Orange Zigs

[The Green Hornet]

Hey everyone, i'm considering a set of orange zig zags/bigzigs but I havent seen or heard much about them. i've tried limes and pink and I love the drift whenever I can catch one and thought that the orange might be something I wanted to check out. How do they run for you?
i'm considering putting them on an avenger when I get one for the new longboarding season this spring.

They don't make Orange BigZigs.. But they do make Orange ZigZags.. There very drifty, and hard... But the odd thing is by nature the wheels design isn't supposed to be a "driffty" wheel.. In my opinon if you want a a pair of wheels that drift better and smoother that a Lime -Zag than I would go with flys... Like 78a durometers... I run 75a-83mm flys on my drift board and its super smooth in the striaghts and the turns... But just becareful, I hear they can come appart if you slide them toooooo much, however mine have been slide to peice's and the still look ok...

im a big fan of hard wheels in a grippy shape. 86a isnt that hard, theyre still surprisingly grippy and amazingly fast. im not sure how they would feel on a speedboard though cause i was riding them on a 36 inch board so i would have had more traction over the back foot. mabey i duno... kibbling has been riding 66mm oranges on his demonseen for a while and seems to like them.

if orange bigzigs did exist outside my imagination i think theyd be sick onthe dervish

Orange Bigs will be here soon enough.

Do you think 92a Zigzags will come out at the same time?

[Colton]

First it was big wheels, them small wheels, now hard wheels?

Nah. Chaput's been posting for a while about 86a BigZigs and how he's definitely doing a run. The only thing I've heard about the 92a wheels is that he's only done a handful for certain riders. Most people are scared of 83a wheels, I don't think 92a would sell at all.

I agree to a certain extent.. That Orange Zigs would be a great wheel cause they would be the most grippy hard wheel you can find... So that would give you killer speed in the striaghts and they wouldn't loose as much speed in turns.. However "I beleave" that this would be ideal on a smooth-ish pavement surfaces.. But on a rougher poor quality pavement surface a wheel of this sort does work (in my experance) that good. The hills in my area are not of the greatest pavement quality and there for why I recomended Limes or Lemons, assuming its better to be a little too grippy than not grippy enough.. That's also why I mentioned the whole Flywheel idea... I guess I assume most of the roads we get to speedboard down aren't of the best ideal pavement quality... Anyways.... Btw: I like the way soft wheels feel anyway even on the straights, smooth as ice...

My Orange Zigzags kickass on my Bomb Hills. They drift so nicely when needed.

Throw them on a EVO... And you wont stop sliding... Top mounts always get really good traction..

CC told me 3 weeks when I talked to him about it at the Buckeye this summer. So they're 2 months late... I'm sad I didn't have them at all the GS races I did this summer.

I'm sooooo all over them as soon as they become available...

I bought my lemons earlier this year and I was 'afraid' of them for the first bit as we got acquainted! When I bought them I had intentions of later getting limes for the back but now after having many many miles of pumping on them I have confidence in the grip in the rear and would definitely go for some 75mm Oranges up front!

[V.B]

does anybody have any idea around when the orange bigzigs will be coming out? I really want a set.

Yeah, I remember one of the first posts he made about the Orange Bigs was about how big guys, especially you, can really put them to good use. The lips on the BigZigs flex and deform sooo much, even in 86a they're going to be ridiculously good.

[mark grimace]

I heard they are being poured this month.

[GPymp]

End of this month, first of November. (rough guess) word was 2-3 weeks from last week.

[Tex202]

how cool would it be to ride on halloween with pumpkin colored wheels?

[dustm]

I'm having a major crisis here

limes when they are available again

or oranges?!

either would go with my lemons split-duro

maybe 2 of each?
