@@MotionBoardshop Can I chime in? I would like to see a video on basic first aid for the top of a hill. Do I really need to wash out that gravel? Also a video on HOW to core wheels. How to rotate, when I get a slight oval do I pendy or low angle to get it out, what’s the best way to clean core all the way around, etc.
80a Orange Skiffs are a luxury. If I had to defend the choice, I would say that they have the best "feel" on the list, and they do last a long time, without too many roundness issues. To your point, they are the most expensive, which factored into our choices. If you had to replace the drifts, what would you throw in?
I totally trust your opinion. The only wheels I ever flatspotted were blood orange…probably my fault and they were beautiful to slide until I flattened them. But now I’ll have to give them another go.
Morgans are a different urethane formula than the bangers or the drifts. They tend to wear fast which tends to make them easier to flat spot. @@cmorsley
Check out the Prism Theory V2 front and center. (the blue deck) I've had one for years and if I could custom design a freeride deck? The Prism Theory V2 would be it. Perfect in every way with every feature I would want. The one issue with the Blood Orange Morgan Pro Series wheels is that they really come into their own over 40 mph. Slower than that and you can get some chudder that can cause your board to roll over. I've heard the new Drift Series are a little more forgiving at slower speeds but I haven't tried them but I've also heard great things about the new Powell Peralta Primos that are supposed to be a little grippier than Snakes.
I have the ez hawgs and rayne envys. I concur with the ez hawgs. I can slide it from a standstill 😅. The envys are a different story. I think it's the lip. It's hard to kick out for me. I would need a lot of speed to slide it.
I agree with everything other than the snakes. They chunk way to easy for the price. I enjoyed cloud ride iceez more, better price, better durability and about the same wear speed. Just my opinion tho.
The value for snakes is undeniable though. We could make a video talking about how bad snakes were. They would still be the best selling wheels by a long shot. The Iceezz and Slusheez could be good recommendations, our only concern was our experience with previous versions being swirled. The new batches, and the current batch seems to be doing just fine. But it is like the same formula stuff as the Rayne Envy which is similar, and 70mm.
