    Default Loaded Durian 86a freeride wheel **REVIEW**

    threw em on earlier today, and boy these wheels are butter. they feel almost exactly like the lower duro purp ones; only a slightly harder feel. They also feel really nice for cruising and just carving, hold lines well, but break free the minute you want them too. Not too hard at all, an awesome duro choice. Color and pour of the thane is perfect.

    If your looking for a FAST, smooth sliding, durable wheel then these are for you.

    I'm so stoked for these to come. I just dialed in heel-side stand-ups, speed checks and 180's and out. Waiting on my Durians to start messing around with toe-side stuff. I don't think I've been this excited for wheels or any component to date.

    I don't know if your guys's roads are as sh!tty as winter/salt/then-summer roads here in Michigan but how do they hold up on sidewalk and stuff? I'm afraid they'll be too hard for any of the terrain I skate, but they sure look nice.

    they ride like a softer wheel, you only feel the difference when you throw them sideways.
    they are awesome, i have shreded mine as hard as i can and the wear is only minimal coning,
    they are great for absolutely everything, they hold a nice line in corners, but drift like butter.

    I like my purps, but next year I'm thinkin I'm gonna get me some of these. They look they have exactly the difference I want, more slide.

    These wheels are great... unless you wanna take a turn at huge speeds, but thats what predrifting and their slide characteristics are for.

    I'm curious to see if these really do ride softer. If they do, my bank account is about to take a hit.

    They REALLY REALLY ride unlike any 86 a wheel I've ever ridden... Honestly they ride smoother than my Purple 4 Pres... I know it has to do with alittle bit of the size of the wheel but its on the soft side of 86 for sure

    I ride 86a bigzigs all the time and really dont find them to be a harsh ride unless its awful pavement. Durians arrived when I was in class today, if it hadnt snowed earlier Id be all over them, so hopefully it will be dry tomorrow.
