I miss ole Eagle sport. I am in the need for new wheels so I thought I should buy some eagles. But the question is, Do any of you still ride them?

yeah, i love eagles, you just gotta be clean on them.

I would not say I am the cleanest rider in the world but I'm not incredibly sketchy. I have been riding grippers strong for 6 months with no sign of dehubbing and no chunks. The only reason i am looking into new wheels is because my protos are getting so worn down.

Yes. Had my current set for more than 9 months and I've got another set coming in the post.

They are good just gotta make sure you have them spinning tricks reasonably nailed before you go putting eagles on. It's also good to ride them around for a bit before taking them to the park and breaking them in.

Thanks for the input! I will for sure cruise around a little before I hit some spots on them.

Yeah for sure man don't be too fussy with it just bomb a few hills before you go 360'ing stair sets.

I don't dehub them but they always chunk on me. I'm a pretty clean rider and I wore them in. My last one chunked while I was crusing a bowl.

I used to like eagles OGs when i rode them. bought a pair of eagles 2 summers ago and i got a flat spot on one in 45 min and chunked the hell out of the other one in 4 weeks.

i dont do triple heels at the windells flyout so i wouldnt know

I pictured mike kelso saying "burn!" While reading that
 
Chunked both of my eagles in two days. Shit wheels if you ask me. I've had plastic core yaks last me longer. I usually just ride the Yak Scats cause there 15 bucks a wheel and last just as long as any other $40 wheel.
