Orangatang 4President

I just got some Orangatang 4Presidents in the mail.  I usually don't buy wheels this big, but a few things made me want them.  First, Nicole has been riding the Flexdex set up with 70mm wheels almost every time we go out and she says the wheels are one of the things she likes most about it.  So I want another set up with 70mm wheels for me to play with.  Next they were a good deal.  I can't pass up good deals on skate parts weather I need them or not.  Lastly, I really like the Orangatang Nipples bushings, but have never tried their wheels so it was about time.


They came out of the box and two thoughts came to me.  Holy cow these are big and holy cow these are yellow.  I'm not sure what I am going to put these on yet.  I am leaning towards my Nickel.  It has Indy 109's on it right now, and that might be a fun set up to cruise around on.  It has 60mm Penny wheels on it now and I am curious to see how much more speed it will hold with these much bigger wheels on it.
The other thought I had was to put it on a Flexdex Retrodex since I have an extra one around, but that might look way too monster truck like.


Decisions, decisions decisions...

Bennett Trucks


I was switching some trucks around the other day and I realized how much I like these cut down Bennett trucks.  I wanted them on like 3 different boards.  I just got some new wheels, a little taller than what I usually ride and the Bennetts are perfect for them.

Mags kick ass.

New Skyway mags for my Torker from Planet BMX.
They are really cool guys.  If you are into old school BMX, check them out. 

This is not plastic skateboarding related, but it is plastic and I think it looks awesome.
A few more white part and this thing is going to look perfect.
