Fan jets were the wheels to have in the 80s

Excellent review! I couldn't agree with you more, when it comes to Scott Corey's urethane. I missed out on the Wicked Scotts but I was able to pick up a very similar shaped hub, made by Jim Garrett, wrapped in Corey urethane. I just started skating again recently. I skated a lot in the 90's and loved the Wicked Lips wheels. I grew up in Tulsa so these were the obvious favorite among all the serious skaters. We also rode Hyper Cannibals a lot. As much as I loved both of those wheels, they're not even close to the feel of the Corey urethane. I've never skated any other wheels that have so much grip at such a high durometer. The breakaway truly is almost telepathic. If I want them to stick, they stick. If I want them to slide, they breakaway with ease. I've been skating my Scotts for about six months and I'm still amazed every time I ride them. To anyone considering a set: If you can get some, get some. "Worth it" is an understatement.

love it mate. A similar thing has been hovering in the back of my mind for a while. So, kudos to you for an awesome video. I have talked to Scott regarding me doing a video of his operation, so hopefully that will be in the works and be a good companion piece to this video. Once again, great job mate. Take care.

Howdy!! Wondering if you can send me a high res pic of the wheel lineup from Wicked. I am trying to track down the wheels I had on my childhood skates. I remember them having wicked in them and having a red hue. I thought they had witch in the title but this video is the closest I've gotten with my research to finding them. Anyway you could help me out?

@seanfried558311 ай бұрын
Serious question, how do you feel about doing those lip moves with such fancy wheels? I stopped doing that because I was beating up my fanjets... I started saving those just for racing. I am constantly torn between wanting to SKATE my wheels like you are doing here verse keeping them nice for speed sessions. I guess the answer is to just buy cheaper wheels, but I love skating on really good wheels.

Just a question. I am just getting back into jam skate and shuffle skating. I picked up a pair of R3 and already replaced the bearings with Swiss and wheels are cannibals. What plate would be good for this skate until I want to upgrade the boot down the road?

was wondering if you can help me? Im going for speed, I tried radar halos 99A and they slipped too much indoors, then I tried a 95A and its alittle better but was going to try a 92 A (roller bones turbo) do you think its too soft for speed?
@rollerskateuniverse6763 Жыл бұрын
I'd go for 94 if possible, be careful though, the turbos have been known to have tire and hub separation issues
@2ndAveScents7 ай бұрын
I have the Turbo in 94a and they are great albeit I would probably go for one click softer next time to avoid some of the break in before you get to max grip. I’ve got less than 6 hours of hard skating on mine but they are very good responsive and smooth wheels that feel very predictable and accurately rated in durometer. The quality of the finish on the hubs and the amount of air bubbles in the urethane is worse than I would expect for a 190 dollar set of wheels though and I think next time I’ll be going back to Sure Grip for either the Monza or equivalent even though they are much heavier

You have a better chance at hitting the lottery than getting a set of Corey’s!! And to make it worse you have the wheel hoarders who don’t have anything else to do but try to get multiple sets of the same wheel just to let them collect dust I never knew skate wheels are like the sneaker market!! I think it lame why not let everybody try to get a pair. Then when they get the wheels they post their entire collection like dude why do you have 5 sets of the same wheel??
@jaysfishandwhips13289 ай бұрын
People like that love to show off what they have all while demonstrating what they don't have... And they have the nerve to keep the newer ones and sell away their older sets for damn near the price of new if not more in some cases so they can go ahead and request a pre order from Scott for more new ones since he only takes requests from the big "names" hebegb isnt any better either. Since his cost more.
