Earthwing Boomerang! Now what is the name of those wheels?

Oh I know the make/model, I was inquiring as to the board's name.
Blaine, does it have a name?

Earthwing Boomerang
Paris 195 trucks and stock bushings (which are quite nice)
1/8th Paris riser
MHS bearings
Purple Skunk Smokes 62mm 78a
Krylon X-Metals purple paint used on the deck and trucks
some dremeling
some acetone to remove the bottom paint
Deck painted then I cut a stencil of the EW logo and sprayed it on in Krylon metallic silver.
Another coat of the X-Metals over the entire deck.
A couple coats of Rustoleum Crystal Clear enamel

HA! Yeah, what he said.

[DRC]

These trucks are huge! Super beefy, and super wide.

They make R2 hangers look tiny.

Those of you that have gotten these and ridden on them some, what do you think of them?

I really like mine. They took some getting used to because I have never ridden such a wide hanger. The stock bushings are really nice and feel great. The quality on the casting and just overall quality seems to be very good.

I would also like to say that these fit nicer on a nemesis compared to 176mm randals.

The hanger width is nice and the trucks are beefy and well made, but for me there is no getting past the lack of bushing seat that results in sideways slop.

On to Sabre Randals.

I really like the paris bushing seat. They are nicer than randal or bears IMO. I have no problems with side to side slop whatsoever. Sabre do look to have a nice bushing seat though.

I dont have any problem with the back bushing seat but imho the front bushing seat is pretty rediculous. I get sideways slop with even fat reflex barrels.

I got mine today, and I'm really impressed.

Casting is super clean, hanger facing is really good.

Bushing seats seems a tad better and snugger than before as well, at least on the set I recieved.

The 90a Divine barrels also feels great, I think I'm going to ride this truck dead stock!
They have the familiar smooth Paris feel turning, 180 powerslides was almost as easy as on the 180's, didn't need much time adjusting to them really. Fun right out the box.

wow those really do look good

quite a bit beefier

Yeah, my old ones looks really thin compared to these new ones for sure.

[Terrorsathan]

I kinda regret selling the base plates that came with these 195 hangers... now I really dig them on 42 plates, but I shoulda kept the stock plates for a rainy day!

You could always add sphericals. It's what I did to mine, but I think the Paris seats work pretty well. I noticed a little play in mine, but it came from the pivot being a little loose in the stock plate. With R2 plates they fit more snug (I've got mine in 42s ATM)
If you want gnar bushing seats, Holeys or Crails.
You probably want the wider hangers though, eh?

Here are mine set up on my new MM.

Hangars are definitely beefier, great stock bushings, super turny, very pretty, and no wheelbite on this setup w/ 1/8" risers & 70mm wheels. Yum!
