These wheels were a replacement for my Loaded 65mm wheels on my Fish. The Loaded wheels were not fast enough but I loved the round profile. The Powerballs are the exact solution. Faster roll speed for the rat race and same great drift. AWESOME WHEELS!

This board is great in a city. It has all the right moves. I can't wait to get it to a skate park to push the surf style some more

Longboard Review

How long have you ridden the board: 3.5 months
What is your setup like?: Bamboo Flex 1. Tracker 149 Race Trax. 1/4" Soft Risers. Pink Powerballs
Typical Session Discipline: Carving, Pumping, Surf Styling
How much did you pay?: 240.
Where did you purchase it?: Skates on Haight
What were the strengths of the deck.: The board is an amazing commuter. I ride in NYC every day. The kick tail makes it a really lively board. I get some amazing drift on turns with this board. The only reason I am not still running the stock loaded 65mm wheels is because they are too slow on a roll. The 72mm Powerballs helped that. This board is nice and pumpable. A very exciting ride!
What were the weaknesses?: The only weakness with the Fish is the potential for heel bite. The cutaway by the tail is somthing to get used to. But that is it.
Similar decks you have ridden?: Bamboo Vanguard. Very different, but similar. There is nothing quite like the Fish.
Would you recommend it?: Yes
