A $55 dollar set of wheels shouldn't start shedding urethane after a month!
Equipment Reviews
How long have you ridden them?: about a month
What Setup are you running them on?: They are currently on a 23" Glass Grenade, but they spent most of their life on a flexdex pro 40
Typical Discepline?: Commuting, LDP, Parking garages, Bike trails
How much did you pay for them?: $55 ish
Where did you buy them?: Pressuredroplongboards.com
What are their weaknesses?: After about 3 days of riding I noticed cracks in the urethane. Then after about 2 weeks I took an 1nch long gash out one of the rear wheels, and then tonight I took a sizeable gash out of another wheel in a smooth parking garage.
What are their strengths?: They look amazing, pump up to speed quickly, and with the large cores they really hold their speed like cruise control. They grip really well through turns and when they finally lose traction they are real progressive and drift back into line comfortably. Basiclly they are great wheels EXCEPT they don't last!!!
What similar equipment have you ridden?: 70mm 75a Grippins that I've worn down to 62mm Grippins without losing any chunks of urethane.
Would you recommend them?: No

I highly recommend this board, It rides better than almost anything else I have ever ridden, and It looks badass. Also it"s the perfect board for commuting because it's small enough to pick up and carry once you get to the bar or work or wherever.
Longboard Review
How long have you ridden the board: 8 months
What is your setup like?: Randall 150's, 70MM zig zags, Biltin abec7, 2Sunriser head lights (one in front, and one under the back truck so it lit up the entire board at night, I highly recommend this)
Typical Session Discipline: Commuting, Parking garages
How much did you pay?: $200
Where did you purchase it?: Directly from Flexdex
What were the strengths of the deck.: This was the most fun board I have ever ridden. The ride was pretty good not as good as some other flexdex boards, but not bad. What made this board so much fun was I could see everything underneath my feet and with the lights it gave you a real sense of floating down the road at night.
What were the weaknesses?: It looked too good and somone stole it.
Similar decks you have ridden?: I replaced this with a Flexdex slalolm 30v and it has a similar ride.
Would you recommend it?: Yes

I got this board to replace my beloved Clear 29 that was stolen. It dosen't look as cool as the clear 29 but what it lacks in looks it more than makes up for with the ride.
