seems like flashies are that durable, my friends have also gone to sh!t. and ive read numerous threads about chuncked flashbacks.
try 70mm retro zigs.

[a_speck_of_dust] 11:41 pm: so any ideas how to get this thing down?
[a_speck_of_dust] 11:39 pm: it hurts
[a_speck_of_dust] 11:44 pm: if its still here in the morning im gonna #$%^&* ng call the doctor
hey kevzik! if you dont want wheelbite issues with the larger wheels you are gonna have to trimmm that M1. i have an M1 and a scimitar. i have 75mm x 65mm wide 3dm avilas on my scim and it never bites, but my M1 with the gumballs bites whenever i turn sharp.
if you like to turn a lot, the stock M1 will have to have side sets. just decide how you want to ride, and then do what makes the most sense to ya. trim, wheels, or scim? now lets go ride
Thanks man...pretty much narrows it down then.
On a side note, my flashbacks are chunking and ive noticed the same thing on another students board.
All wheels chunk. Aside from that, the shape of the Flashbacks makes them more prone. If you want a wheel that chunks less, get something with a more rounded lip, i.e. Powerball, Striker, S9 Race wheel etc...
Wheels like gators and Zigs have square lips and will chunk as well, but honestly it's ok so long as it doesn't go into the contact patch.
Come on...in our scene, trucks live for a long time, boards do too, Bearings when maintained are long lived as well. The wheels are they only thing that has to be replaced from time to time. I love my Big Zigs in lime and Pink, and am looking into the new Seismics...have seen folks run the new Tunnel Turantulas on a couple boards and those are nice too.
But my next wheels will most likely be Siesmics just out of curiosity...I have skated many many miles on my Big Zigs, and when they are replaced, I know I will gotten my money out of them.
