    Default I need opinions on what wheels i should get.

    alright, i have a board i made myself, 36 in, gullwing sidewinders drop through, 10in, 7in then 10 in body, ends are 4 inches. take a look.
    i wanted a wheel 70 or bigger, but i need wheels to offset to avoid wheel bite one of the pictures shows the clearance i have. i currently have kryptonics classic k 70mm 80d. they're alright. but i don't think they're as fast as i can get, i want something just as hard or harder, and with an outward stretch of contact patch like what the kryptonics does.
    i was thinking, 80mm clear offset kryptonics which are pretty good for the price, otang inheats, what you guys think? you mind giving me reasoning behind the choice, not something like "otangs for the win" or "otangs i like them"

    here is a picture of the belly side, don't laugh, i like it.(thats what she said.)

    Not gonna lie one bit, but that is the most god awful looking board i've ever seen.

    Get some Sector 9 race formulas, 74mm 80a. Great wheel at a better price. Then use the money you saved on the wheels to start saving for a new deck.

    It's only through innovative design like this that we can push the
    barriers of longboarding forward,or fail spectacularly

    never give up dude

    there's a fine line between genius and madness

    and I think that board is made out of a dresser or some heavy furniture

    you decide

    What tools did you use to cut that out? A machete and tin snips? You don't plan on going out in public with that board do you? Is this a joke?

    I'm done bashing the board. At least it doesn't look like a Dervish...


    I'm shocked you care which wheels to get. If you want a reason, get a pair and try them out yourself. You may like one better than the other regardless what people say.

    I personally prefer O-tangs out of the two you listed. I don't like transparent wheels.

    hahaha, XD
    alright i got like one two wheel suggestions,

    its cut with a jigsaw, and make fun of it all you want, but its fast, believe it or not, the design adds flex actually and is wide enough to dance on so, i'm good,
    but, I'm sticking with this deck, i like it, but I just needed better wheels, and didn't get many serious suggestions!

    this is my third board, all of them our nothing like what you've guys have seen, but they all have their purpose.

    looks like the next big DH shape, your truck mounts are amazing. Keep up the good work...

    Also, how the f^ck does that thing turn with the trucks mounted at some obscene angle?
    I have a bunch of skateboards

    Isn't this what you're supposed to put in a signature?

    looks sort of something i built... but only vaguely.



    this is before i drilled it, and clear coated it.

    it was also a quick job with a jigsaw. but sanded the rails with hand tools. i think you should work on you consistency. it looks like ti was a scribble drawing made into a deck. what in heavens name kind of wood are you using?

    Its out of birch plywood, can't afford much, was really into longboarding but couldn't afford an actual board, so i just got some parts and wood, had tools there ya go, i got a board.

    i have gullwing sidewinders, but had to tighten those up until i got some bigger wheels because those things turn... they turn, on my emo girls board, it could turn in a 4-5 foot clearance, but this one because of the body has to have like 8 feet, (this is just a light shift of the weight turn, not a hard carve, or hard shift of weight), the board has a larger body, that will hit the ground with loosened trucks, but the trucks pick the board off the ground and make it great for pumping, thats why i was asking for some wheel suggestions, 70mm is kind of small, with some bigger wheels, i could loosen trucks and not have to worry as much, I ended up going with abec 11 gumballs 76mm 88a. I like to slide

    yeah, the two boards are pretty similar, except for probably the size difference and slight shape differences.

    In the list of pics you had, the first board's tail was nice if you wanted to gut someone, but other than that...

    If anything just save up your money for an entire new deck.... I think you have enough parts to put a better board together >_>

    If the guy had the resources he could build a better board,
    if he had the cash he could buy a better board.
    But despite what he doesn't have he was imaginative and resourceful enough to make himself happy.

    Good choice on the Gumballs ninjapenguin. Keep up the good work.
