    What's your favorite thane?

    It's been a while, don't get all jumpy on me now with the search button and ####. Trends change you know, what everyone was riding last year may not be what everyone's riding now.

    80a inheats for me.

    Bigzigs hands down. They wear extremely well, and grip just as well as Otangs imo.

    agreed, i love my bigzig lemons.. great wheel.
    I skate because there's no Facespace, no Mybook, no Twatter, no eMail, no television, no commercials, no celebrities, no zillion dollar sports teams. No bulls--t whatsoever... It's just me, the pavement, one deck, two trucks, four bushings, four wheels, eight bearings, and some mounting hardware. My very own little race car, my own flight simulator, and it feels f--king great.

    I am really liking my 80a otangs. I love lime bigzigs, but am enjoying the smoother drift from the otangs. I would still say lime zigzag/bigzig is my favorite wheel.

    Personal responsibility for one's choices is dead and buried, even in something as simple as a plank with four wheels.

    83a 4prez. I wanna try out the 80a ones now just to see if the difference in drift is worth the difference in drift.

    It was 83a inheats, until my core blew out when sliding. now it back to the lime bigs, favorite wheel for everything.

    Because I have never seen a man can stand slide smoothly in slowly speed without Orangatang.
