Proto Gripper wheels 110

The Proto Slider wheels feels amazing. After I sprained my ancle in a bowl with a pair of Phoenix wheels (hard PU), I needed a wheel with a better grip to the surface.
Actually I get much more speed with the gripper wheels, than with the Phoenix wheels and it's much more clean when you ride with a pair of gripper, because the wheels are soft and bouncy.
A cons with the soft wheel is, that they don't last as long as a pair of Phoenix wheels, and when you pay 80 dollar for them, you want them to last long. But I must say, that the ride are worth a it.

The picture is of sliders and, Phoenix wheels are some of the softest wheels in the market. And half of the time you were calling grippers sliders.

i don't think people give phoenix wheels the respect they deserve so... let me start out by saying i have ridden, scratch that OWNED almost all of the wheels out right now.. I absolutely LOVE my phoenix wheels, i got them in a trade from a guy who had them for a couple months already in the beggining of summer and they haven't shown ANY sign of wear whats so ever! there is no sign of dehubbing ether and i ride street all the time! I have also olvolized EVERY single pair of wheels i have owned (including Protos) and there is no sign of olvalization. for those that say they feel like a flat tire... have you ever owned a pair? mine are fast as fuck (Second to protos) with the same bearings that came with it!!! ill have up pics tommarow of how little they are worn..

Im talking about the 110mm ones..

Pros- fast, doesnt ovalize, shows little wear, bearing that they come with are good, look pretty C:, last long time.

Cons- 100$

BEADY!
i have owned them and they are expensive and feel really slow, i switched to dual protos and it felt like sex, but i agree that it is a very reliable wheel and deserves some respect.

MGP VX2 Team Edition Deck!

Pros: very nice to ride
Weighs nothing compared to original Mgp team deck can really tell a difference as it only weighs 1.21kg!! But still feels very strong!
Grinds are a lot better as you havnt got the big chunk of welding on bottom of deck
Nice curved edge for finger whips
Easy to get used to if your riding a later Mgp

Cons: new shock griptape peels very easy
Doesn't fit a Phoenix switch blade probs have to try mod it to fit it, also the brake that's already on it is a 100mm madd brake but I bent mine back so I could fit grippers on
No good to use bolts as the back axle as you can't get a socket on to tighten the nut
Thats all I can think of?
Iv only ridden it once and I actually love the deck, really easy to get use to it if you ride Mgp's, very light compared to the old Mgp team that's if your a weight freak.
IMO it's a great deck!

Fuzion elite review

Pros:
-cheap 100$
-thread less stock
-perfect size deck
-110 wheels
-dialed out of box
-flex fender
-ics that actually works

Cons:
-no full deck grip
-clamp strips easy
-CROSS BAR BENDS IN 5 MIN!
-axles strip

overall it not bad for 100$ but really its only worth buying it for the deck,fork and wheels. its insanely dialed out off the box and the ics stays tight. but worst of all as i said the bars bend like copper. i have had to sets of bars both have which bend within a hour. but its still worth picking one up for a flat scooter.

blunt aos street review
good- very light, fingerwhip friendly, great for grinds, locks in to stalls and grinds perfectly

bad-the brake is kinda noisy but not to bad


Park- this deck is great for locking into to any kind of stall, and if you love pipe like me, this deck is perfect

street- this deck can is really strong so it can take some good high drops, and it slides really smoothly on rails

^^ I was riding with Jake, and there was a really sticky rail that I could barely hit on my district, because it was so sticky, but he was sliding nicely on it with his AOS v2
