InHeats vs BigZigs vs Hawgs

**italianmobsta74** · 03-10-2010 02:08 AM

I own a set of 80a InHeats and a set of 80a BigZigs and right now I can't decide between them to which I should throw on my demonseed. Right now I just cruise and do some DH carving and to what I can see is that the InHeats hold speed better but the BigZigs are a smoother ride, not really sure if that is true since I haven't tested them hard yet. Also I am buying a chinook that comes with a set of Landy Monster 82a wheels.
Just looking for some advice on which of these 3 wheels I should keep, sell, put on my demonseed or chinook, past experiences with the wheels, what areas each wheel are better than each other at, whatever info you have about these wheels and where I should use them let me know, thanks.

Keep the InHeats on the Demonseed. Put the BigZigs on the Chinook. Sell the Monster Hawgs.

Or just experiment and see what you like

havnt really ridden them much but speaking to guys who rock them they seem to love them for racing they are center set so you can always run a nice semi fresh lip and when they start to cone you can flip them and hey presto they will feel like new again

Put the new white monster hawgs 80a on it. Great wheels and drift awesome.

**backbone** · 03-10-2010 04:05 PM

donno, I have sideset 76mm,78A blue monster hawgs. They`re slow, horrible drift, they grip like full on and then all of the suden just let go and I get highsided. True that I`m a beginner, but it all of the above does not happen when I ride my friends otangs.

I've got 76mm 82a on my Chinook and i mostly freeride and cruise. They offer great grip but they aren't that fast, and after breakin em in I found that for me they offer a good balance between grip and slip, but i would love om if they were more on the slidy side. I think it's because of the size if they were 70mm i think they'd slide better.

**keziahlongboards** · 03-11-2010 12:28 AM

Just keep them all. Use the hawgs just for sliding and the others for other normal sessions, where there is downhill and sliding. Hawgs have terrible roll speed but slide rad

**THEjackel4545** · 03-11-2010 12:35 AM

lol thats what i was thinking, just keep them all.

**italianmobsta74** · 03-11-2010 12:38 AM

I was just thinking now of selling the hawgs and putting the bigzigs on my demonseed and the otangs on my chinook

It really depends what you're doing with what.

What is the Demonseed mainly used for? The Chinook?

**italianmobsta74** · 03-11-2010 02:45 AM

the demonseed is used for DH and has been used to commute a little. The chinook is mainly used to carve and screw around sliding through town.

**jheidenfeld** · 03-11-2010 09:29 AM

Big Zigs on the Demonseed. InHeats on the Chinook. Sounds like fun. The O-tangs have a far better slide than that Reflex 'thane BS.

I have Zigs and have run through 2 sets of Monster Hawgs in 80a. One was full sized and the other were the 70mm Minis. They were some of the most fun wheels I have used. They were really fast, gripped really well and once broken in the slide and drift were very predictable. I have Yellow Zigs now. They are excellent for carving and are decently fast. I
I'm mostly using Zombies right now in 80a however. Such a fun wheel for an all around. I'm saving my Zigs for a rainy day now.
