Reviews written by Kay-mahn Better than Abec11, Monday, 16 February 2009
Chris Chaput really did a good job with Abec11 but overall i think Oranagtang is better. At least for the Bigzigs Abec makes every wheel that youd need for any type of riding but Orangatang makes their wheels for downhill and freeride and for beasts. Abec11's Reflex Formuls is pretty stupid. Especially with the Flywheels. I'll just get some 81a flys than reflexs. They are pretty much the same thing. The Reflexes look badass but they are pretty much pointless when its show time. ORANGATANG FOR LIFE!
