    They ******* suck, you just wasted your money. How's that for getting stoked?

    Do you really need people to beauty them up for you online so that you'll really enjoy them? When you get them... put bearings in them, put them on some trucks, make sure the trucks are on a deck... and RIDE THEM! You'll really get excited then

    Faster and grippier than Avalons. A little slower than Avilas (due to the size difference), but grippier.

    OK dude. You won THE ******* WHEELS. THE WHEELS ARE YOUR'S. Go test them out and ******* try them. Honestly, why do you want me to sugar coat it so you cream you're pants? Why do you care so much what other people think of the gear that you are getting. Different people have different opinions. But just so you feel good about yourself (because everyone likes to feel good) Hotspots are the awesomest wheels ever dude!

    ...I like Hot Spots alot. I think MH Mark calls me his middle of the road guy for testing the product. I think I give him a fairly honest opinion on what I try out. Example: tonight I tested Crail's with tracker/Black hour glass bushes. Very turny and stable. Back to the Spots, I could not get the Spots to skitch in the garage. Translation, STICKY. I tested the 80a White. And yes they are fast too.

    ..I would say yes to both. Keep in mind that I was on Biltin's (if I remember correctly..its been a few weeks since I last rode them) Its all about the combination of wheel and bearings. I prefer Biltin's. Ease of use and fairly decent speed. I ride mostly larger wheels right now and the Biltin's handle the weight/enertia of a larger wheel better than the other bearings.

    Some people in here need to toke up and relax. It's just a guy getting stoked about some wheels, and wanting to know what to look for.
    Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.

    This is exactly what people have been saying about these wheels. Do a search on "hot*spot*" and you'll find lots of info about how well these wheels grip (and hold their speed).
