Lime Bigzigs

Jono92 · 05-03-2008, 05:47 PM

I was wondering if lime bigzig's are suitable for standup drifts or slides?
I am going to be doing all around cruising on them, but I'd feel more comfortable with them if i knew that I could do a coleman or something to stop myself or slowdown if I was going too fast. I weigh 175lbs so would it be hard for me to slide them? My choice was lime bigzigs or 86mm flywheels, I really wanted to go with the flywheels, but I didn't have enough money... So did I make a good choice?

Lime Bigzigs are awesome standup slide wheels. I suggest first doing colemans and/or toeside slides with them to break them in and then try to carve and break free then work on standup drift/slides. Once limes are broken in they are great.

thanks, will it take a long time to break them in?

No, not really. Theres an article on loadeds website about breaking in soft wheels for sliding. But basically it says just carve hard with them and then try to slide once you have carved hard with them for a few days.

yeah I can do standup slides on my pink (pink is 77a I think) bigzigs better than I can on my 77mm 88a strikers.

Hell yes you can slide on Lime bigzigs!

At first they chatter (skip) a bit, but once the lips have been broken in and rounded out slithly,
They are great and very predictable.

I can stand up 180 on my slalom set up (Roe PS32) with RT-X/S with lime zigzags. It's all about practice. Broken in wheels are better of course.

oh yea? well I can standup slide my 60" dancer on lime zigs beat that buddy.

I submit if that is possible, well then limes must be a decent wheel for standups.

On the other hand, if you really wanna bust out the slides, go for the lemons. they also have that G.I. joe kung-fu grip when you need it.

lemons might be better

They are best wheels ever
