looks awesome.
ive heard that flipping offset wheels just adds quite a bit of grip.. don't quote me on that.

Now i'm just spit ballin, but i THINK this may be one of the Rayne boards used in Long Treks on Skate Decks, so perhaps they flipped the wheels to make the width narrower to avoid a foot hitting the wheel while pushing??

that is a pretty good thought...

Just a educated guess man, dont quote me on that

to quote rayne "The board is designed to be used with 70-75mm wheels and ideally with 170mm trucks or with 180mm trucks and inward set wheels such as inside out Orangatang Durians"

still doesn't answer why, but I think Mr Pascoe may be right, cause edge of the board is flat on the ground in line with the wheels

most pushing boards are pretty narror for better foot clearance so it would be logical to have a narrower wheel/truck combo as well. most good all round trucks are 180mm so you just flip the wheels to compensate
