please do some research and experementing before you mega hype something....

72a flys drift better than all wheels

ive owned and ridden all the wheels you speak of, and they suck compared to 72a flys

oh and the new flys suck too

you mean the reflexes?

if so i beg to differ.... those things HAUL downhill. I didnt think wheels made that big of a difference, but back to back they make a HUGE diffrence IMO. Or do you mean just drifting? I havnt tryed drifting them yet.....

Is this font the same font you use for your boards? It can't be, i hope not. I went throught the 256.... milion fonts i have in photoshop, and this was the one it looked best. I already clearcoatedthem yesterday, i am waiting them to dry now.

So, do you like it? how much from 0 to 10?

I don't own a metal workshop, i own a whole estate, with metal workshop, wood workshop, pottery, a school, instrument workshop, a huge hall (The first hall built in Scotland), many huge houses and lots of other stuff too.

I wish i own it, hahaha i live here in this Anthroposophy Comuunity, called camphill, maybe some of you have heard about it already. But we live here in community with disabled people, therefore there are lots of workshops around here. The bad point is that i only get to use the workshops, when i am in holidays, and the kids are away in holidays at home.

dont be silly, it does have sparkles! The white is pearl white, which has little sparkles if you look very close, and the green is a sparklescent green, which has lots of green sparkles. Maybe when the sun remember to show himself up here, i will take a better picture. At the moment, i havent seen the sun so much.

The old flys drift well but barely grip at times. They're also a little scary when you take them up to higher speeds. It's a combination of bigger core, urethane, and narrower contact patch than the current flys.

The 92mm/72a set that I have is drifty enough that I can drift it on carves at fairly low speed. I'm not sure I would use them for anything really fast or really tech.

I've really been toying with the thought of either getting an Evo or Rayne Demonseed but, I just cant decide. I need to get something that is versatile. anyone got suggestions?

how tall are you....over 6'1" get a Demonseed, under 6'1" the Evo is likely more suited to you, as for versatility that's all in the build up

I'm about 5'11 so maybe the evo, and I like the fact that its top mounted and a 2in drop deck would give a nice locked-in feel. Thanks for the help

the fact that you are 5'11" just means that you have a choice but most people over 6'1" find the Evo's platform cramped....the Demonseed on the other hand is fricken HUGE

Or you could get a Kebbek which has nicer concave than either of these boards as well as options for both front steering (Comishin or Caften) or equal steering front and back (Flushcut).
