I never tried them on my own deck but some Swiss slalomers use them. (It's a Swiss website, Aki's main sponsor and the biggest slalom- and longboardshop in Switzerland btw).

Their surface is kind of "pre-roughed"....you might use them for TS if you're looking for a quick wheel....

The Alligator 71mm's I got had the same new surface.

check this link:

That's the local dealer. You best click contact and ask them directly. I don't know much about those wheels.

hope this helps,

Edit: Now I found out: They're produced in the same factory as the Moska wheels are produced (Brazilian label). Actually, they just have different prints.

Yep, that's a Moska core and evidence of their expanding contract-wheels business. Global economy, folks!

i emailed them and got a response...it's too darn expensive to import into the states (at least for one set of wheels). i'll just stick with my zigs i guess
