Reviews written by MJKam11 Good all around wheels, Wednesday, 18 February 2009
Equipment Reviews How long have you ridden them?: 1 yearWhat Setup are you running them on?: none at the moment, but I have ran them on my Reflex 44" with Bear 852's and my Evo with Bear 840/852's. Typical Discepline?: Downhill, freeriding How much did you pay for them?: came with Evo Where did you buy them?: Mile High Skates What are their weaknesses?: Not very durable, urethane tends to chunk off (not enough to make it a problem), the white wheels suck b/c they turn piss yellow. What are their strengths?: They make kewl marks in the road, they have a good slide when broken in, they're not all that grippy but grip more than you would think when you need it, but when you get to higher speeds and try to rail it, you're gonna slip. They are very very controllable. What similar equipment have you ridden?: gumballs, grippins, fly's Would you recommend them?: Yes The Smoothest Drift I have ever felt (besides old , Wednesday, 18 February 2009
Equipment Reviews How long have you ridden them?: 3 months (84a)What Setup are you running them on?: Subsonic Reflex 44" Bear 852's Mini-Logo's (84a) Typical Discepline?: Drifting, LIGHT downhill, sliding, commute How much did you pay for them?: 35 Where did you buy them?: amazon What are their weaknesses?: They don't grip, they feel slow (in 84a) What are their strengths?: They have the smoothest slide/drift I have ever felt, they feel like sliding in the rain on BigZigs (but more controlled). They also last for a very long time, no signs of wear and i've been sliding them around a bit over the past few months. What similar equipment have you ridden?: I've rode coned Blastwaves (they are drifty) fly's, clear krypto's, EW freeriders, Blue Kryptos Would you recommend them?: Yes 90mm flywheels, Tuesday, 18 November 2008
Equipment Reviews How long have you ridden them?: Around 3 monthsWhat Setup are you running them on?: Was on Evo w/Grizzlies Typical Discepline?: Downhill How much did you pay for them?: 80ish Where did you buy them?: Amazon What are their weaknesses?: None really, they're a big wheel and they act like it. That means they are a bit heavier but roll over everything and roll much longer. The slide was also a bit choppy because of the huge amount of urethane on the wheels. What are their strengths?: Roll strongly, act like a big wheel, keep inertia, grippy enough but would let loose if you wanted. What similar equipment have you ridden?: Other sizes of flys (83 and 76) Would you recommend them?: Yes Excellent deck, Wednesday, 01 October 2008
Longboard Review How long have you ridden the board: About 4 monthsWhat is your setup like?: Bennett 6.0's 66mm superballs, swiss bearings Typical Session Discipline: cruise, carve, commute, pump How much did you pay?: 65 for the deck from Brian Where did you purchase it?: At the RIP What were the strengths of the deck.: There are many to list. It does everything that I do on flatground and minor hills very well. If carves, pumps, is light and is very maneuverable. Keep in mind this is b/c of my Bennetts but even without them, its still a very maneuverable board. Its so much fun to ride and when you need to, isn't a pain in the ass to carry around. What were the weaknesses?: Not very good for DH b/c its too small and not wide enough. If anything, they should make it 9-9.5 inches wide then I would ride this for everything, but for what I use it for, its good. Similar decks you have ridden?: Supercharger, Random Gravity and S9 decks (such as the Gravity Carver 43"). Would you recommend it?: Yes They're obviously good, Wednesday, 01 October 2008
Equipment Reviews How long have you ridden them?: 3 monthsWhat Setup are you running them on?: Evo setup for DH Typical Discepline?: DH/freeride How much did you pay for them?: 50 something Where did you buy them?: local shop What are their weaknesses?: Other than getting dirty, not much to complain about. The only thing they don't have are double shields but I don't get picky with that stuff. What are their strengths?: They're good, have bigger balls........pretty much it. What similar equipment have you ridden?: Bones Swiss, Reds, mini-logos Would you recommend them?: No Results 1 - 5 of 25
