Otangs VS Avilas

I am probabley going to buy an Galac GTCPLDP and want to know what you would prefer,

80a Orangatang In Heats

OR

77a Seismic Avilas (black ops)

if you need insane grip go with avila, if you want to be able to break into slides go with Otang.

AVILAS!!!

avilas avilas avilas.

trust me, i LDP alot. avilas all the way. if you can get them lathed down or get the edges trimmed even better. but go with avilas all the way.

visit purple skunk ( skateshop) and check out the grapy apes. 72a avilas. ^_^ soooo soft!

Pink 70 o's or pink big zigs a close second.

that or go with tunnel tarantulas in 75a 70mm but they are so cushy and retain speed like a much much harder wheel.

check out the subsonic or the Galac to get an idea of the setups

how fast are the purple skunk 72a compared to other wheels

**rodgon** · 07-20-2009 08:59 PM

they are soft and maintian speed quite ok for LDP speeds you wont even notice. but they are the softest ride i have ever had i would highly recommend them.

and a certain pumping guru ( paved wave) i thikn would agree.

The red Avilas are just as good and plush right, cause they look better =)

I think they're SUPER slow though no?
I think zigs ang Bigzigs are much faster then avilas

**rodgon** · 07-21-2009 08:43 PM

they are good for LDP. that beeter for you? lol

**Cruzer** · 07-21-2009 08:47 PM

i have the white 75a black ops avillas, absolutely adore them, very fast and smooth, great grip on my pumper so i dont lose much when slamming the rear.

i like them a lot, the otangs are nice too, the rebound is good, but for practicality i like the avillas, sometimes i like yellow big zigs in front, but usualy i stick with the avillas on all corners.

Don't overlook Speed Vents, still one of my favorite LDP wheels,
the roll speeed is incredibly fast with plenty of grip.
And Potangs are very well suited for LDP as well..
It's good to have something that rolls fast with less resistance.
