    This is Silverfish, take it with a grain of salt. It's fun to come back to at the end of the day, but nothing beats the real deal. Make your own judgments and form your own opinions. Remember whose lens you're looking through!

    The C7 truck takes some figuring out but once you get it set-up and understand how to maintain them, it's Gold!

    dedicated freeriding days ftw. having hills that are 1+ miles long and steeper than the steepest hills in your dreams helps, too. I dropped 8 mm off my flywheels that day...

    Yeah, I've found for some reason that drifting wears my wheels down a lot faster than just sliding

    Probably just skating clean smooth streets also. I know I fly through so much rocks, gravel, and whatever else here my graphics are gone fast. I wonder if you could clearcoat the side of wheels or something to help them stay on.

    its been longer than a week of riding on the kryptos mostly because i dont find that much time to ride on that board but that wheel ios so sheltered because i mostly throw heelside standy's and pendys so that wheel was really sheltered from debris. Idk the graphic never really scratched off on these ones. I flatspotted one before i could core them tho.... i guess il keep going anyways. Same happened to alpha lol?

    I find that the faster you thrash a wheel the better the graphic sticks.
