Based on Owen's review from years before, I skated Maryhill two days straight on a single set of fresh Podiums and they were great! They really are one of the best price to performance big wheel out there right now.

The shape these use is similar to other wheels which were also great. Sugar Urethane 'Cubes' , the 73mm Biggie Hawgs, Free Wheel Co 'Loaders' and Bustin Sniper Rs were all solid performers and made in the same factory as these. I'm disappointed Biggie Hawgs were discontinued, because I share similar sentiments about those. I've not tried these yet, but your testimonial is extremely compelling and they'll probably be my next wheels.

Just want to say that without Phat Deanz (namely Specterz), Podiums wouldn't exist. They went under and lots of the guys who worked at Muir loved their wheels, so Muir basically picked up where they left off. Shoutout Phat Deanz.

I’ve always wanted a set of Phat Deanz. I’m still looking

@@owencampbell777 if you’ve ridden any of the big core Muir wheels you’ve basically ridden phat deanz, with some minor discrepancies from the urethane being a different color and some minor size changes. Otherwise I’m fairly sure it’s the same wheels

@@StevenGill1002 There were tons of wheels that shared that shape and core I think Phat Deanz Specterz, Biggie Hawgs, Sugar Cubes, Free Loaders, Cloud Ride Stormchasers, Muirskate Podiums, and AHMYO Pranas All were 73mm x 66mm. I swear there might be a couple more, but it was a while ago so idk

@RatBürgerSk8 3 ай бұрын

Ah man how could I forget about Phat Deanz. I recall the Moustache RideZ(?) were like the first freeride wheel to use that core, just before Volante Morgans. Both Clutch and Deanz did a lot to innovate and just aren't appreciated enough in hindsight.

IMO , Podiums are better than Mags...said it

@pbskater3 3 ай бұрын

Do you actually think that or just for the value? I used some phat boyz earlier this summer and they were great, smooth slide but when they were new they slowed me down quickly. I'm now on some Blackops Alphas but i have some (scrubbed) mags i haven't used yet.

@JohnnyD5dub0 3 ай бұрын

@@pbskater3 I did testing on podiums vs mags. Used a speed trap, ran exact same lines on a perfectly smooth road @2mile all grip course. The mag is larger by 3mm than the podium and uses a 75a vs mags 74a. The podium consistently was faster accelerating, as well as provided better grip. I say that as the mag is offset so less surface from the bearing inward, and yes I tried flipped. Flipped the mags improved but a center set is just so evenly predictable. I ran dozens of runs at 50mph with variances of @1mph. This was backed up by we ran a race on the same course, I ran podiums and gave a fresh set to another rider...we both trapped at 50mph and 49mph so it was not just my riding. The mags may have just a bit more height, but the 2mm wider causes more drag...and have less grip unflipped. The mags are stupid expensive, so you can get 2 -2.5 sets of podiums for the same price. As Zach has always been tight with Madrid, and there is a connection between Madrid and Muirskate (old Muir) from what I understand....I really wonder if Venom and Podiums are the same compound. Just my opinion though, so it may be trash brother!!

@owencampbell777 3 ай бұрын

Spiritually, I agree

@RatBürgerSk8 3 ай бұрын

The much cheaper cost in itself could be a great benefit to a racer. If you've only got the budget for maybe 1 set of freshie mags (or other $100 wheels) for a race, having an additional fresh set to use for later heats could help tremendously.
