Frothin of the pucks guys still thrashing my first set. Love how they are round so they wear evenly and i can rotate them let ya know when i need a new pair.

You guys should try and sell these pucks to Hop, Ado and board shop and sell them genuinely. Might work out well for you. Worth a thought.

these pucks look sick! i have a pair of the s9 gloves and i think when the stock pucks from those wear down i'll probably get some of these. the pucks that come on the s9 gloves are 80mm diameter i think, would you recommend getting this diameter when i get new pucks or should i go bigger, because they seem a little small?
cheers

guys why would you consider buying these no offense to the guy who's making them but it's a bit of a rip considering that you can make your own cloves out of plastic shopping boards and either deck glu or a hot glue gun with some gardening gloves and they work great. no offense man but i just liketo save peopple cash.
P.s i like the poster and go for it wth the sales as their are lazzy people out there who just can't be bothered putting time and effort into making their own crap.

cameron have you made slide gloves with gardening gloves and a heat gun?
they suck. thats what i have. when your actually doing serious speed your pucks wear quickly and you want good strong material. cutting board goes away shit fast on any surface that isnt butter smooth when your moving at speed. if people wanted to make their own im sure they would but if they are buying pucks with velcro the odds are they have already bought gloves and need replacement pucks that take a long time to wear down.
these look great benny, ill look to getting some when i get my s9 gloves

Hey man i have experimented with all sorts of different material for making pucks and none have stood up to the trashing as well these pucks have.
Gluing the puck to the glove is the worst idea cuz once you have worn one side its struggle town getting them turned around. Velcro is the way of the future and because they are round you can rotate them so they wear evenly and swap them left to right.
My pair are still got about a million years left on them and they slide so well don't get any melting on the edges like others i have used do.
I would recommend them to everyone cuz they workout way cheaper then chopping board and gardening gloves cuz they last so long and i'm not the only one who knows that.

i have had mates that have had their gloves made out of those materials last for like at least two years now. no maitenance jobs done on them and by the way it cost them about 5 bucks. For starters they just grabbed an old pair of gardening gloves and then got a chopping board from an oppe chop for two bucks so how can u go wrong their esppecially when it's lasted them 2 years.
Don't get me wrong I'm not saying your wrong and that these slide pucs are a piece of crap. I'm just saying that their are other cheaper options that in my eyes from what I'VE seen are just as good and cheaper to use. But i still like these puc's im just letting you know other options that peole might appreciate so don't go getting all worked up.

Cameron, I wouldn't say that $26 for a set of precision cut, custom size, extremely slow wearing, pre-velcroed pucks is a waste of money or 'rip.' Sure anyone can make their own set of slide gloves, and I did when I first started longboarding, but you get to a point where bulky gardening gloves just won't cut it, and doing slides at 60 k's an hour destroys chopping board in a few slides. It may be hard to understand why a real puck is so much better than chopping board until you try it, but it's not only the huge difference in wear, it's also the slidiness. A bit of chopping board will grab the road and slow you down, whereas a Slippery Dip puck has massive abrasion resistance allowing the puck to slide ever so freely over the bitumen. You don't get any melted plastic build up like you do with chopping board, because the material is so much harder and longer lasting. Also with our pucks being circular, they are perfect for rotating and getting even wear, you won't end up with wedge shaped pucks and will get maximum milage out of them.
These pucks are not for lazy people, they're for people who want a performance puck! Ask anyone who has tried them, and they will agree.
Ted - Yes the sector9 pucks are 80mm, but as for the best size of Slippery Dips to get... it's really just personal preference. All the sizes we do (70, 80, 90mm) will work, but it's just what you think you'll be comfortable with. Whatever you decide, I can almost guarantee you'll be happy with. These are SO much better than the stock sector pucks. My brother got a set of sector gloves and destroyed the stock pucks within a couple sessions, then he stuck a set of Slippery Dips on and is still sliding on the same set (that was about 3 months ago).
Jack - No worries mate, just let me know when you're keen.
Dion - Good work, wicked to hear that you love these pucks and that they are much better than home made jobs.

thanks man. I may have to be picking up a set soonish because like you said the stock sector9 pucks wear out crazy fast, i've only been using them for less than a week and i've already worn off 2-3mm. cheers for the advice.

fair enough Benny i see your point and maybe they are better but once again I'll say im just letting others know that might come here of other options. So dont think im trying to payout this in any way cause im not i just want other people to have different options and try to save ppeople money were they can. Is that understandable? Or are you still not seeing where I'm coming from.
