Have you guys tried these wheels yet? Please leave your thoughts below, keen to see what other people have to say. Tbh, didn't get enough riding time on these. I feel like I'll like them more and more when I try them on different spots. They have a ton of control, and I can't wait to see what I can do at other spots, and push myself a bit more, I really feel like I could get to a higher level of freeride on these tbh ... but to be seen, cheers!
GoPro hand work is next level. 😮 I got these as a beginner before seeing this and I don’t think I’ve done enough sliding to get the buttery part. However, even with inconsistent technique, I was able to get some short thane marks. Along way to go, but excited to keep trying.
Prism, Caliber Trucks and Blood Orange wheels. Can't go wrong with any of that gear. My Prism Theory V2 is the most awesome deck, imo and I have raked, Cal IIIs and Blood Orange LMPs set up on it of course. Awesome videos! Keep up the good work! 🛹
So I’ve been skating blood orange smokes and I’ve been able to learn a lot on them (Coleman’s, toeside pendulum, and stand up 180s both ways) but I want to start learning to skate corners. Should I just throw o. The 80a Liam Morgan’s that I already have sitting around or should I get something more downhill focused like the powel krimes
It looks like your bearings spacers aren’t sized perfectly, I think the wheels should spin freely tight or not. But I don’t think it will cause a significant performance difference except maybe shorten the life of the bearings due to more side load
Do you have a lot of good hills to ride down in Kenya I don’t know how it is to live there. Where I live I have 2 areas with great hills I ride and it’s all in 1 1/2 mile radius. They are slick and paved
I understand, I haven't looked at how other similarly sized and performing products compare, but Im quite happy with these. I def wouldn't have spent $75 tbh, but having ridden them I am actually pretty stoked on them, and depending how they handle other stuff and how they hold up, I might be convinced they're worth the price ... at least for me ya know

Can't wait for the full review. Just picked up some snakes bc your review and I'd love to see how they stack up in your opinion
Sick brother
I wanna see a review of the prism skate Co hindsight!!
Awesome footage! Where did you get your pucks and puck risers from?
Nemo pucks and risers! Got them from them, and had a friend bring them to the UK so I could ship them to Kenya tax free :)

Using what you have always works, but you should graduate to kruimes when you want to go faster round corners

I want to tried the New wheels but i dont have a skate shoop to by the wheels
For the drift series, which duro do you think is more flatspot prone? The higher of lower one?
Higher
not sure yet, but they suprisingly durable and not flatspotting too easily, despite thaning ... very suprised
Ay bro are you running your cals with tall boardside in front, shorts in back?
Nah shorts. 50 plate Infront and 35 Randal plate in the back
Ohhhh
Is that a wooden torque block?
No, just wood colored, it#'s some type of foam
@@downhill254skate would love a short one on that and torque blocks in general if u would

they're not bad, but I always defualt to the hills closest to me. It's just easier.
How do I know my setup is dialed?
it feels good. Responsive but stable. But most importantly it feels good TO YOU
I’m sorry but I can’t imagine spending $75 on freeride wheels. I know prices are rising but I’d rather skate something else for that price.
