They do indeed rock, Thursday, 24 July 2008 Written by cisco - View all my reviews - Top 500 Reviewer
Equipment Reviews How long have you ridden them?: almost a yearWhat Setup are you running them on?: got em on some tracker midtracks for my Flexdex glass grenade with bones super swiss. Typical Discepline?: commuter board / mini How much did you pay for them?: I completely forget. But I think like 40? Where did you buy them?: Daddiesboardshop What are their weaknesses?: I have the softest clear blues - 75a. However as compared to slightly larger wheels, they can get bumpy on sidewalks due to sidewalk cracks. Not a big deal, as they are smooth as long as the surface is. What are their strengths?: They are beyond grippy and look very very sexy. I can pull mad turns and the wheels have no bite at all. It's beautiful. What similar equipment have you ridden?: They ride like shrunken down zig zags Would you recommend them?: Yes

Rockin' the 90 & 95 Tunnels!, Saturday, 05 July 2008 Written by columbia cruiser - View all my reviews - Top 1000 Reviewer
Equipment Reviews How long have you ridden them?: 2 monthsWhat Setup are you running them on?: I am running the Red 90s on a Mike McGill reissue with Indy 169s and the Blue 95s on a blank, double-kick 9"x32" pool/park deck with Indy 139s. Typical Discepline?: Smooth skatepark concrete How much did you pay for them?: $40 for each set Where did you buy them?: SoCal Skate Shop What are their weaknesses?: They are sideset, which isn't a weakness, but I had to buy a shorter set of Indys to get them to fit right on my blank pool board. The Red 90s aren't too fast, but I bought them for a mellow carving wheel to glide smoothly around the park and if you are into that, they are SO FUN! All the kickflip kids at the park fight over riding it when I show up. What are their strengths?: They are so smooth, grippy and fast! Some people think you need 100a durometer wheels to go fast in the park, but they haven't tried the Blue 95s yet! With Rockn' Rons Rockets, I can get these to go as fast as I want. Also, I love a wide wheel. Just feels more smooth and surfy when I am carving transition and grips wonderfully. What similar equipment have you ridden?: Some Powell Rat Bones & Mini Cubics, which were okay, but I like these better. Would you recommend them?: Yes

Loverly, Wednesday, 06 February 2008 Written by LandLockedboardingGS - View all my reviews - Top 500 Reviewer
Equipment Reviews How long have you ridden them?: 3 monthsWhat Setup are you running them on?: 23inch Mini most of the time Typical Discepline?: people dodging What are their weaknesses?: After a little while of pushing the wheels around on a very swerfy set up...Bennett fronts and Fultracks in the back, wedge...I feel that they arent as durable as I thought for 82a...THEY GET nice and soft tho... What are their strengths?: Ultimate surfy wheel...Great on smooth surfaces, and you can really link up good S turns and pretend you are doing cutbacks and riding a shortboard (surfboard). And, I find the lower duros to be way grippy. The higher duro 82a I love and can slide but they grip back quickly...its a surfers wheel. I am going to get the 84a soon too... What similar equipment have you ridden?: ZigZags. Would you recommend them?: Yes

Tunnel Rocks 78a, Thursday, 05 July 2007 Written by nocturnal.nz - View all my reviews - Top 50 Reviewer
Equipment Reviews How long have you ridden them?: One monthWhat Setup are you running them on?: A homemade runabout (similar to Landyachtz Dingy) with Tracker 85mm Halftracks and Pleasuretools Sealed Abec 7 bearings. Typical Discepline?: Commuting, Slalom How much did you pay for them?: US$32 Where did you buy them?: www.thelongboardstore.com What are their weaknesses?: Not many that I have found so far. What are their strengths?: These wheels rock. I love them. They look super styley, are super grippy and all my mates wish they had them. I live in NZ so imported them myself, so I'm pretty sure no one else nearby has a set. The size and shape fits the Tracker trucks perfectly and gives my board a real 'old school' look. What similar equipment have you ridden?: Abec 11 Gumballs 78a. Would you recommend them?: Yes
