Orange BigZigs now available!

[ChrisChaput]

Notice anything new? Wax, Mig? We finally got the BigZigs in our firmer flavor Orange. Heavier and/or more powerful skaters can lay into these suckers without deforming them as much as the softer ones. They still have a tremendous amount of traction for a wheel this firm, thanks to the extra contact patch and flexible lips. Guess who the first two skaters are to try them out?

How come you only use these bright colors?

My dog ate my homework...

[bboomgaard]

It's all about advertising. (eh retro comes into play too? hippies)

[JibeCity223]

now can i have an orange fishball shaped super-momo with a cherry on top?

[ChrisChaput]

How come you only use these bright colors?

Because they are fast, and racers don't shy away from being noticed. Ever see the colors going on in Motocross? Besides black is slow and absorbs too much sun and heat, white is Turner/3dm/Seismic/Sector and every street wheel on the planet, blue is Krypto/Seismic/Sector, and red looks dead in pictures.


The other issue is that we can identify bushing duros without any print:

what website has them for sale?

[Mig]

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

[ChrisChaput]

what website has them for sale?

Good question. I thought that we (Sk8Trip.com) did, but they're not up yet. Mile High Skates has ordered some, and I'd be willing to drop-ship some from Huntington Beach until he gets his stock. Here's a HUE adjusted picture of the Lemon that can be used for the Orange until we get some decent pictures...

good old command/control+U

Good to see more wheels Chris
How many is that now, 120 or something?

[jaxxstatic]

I have a feeling these are going to go real quick.
BigZ in all the other duros go super quick as it is...

Let's see. Since each axle end can hold 1 or 2 wheels, a skateboard with 2 trucks could have 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 wheels, and a skateboard with 3 trucks could have 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, or 12 wheels. In streetluge we sometimes have a third truck in the very front and optionally put wheels on it, so 3 trucks and 4 wheels happens.
