The packaging is very Australian. We drink a lot of flavoured milk drinks like choc milk, iced coffee etc from cartons like that.

[@royalwithcheese1768]

Have seen them at Rampant skate shop. Was not sure how well they were made.

[@ichista]

They are the owners brand he's a legend and wouldn't put out crap

[@davequist7710]

Best wheel profile and size. It wears into a nice rounded 56mm. I have the mushroom buddies.

[@SherLock55]

I still have myself a brand new set of Cozmo street series wheels in the packet never touched from the late 90's, can't bring myself to run them.

[@jacobpaint]

You should have just come to Australia and gotten them direct from the manufacturer. I guess it would take some adjustment to use the progressive lenses, if it’s workable. You’ve been skating for so long and developed instinctive ways of looking that you wouldn’t even be aware of. Even as your vision gradually lost focus you probably would have adapted to that until you couldn’t ignore it anymore and then wearing normal glasses would have been an adjustment - if you started wearing glasses after you started skating. Maybe having a more mild prescription in the bottom half would help you to adjust, whether it would be of any functional use or not.

[@MephistoRolling]

I had no idea we were known for wheels

[@RicardoLino]

COZMO wheels ;)

[@kevincollins8620]

​@@RicardoLinoI was just going to say like 20 years ago Aus was totally known for wheels if you were a blading head back then.

[@staxlhax1849]

Just bought a full set, waiting on new frames to go with them. Have no doubt they’ll be awesome. Shout out to Mike at Rampant skate shop.

[@rampantskateshopaustralia]

Cheers homie 🙌🏻

[@darren6762]

Do you need glasses for reading or distance??? I need both but for blading I got distance contact lenses and absolutely love them, just a thought👍 loved this vid because I’m from Australia 👍👍👍

[@RicardoLino]

It’s probably the best.. I always used correction /distance glasses but now I. Also need glasses to read 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@MB-fp3sq]

Hola, disculpa que no tiene que ver con el video, pero queria saber si crees que los rollers del decathlon puedan servir para iniciarse una persona de 105kg

[@RicardoLino]

Offcouse , no problem, I was 105kg up until 2 months ago and I have tested their hard boots without having any problems

[@MB-fp3sq]

@@RicardoLino ok, thanks for your response

[@that_which_is_not]

First day I change glasses, even with the same prescription my eye sight is a bit funky for a week or so until they adjust. Give them time, you’ll be reet 👍

[@K_8T]

"I only drink WHEELS (OAK) because I like the taste" 😂

[@aldolega]

If they are indeed the same as the Fifty50/Chroma/etc wheels, they're made by Gyro, in Korea, not in Australia.

[@thatmountain]

I think he means just same profile and hub.

[@aldolega]

@@thatmountain Not sure importing hubs from Korea to Australia would be practical for a small run of wheels, but I guess it's possible.

[@RicardoLino]

Hey hey Al. You are 100% right.. these are made by Gyro. Which also make , the mushroom blading wheels, chrome, 5050, dream, Fr wheels, and so on.. in this video I don’t say the name of the manufacturer or pouring locations but I say these are “the same”… it’s a brand from australia making wheels else where.. a bit like Laurence brands or Poserslide’s.. 🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@longtermsquatter]

​@@RicardoLino Why didn't you state the manufacturer? I don't understand why this information is kept unsaid. Knowing the manufacturer is shared with other brands would be useful to know.

[@Jordan.Skates]

@@RicardoLinoIllusive must be the wheel brand that Law alluded to using molds that 50/50 created and paid for. Gotta love manufacturing!

[@kumbackquatsta]

australia doesn't really make anything anymore, labour is too expensive/unskilled

[@insanogeddon]

Dang thought this was SKATE content, and it is about Fruit Boots .. BAH HUMBUG ; j
