE THE BEST!!!

Drift smooth, good size, flippable, nice shape and grip well too.

Moogs are 90a, not to bad, and they have a crap load of rebound and stability!

Hell Yeah! I'm so stoked to get it! I'll have to work hard this month to have enough money to get 'em!

I'll be buying the complete from the pic, with Indys 169 and Rat Bones 85a.. Gonna rock some ditches with that and learn something about Street skating to teach posers a lesson!

When I got my Crails like 12-14 months ago, the Moog bushings were horrrrrrible. Totally lifeless with no rebound and way too hard. I replaced them soon after with JimZ whites, was riding on an Evo. Sometime later Moog released a new version of the bushing and is supposedly a lot better.

Hahah I just realized I have all that stuff sitting in my house, but not on any board. I've got the Powell on my floor, Indies on the piano, and Rat Bones (mine are 90a) on a shelf....

Huh. We don't have any ditches here, but we've got some banks.....
