the bustin wheels are smaller than the loaded ones though, they are only 66, wheras these are either a 70 or 75.
fiarly similar design i guess, but most of the top name racing wheels are now, big zigs, sector nine, these, bustin, even the landy ones are kinda similar.
Kryptonic Hawaii's those wheels are so good. i got and old set but i've decommissioned them from the arsenal... too many sess slides. ive looked high and low for a set as well but no luck. I just bought a set of O'tangs from Hop. the 70 mm ones and put them on my Dervish. had those suckers drifting and sliding on the first ride. really nice control, fast, bright. exellent wheels. as good as Big Zigs, Prob. better for Agressive city carving and throwing the board around

I'm on this guys. I reserved some stock for Australia a while ago out of the first batch. I'm just waiting on shipping costs. It could be painful. The problem is the length. I think we can get away with it if we ship smaller quantity because the dimensions that calculate the weight involved length x width x height. So as long as the height (quantity of boards) is not too high the length should not matter. I think they are going to let me have 5 out of the first batch and I have had way more enquiries than that. And I want one ... stay tuned.

I can only get two boards in the first batch, which makes shipping very expensive on two boards. Plus they will be a soft flex, hard flex is coming out later. So I passed on the two boards, unless two people here want to pay $615 each for a board only !!!!
USPS will not ship this length board so we have to use a courier.
If we get quantity in a shipment, the cost of the board comes down to $380 to 420. So a complete will be running over $500.
I would like opinions? $550 too much for a dancer complete?
