Join the cult!

As much as I love Kryptos, I'm getting tired of the feel. I hope the Urethane has a different feel (which I'm sure it will). I'm excited to see more of these.

See I don't like kryptos. The smaller core makes the ride feel jankity and unstable. Drifters on the other hand are quite nice for the riding. I like my deathrays, and I've been hopeful for a rounded lip cult thane.

Drifters are like $37ish

Powerballs are $40

Flashbacks are like $33

EW Freeriders are $40

RF's are $40

I hope (estimate?) they'll be in the $40's range hopefully? pweese haha

you guys have it good.

here in hawaii:

flashbacks- 40 bucks
big zigs- 60
zig zags- 56?
venom shockers- 60
powerballs/freerides- 52-54?

shockers are a waste of money anyway

That is exactly what I was going for. $40 for a 70mm slidey drifty wheel is a reasonable price. I'll have fun comparing these to drifters and kryptos.

Wasn't the new formula better? Or supposed to be better?

a_speck_of_dust · 11-06-2009, 09:19 PM

well ive been skating the old thane. they arent that fast, the slide is alright, and the drift is meh. dunno bout the new formulas, but if you even think about buying venoms consider cults or tangs first because i regret buying these shockers

I'm riding green gamma rays on my earthwing boomerang right now, and they're pretty dope. They make an AWESOME sound when they slide.

These wheels look sick... I really dig the colors.

The sidewinders are the best "freeride" wheel on the market right now IMO..

I'd agree with that statement. BUT! I am excited about cult classics.

death rays be the orange right? mine arent worn more than 4-5mms right now, but theyre silent.

Blix · 11-07-2009, 11:40 AM

Me wants, Cults have great urethane and will hopefully not wear into triangles.

a_speck_of_dust · 11-07-2009, 11:52 AM

i got my cults and thursday (gamma rays) and i was just instantly blown away with the grip and how ####### fast they are, which is why im stoked on these new ones coming out. i just really wished they were bigger

robert borek · 11-07-2009, 11:56 AM

i think they should be cheaper than the other cults because they use the kypto mould rather than a new one.

mine were silent for the first 10mm of wear. now the lips are pretty thin so they still grip great but the slides are loud and the predrifts are louder

Blix, I've got a set of blues coming in from the UK.

Check out Octane Sport Skateboards

the £ is cheap right now and Stridey gives really good service!

I already have a set of the orange and greens, great wheels. Ordered a set of GOG hangers from Michael, Octane is good.

Mr Ganker · 11-08-2009, 12:15 PM

Blue for the win.

And stride is yet to send me an order that isnt wrong in some way... got to love 'em.

rivers · 11-09-2009, 12:07 PM

Well, I dunno about that. I never did get what ever it was my sister ordered from his site for my birthday years ago. And she never got a refund.
