I've tried a few of the older brands Siesmic hotspots, not bad, Loaded Orangatangs, used them for GS at the pump station, but were a little slippy if pushed. I'm right out of touch with wheel models and brands. Once was the time slalom was developing wheels used for downhillers, now all the new wheels are no doubt downhill/longboard specific, and adapted to slalom. I came late to Zig Zags but they are certainly my favourites.

The Zig Zags were used by a few with no trouble, they just work, always.

the wide wheels at the back work a treat if you have a fair bit of side load as in a coarse with a lot of offset but they are harder work for tight slalom. I think for G.S and/or rougher surface the wider wheels feel safe more stable and still fast. They were the most successful and popular for banked slalom (front and rear) in Canberra. I think after Dave Miller did a few runs at Canberra he probably felt the weren't nimble enough. It was a fun to have a tight coarse this year for a change.

Hey Dan, re wider wheels, Have you found them any good? I noticed Dave Miller was trying out some new wider wheels at Canberra, but he swapped back after a run or two. Even though they are older tech maybe, I can't go past my retro Zig Zags, rear set are beautifully coned and buffed and always grip.
