now im going to be using these for speedboarding and was wondering what will be the better wheel choice, the fly's or the big zigs, not that i am now a dedicated speedboarder i also like to dance do a little sliding and also i will be cruising alot to and from work but mainly i wanna know which will be better to do all that on.

I wasn't impressed with the Flys I had they felt harder than they were and were too drifty for my taste/skill at the time. Big Zigs on the other hand have felt great in all the Duro's that I have tried though I was dumb and didn't buy any when I could so I ended up on Avila's (not a bad wheel either) because BZ's were sold out when I NEEDED wheels. I'd go with BZ's

ye i really want to get the big zigs but i think they will be a little small on a drop through subsonic barrage...will they?

I've got Avila's (75mm) on my drop through and it's got roughly the same specs as a Hellcat except for a 5* wedge in the nose

so your saying 75mm isnt too small?

No it's not to small it's perfect actually. My drop through has Angel R7's (Force clones) and until I picked up my Avila's I was rolling on 70mm Pink Zigs (see avatar pic) with no height issues (same wheel that K-Rimes raced all but the finals at Teutonia on), I did have problems with the softness of the Pinks but thats because I weigh 205lbs. IMHO Big Zigs are the perfect wheel for drop through's...No need for a wheel bigger than 78mm
