OK, I think it would make sense to group them to diminish the number of photos we add to each topic, then we can add topics for each of these groups of photos.

Good afternoon, brothers and sisters of the cone.

The fact the back end is sliding out has you worried your wheel is losing traction. Another possibility to consider is your getting into slalom, constant pumping and increasing strength has you putting more pump into your board and thus you're not sliding out but you are PUSHING out your back end. ...

they're offset...if they're anything like the 76mm ones, they're a little more off-set than zigs. but, i've heard that these earthwings have a harder lip than zigsSteve Collins wrote:Nice looking wheels. Are they center-set? if so, I'm stoked and will try some. If not, they're just copying ZigZags.
