BTW, It doesn't take a month for a wheel to cure. I race on wheels that are poured within a week.

Centrax molds are being made as we speak. It CAN take up to 30 days to get a pour date from the time the molds are done, but I have ways of slipping new and exciting wheels to the front of the line when needed.

And speaking of new and exciting wheels, I'm loving the skid marks left behind when sliding our new limited edition Classic Freerides and Classic BigZigs. Anyone who has ever ridden the cool little Amber colored 60mm BertZ in our 81a Classic Formula knows how great they drift and how nice the tracks are that are left on the asphalt. For people who want more drift in their Freerides without wanting to ride Pink wheels, the Classic Formula urethane in translucent Red 78a, Amber 81a, and Green 84a is the answer.

Shown in the picture below are BertZ, Classic Freerides, and Classic BigZigs in Amber 81a.



The Retro lineup uses our Classic Formula in the following already:
We have 66mm and 70mm ZigZags - 78a Translucent Red
We have 60mm BertZ - 81a Amber

We want to introduce 84a Green into the lineup and have Classic Color Coding different than Reflex, but consistent with what we've done in the past. Is anyone really surprised that I'm choosing to add green here?

5 New Limited Edition Additions as of 09/09/09:

72mm Classic Formula Freeride 78a - Red
72mm Classic Formula Freeride 81a - Amber
72mm Classic Formula Freeride 84a - Green
75mm Classic Formula BigZig 78a - Red
75mm Classic Formula BigZig 81a - Amber

Are you catching my drift?

So classic 'thane is the Abec11 green urethane right?

EDIT: I wonder if the classic green will be like the Alligator green.

Yep, same urethane as all of the classic Abec 11 wheels, flywheels, no-schools, gumballs etc.

"Classic Freerides" = more color & duro options for Powerballs

But calling them Powerballs wouldn't sell as well.

Also, making "limited edition" skateboard wheels is a bit like making limited edition toilet paper.

Those bigzigs look sick!

[dunnersboarder]

mmmm classic bigzigs would be awsome, ive never liked the reflex thane. even with lime bigz ive never been able to make them slide brilliantly

puttin it in my sig, just seems great to take that out of context.

[thatoneblahguy]

i thought that the classic 'thane was a different formula than the current abec11 'thane

[charger_doc]

Now THESE are the FreeRides i would buy!

[TM4RT]

ok, possible dumb question, but, do classic urethane wheels have cores?

because the bearing seats are the same color as the urethane.

They actually look coreless to me in that pic, but i can't believe they are SO classic...
