that.... is.... beautiful!.... but i'm questioning the strength of the headtube, there are too many decks on the market theese days, but that one is really original and i could totally see them taking off. but i doubt i'll see one in aussie land.

How is that deck totally original? It's a headtube welded to a deck, just like all other welded decks.

the what they made the integrated cups is pretty original, aside fron the crisp deck looking a tad bit similar, the foot tube cut out is definately original, but thats it. the extrusion of the deck apears similar to phase twos or addicts(just not as thin)

haha yeah
grippers are the best feeling wheels, but they only lasted me like 3 weeks before they started dehubbing.

they should last you more than 3 weeks lol you have to break them in....
i just meant that sliders last longer than grippers, but in my opinion grippers feel better. if i was on the team or got them for free i would definitely ride grippers

"breaking in" wheels is just a myth. I dont see how going easy on your wheels for 3 weeks is going to strengthen the glue, or make the urethane less likely to chunk or tear.

Not a myth... Kids who "break them in" Have had them last longer then others who don't. That's all the evidence I need... And who says 3 weeks? I just bomb a hill a few times or ride easy for the first day

wheels need time to cure before you ride them. usually it takes urethane about a month to fully cure after it's poured. if you ride them within that time, they're more likely to break or dehub. alot of companies dont realize this, and just sell their wheels right after they're made, so naturally some of the wheels break.

im gussing that's why my sliders have lasted so long. Bought them, dyed them. Then didn't ride them for 6 weeks waiting on other parts. Rode them. Still riding them to this day 13 months later.

Small things.... the integrated headset, its the only(?) Deck that comes mirror polished. The meck cut out. The extrusion? Its just a nice looking and different styled deck, plus the width and hta anbd length could be anything

Width is 4.25 I think length is 19-20ish hta is 82.5. The only thing original about it is its painfully small dimensions.

Width is 4.5, the length is 20 and 20.6, and it is an 83 degree head tube angle on the hep and 82.5 on the standard.

Just found these in a box in my closet. I believe they were my first 110mm wheels (2005) Eyecandy to me anyway. Did anyone else use these? Volcanix wheels I think. Imma glue them up and ride them.
