Having only had them a couple of months, I don't know how they will do in the long run, but they seem well made and ride so well that I think they are worth checking out. My friend slides them out (Blue 95s) all the time and they are holding up well. Just say "know" to all those wide wheel haters and rock some Rocks in the park! They will be biting you after they ride 'em!
Equipment Reviews
How long have you ridden them?: 2 months
What 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
