when i first got these wheels i put them on my dervish , which was new at the time and it took me 3 or 4 days to get used to em. i tried to slide them the first 5 minutes i rode them. needless to say they bucked me off into my neighbor's rock wall , so make sure u break em in before you try to slide them , but overall these are the best wheels ive ever ridden ... EVER.

it might sound weird , but these wheels almost have moods, when your carving them they stay really sticky , but when u do like 2 slides , they kinda go into "sliding mode" and then they lose thier grip and slide like strikers. but as soon as you ride threw a puddle or dust em off with a few careful carves , they go straight back to sticking to the concrete , its great!

Amazing, if you want a good wheel for carving or DH or just all around cruising, these are great wheels. These wheels have forced me to become religiously dedicated to ABEC11 wheels. They are not good for sliding those of you who think they are, there are much better sliding wheels out there believe me... BUY YOURS OR PERISH!!!
Equipment Reviews
How long have you ridden them?: A month
What Setup are you running them on?: Landyachtz Spud, 30º Seismics, and of course, GUMBALLS!
Typical Discepline?: Downhill (ON MY SPUD!!!!)
How much did you pay for them?: $40
Where did you buy them?: VB skates
What are their weaknesses?: They drift out on corners sometimes when you go FAST, and I mean fast. It is hard to mount them on with a normal wrench because of the tiny hole going into where the bearings are.
What are their strengths?: Very grippy if controlled correctly, rolls over small babies, almost perfectly predictable, look really cool, and roll fast.
What similar equipment have you ridden?: Some crappy s9 wheels about the same size but smaller contact patch. They sucked.
Would you recommend them?: Yes
