49.99+8.99shipping=US$58.98=au$75.62(@.78AU to US dollar).

Not bad as I payed something like AU$77 shipped from stoked when the AU dollar was like .80 to US dollar for the same wheel's.

Get them Jonty, they will be sick on the hellcat. Highly recommend them, but they do wear quickly which makes them slide super smoothly. But if u are light weight like myself and yourself Jonty it’s not such a problem.

For the heaver rider (80kg or more) id recommend the retro free rides as they seem to be really grippy, even in orange flavour (86a). Wear really slowly, and because of the extra weigh being thrown into the slide, they will be about the same as the o-tangs.

Mark, that shipping is to USA/Canada. More for Aus.

I didn't know you had durians!!! Sick!

Is that what you were pulling those made toesides on in the vid?

BTW, I'm not looking to buy new wheels right now. I think I will save for a bit, plus my Gumballs are in really top condition still...pity they are shit for sliding.

why buy something over here when its a little cheaper to buy it from another country? well instead of your money going overseas, it goes back into the Aussie longboarding industry and helps grow the sport in the direction we all want it to go.

CHC3 last sunday, there was local support/help from,
Cr8tive sk8t, Fsu, Hopkin, Macs, (that i can think of)

Didnt see any overseas web based companies lending a hand to pick up cones or donate anything.
Keep it local if you can.

holy shit. i didn't even know they had them! that's cheaper than the in heats too. thanks for that. i reckon i will get some freeridey wheels (durians, flywheels, retro freerides or something) when my gumballs eventually wear out. that is a really good deal IMO.

Hopkin=$110+deliv
Boardshop=$89

Hopkin is free delivery in Aus and will match any aus web sites price if he is able, either is good, buy in aus if you can get it at a good price.
