Are they any good. I know you gotta have big forks and crap but what im really saying is sometimes i think 100m wheels are to small i just want big wheels cause i ride street and stuff but im planning to buy this big madd scooter with like 150m forks or something and try either 125 yaks or maybe, only maybe air wheels (i think ill stick to urethane) cause do you hate it when your feet sometimes scrape on the floor sometimes... like i really dunno just want big wheels.

opinions please...

Wtf , you don't need big wheels for street. For skateboards , big wheels is for park / vert and those and small is for street as you are nearer to the ground.

Why do you need big wheels for street? I mean , theres no uphill or anything and you don't need speed for street. Tell me why you want big wheels and I will try to give you a better opinion lol.

Wow that is totally wrong. You probably need more speed for street than any other terrain since street riding usually has to do with huge gaps, stair sets ect...

 

[Scooter Mcgee]

yeah park you can just pump

 

[gorrilaman]

Yeah 110mm wheels for some speed. Comparing 100mm and 110mm , you get some extra speed but not so much. With 125mm , its a little bit exaggerated for me. Well , I might be wrong guys. Its just what I feel. I will most probably be getting 110mm Yaks but not 125mm as they won't fit and I don't like the feel. I tried those Micros with huge wheels and it feels funny.

 

[Madis]

125mm are pretty good, they are very smooth and fast. You can see my review about 125mm yaks in Wheel Review thread updated in Andrew's post long time ago.

 

[Scooter Mcgee]

yay

 

[farmboy uk]

yea i believe 125s would be good, i would never ride air wheels unless it was for trails or something.

for street riding, 125 yaks sound like a good idea

 

[Madis]

I'd say airwheels suck, riding street will kill them if you won't make sure that the spot you ride is free of sharp stuff (glass, nails, sharp rocks etc). Egon has had a pneumatic scooter and he has broken his tires at least 4-5 times and not by doing tricks but only cruising basicly.

Wanna really bet? Fly over here, then i'll win the bet, afterwards we'll go riding in some parks <3 For real, lol.
Besides, i'm used to write correctly even though i don't notice that i even press "shifts" etc, and after all i'm not the only one who writes correctly here so why are you nagging about me always? I'm not advertising correct spelling or anything, as long as everyone can understand what the person is saying. I'd say English is so god damn easy most of the time, why don't people write english then.

If you wanna discuss more about it, make a thread called "English vs 3ng1sh<333" in Discuss Anything section

Back to topic?

 

[farmboy uk]

yup back on topic after this post

i would very much love to fly over there and ride with you

maybe next summer?do you speak good english aswell?

also we are not saying your good english is a bad thing we are just impressed

 

[Madis]

I'll PM you sometime for that answer.

As far as i've ride once with 110 in front and 125 in back, then it affected whip a little bit (since 100mm yaks weigh 100grams and 125mm yaks 200grams), but it wasn't that much, it was just a thing to get used to. Cruising in the street was sooo good with that combination, smooth and really fast. As i've sometimes measured time how fast i can get home from the centre of our part (NÃ?Æ?Ã?â??Ã?â? Ã¢â?¬â?¢Ã?Æ?ââ?¬Å¡Ã?â??Ã?µmme) of Tallinn, then it took only ~4:05 instead of the usual 4:20-4:30, the distance is 1.5-1.7 km.
Riding in park was so smooth, the weirdest thing was that i didn't really have to bump, i felt like it was popping itself for me when launching a volcano. But i felt a bit uncomfortable at those funboxes that i usually use them as speedboxes, and to get smoothly over them, my big back wheel got stuck behind the edge everywhere. Man, that thing even happens to me with 110mm in the back.

sorry to be gay and nooby but for most people do you notice a difference when you go from 100 to 110 like do you hang up on stuff?

 

[Scooter Mcgee]

i dont give a shit about weight scoots are 2 light i put a socket on the back and theres no difference im just gonna get my some 125's and screw air wheels im not a big fan of dirt i just feel the need for big wheels i feel 100 110mm are almost ridicoulously small lol..

haha kenny
