    Exclamation Wheels for custom 36" Speedboard

    My brother and I are making a 36" speedboard, and we want wheels no bigger than 76mm that will have reeally good grip, but can slide a little.
    BTW, they should be durable cuz we don't have alot of $$

    no he shouldn't he want long lasting cheaper great grip smooth slides. O tangs loose their grip fast, more expensive, and wear out fast.

    go with bigzigs or zigzags

    I'm just trying to offer more options here. Some people do prefer orangatangs over big zigs or zig zags (mostly because of the mega hype, but o-tangs are still good in my opinion)
