winter test riders wanted for prototype wheel design

[Riley Hughes]

Let Dalton test themmm (DMAZZ)

deff

sounds cool, You could also experiment with wider wheels perhaps. I thought about this once, have them like bigger skateboard wheels that are skinnier.

It would open up to various dyed designs aswell

Interesting, does anyone know the max width allowed btw "dropouts" of some newer decks?
I'll measure the ones on mine.

 

[DMazz]

i just measured the lucky 4.0 pro deck dropout width for a wheel its 1 1/4" soo you would have to make a wheel a little less then that to fit

let hunter becthle test them hes insane

[markmacwan]

i bet like half of the people that say they wanna test them out just want new wheels,lol

 

[charliepfitz]

Thanks D

 

[Mark Abramsky]

any updates on the wheels?

 

[charliepfitz]

nope, new sketches but I can't get em till next week

 

[alexanderespinoza]

i've thought of this a long time ago and i was the only one who thought it might work if the urethane was hard enough.

 

[Biagio.]

im from New york and im in the process of making a video. i will test them street and park. when im done with the vid (which should be soon) i guess ill post it

I would definitely let Zig test them because if they can hold up to his street thrashing they can hold up to anything. You need to let some of the gnarliest riders test them too see how they last under that kind of stress. You also need to let some super techy people test them to see how they can take that style riding. Also you need to let some of the bigger riders (height and weight) test the wheels. Like Twan, Stan, or me considering I'm 6 foot 4 and 185 pounds. Oh and by the way, great idea.

haven't gotten a quote yet, but a friend of mine who's looked into this sort of shit says it'll probably be quite expensive. might have to wait till i get some cash

 

[Spicy McHaggis]

a solid urethant wheel? honestly it will just break if there is alot of sideways force brought onto it

I dnt has a vid btu i wnt free weels plz

Lmao Aaron. That was awesome.

Seriously, if I were you, and I could choose anyone in this thread to let test the wheels, let Dmazz (Dalton Mazzante), Zig Short, or Hunter Bechtle test them. Half of the kids in here just want free wheels. The guys I listed, I know they would actually put them to use.

I'd test them also, if ya want. Here's mah vid:

[charliepfitz]

yeah, i'm with you but i don't really have enough money to make any prototypes right now

 

[brian amato]
