Freeride Mania

Landyachtz have jumped onto the bandwagon and just brought out their new freeride models.

Its interesting how freeriding is the in thing at the moment. The most sought after wheels are now the freeride style wheels with the lack of lips and contact patch and most the videos we see these days are Canadian dudes forgetting they are actually not riding their snowboards. Everything is about freeriding now.
Is it only a matter of time before the fad ends and we are back to the Zig style wheels? or will something entirely new set the market?
Square wheels anyone?

More like AU$106.30 shipped for the Orangatang "Stimulus" 70mm

Maybe when the AU dollar climbs a bit the price will be under AU$100

i thought it was too late to sign up. I also thought prior to your post about using the dseed for the SGS, that it was going to be very slalom orientated which i aint good at. but since it aint and since i can decide to do it when i get to the event, i guess why not.

Yeah Leigh i got the $83 with the stimulus wheels because i pick USPS priority mail INTERNATIONAL which works out to be only $8.67 Instead of the 24.95.

it turns out to be $44.84 for the wheels and $24.95 for the shipping in USD, which turns out to be $97.83 AUD. I don't know where you got $80 from Joe.
