these are the best hard carving wheels ive ever ridden. They stick to the road like glue and are best for just cranking out tight carves, i would recommend lime or lemon zig zags over these for tight slalom as they rool faster, but in gs or general carving these grip better. Just watch out at high speed as when these break loose they get choppy and violent. I actually broke a helmet when these slid on me, just remember not to carve off your back foot at high speeds

all the randal bushungs are absolutely horrible, the yellows came on my 180's and they blewout in about an hour of riding. I figured the blacks that came with my DH's would be a little better since they were a barrel style, but once again they blewout in only a couple hours of riding.

go 83mm for downhill
Equipment Reviews
How long have you ridden them?: 1 year
What Setup are you running them on?: 90mm flywheels, drop deck+drop through longboardlarry speed board, randall downhill 160mm, bones swiss bearings
Typical Discepline?: downhill, of course
How much did you pay for them?: dont remember
Where did you buy them?: longboardlarry
What are their weaknesses?: the 90mm are just too big for downhill, they are heavy and therefore do not accelerate fast enough for downhill, i have ridden the 83mm and found them to be better for downhill, lighter but still glide well
What are their strengths?: fast, roll over anything, resist speed wobble from hitting pebbles at high speeds. They like to drift at high speeds, which with slide gloves on makes taking tight corners at balls to the wall speed easier
What similar equipment have you ridden?: 83mm flywheels
Would you recommend them?: Yes

This board is starting a revolution, first of all the rolled edges make the narrow deck incredibly comfortable to stand on, its really responsive: curl your toes and you'll turn. Its agile and slaloms well, but the suprising thing is that this board is more stable than my 34" lanyyachtzd, you can actually bomb hills on this thing, i have heard from larry that a guy bombed maryhill on one of these things. This board will simply change what you think about mini's!

P.S. Beware, your crusier will begin collecting dust in your closet
Longboard Review
How long have you ridden the board: 3 weeks
What is your setup like?: 24 inch deck, tracker midtracks, tunnel rocks 75a, plaesure tool abec 7
Typical Session Discipline: campus transport, slaloming, carving, cruising
How much did you pay?: 140ish
Where did you purchase it?: Larry, of course
What were the strengths of the deck.: comfortable, agile, responsive, suprisingly stable
What were the weaknesses?: small wheels are rough on campus sidewalk, pushing on the 24 or 22 is a little akward
Similar decks you have ridden?: arbor pocket rocket, landyachtz dinghy
Would you recommend it?: Yes
