Was that under 70mm, or under 70mm and under?

Here is a list of what I think are the best, grippiest wheels in your size range:

Abec 11:
70mm Grippins

Retro:
66mm ZigZags
70mm ZigZags

Pink:
66mm SickSicks
70mm Seven-O's

These represent a total of 3 different shapes, 9 different durometers, 6 different colors, and 2 different chemistries.

I want your business!

..I have 6 boards with abec 11 product on them Chris.

Gpymp..putting steak on Chris Chaputs table and 'thane under my feet.

I want your business!

You got it!

I have gumballs and no skoolz, flywheels are on the way, and

zig zags and strikers are in the near future.

You make some awesome wheels. And it's great that as the owner of the company and designer of the products, you actually go out and compete at the highest possible level on your own products...and win!

Keep up the great work. I'm really looking forward to the zig zags and what ever else you've got up your sleeve for 2006. I have an intuition about you......you are going to more sucessful than you ever dreamed.
Maybe not as early as you want. Maybe or maybe not in the skateboard industry. But at some point in your life you are going to make history in some way. As a longboard and slalom, wheel, deck, bearing and truck maker. I would have to say most assuredly. That's my bet, but "things"
work in mysterious ways sometimes.

My Christmas wish list is

70 mm zig zags very early in 2006

ceramic builtn bearings

liquid trucks

more decks with more specialized design, materials, technology and whatever else make your stuff so cool.

BTW you were awesome in LOD.

Happy hollidays, merry christmas and a happy and lucrative 2006.

always loved the grippins, completely under-rated by some. Got two sets and they're really well suited to my garage and cruising boards. But I like manx alot for deep slaler and hard carves, they have a really nice hard grip to them thats pretty groovy. Have never tried hotspots, I hear they have a similair bite to them. I could see the 74mm's being especially suitable to your desired use.

Hey man, why not ask him right here or start a new thread asking him?

The rest of us may have the same questions as you and why should Chris have to answer e mails from all of us when he can just post here for the benefit of the entire sf community?

I must be out of the loop... What are ZigZags and who makes them?

[gorillabiscuits]

They are Chaput's new wheels that are coming out!

[Mac]

ok that is part of the answer... What size, application ect? Slalom, Downhill, pool/park or just to look at and talk about riding and just stand next to the deepest gnar-est part of the park and hope some chick thinks your a "Rad" skater.... type of wheel

[gorillabiscuits]

"I'll be releasing two new wheels in brand new formulas that will be perfect for pumping. They are being released under the Retro brand name and are called "ZigZags". The are hard-edged wheels with offset hubs and come in 66mm and 70mm. They are being poured in 80a, 83a and 86a durometers in a new urethane specially formulated to provide higher rebound and roll-speed in the durometers from the low to mid eighties."

Very cool, Thanks. Just in time for my Roe eloRADo maybe......

My Roe Eldorado arrived just in time for the kids to put it under the tree.

Honestly at 42 this might be the best christmas I've ever had.

Something about skateboarding connects me cosmically to my youth and I'm transported back to the 1970's....and it's not a tv show on mtv....
so christmas is fun again when it involves skategear even when I picked it out, ordered and paid for it. Doesn't make it that much less fun.

If anyone want a Roe Unlimited I know where a brand new one can be had.

[ChrisChaput]

Maybe the scheduled release date will take you and Jason back to 1980.

It's Friday the 13th all over gain...

[crawdad62]

Hmm. Well the next Friday the 13th is in January.......hmmm.

Oh and Silver stop waving that Unlimited in my face!
