The 88Wheel Co Mavericks have never been skated. Cruised on the Otangs for a bit, but nothing wild. Still have sharp lips and skin on all 4 wheels. Get these out of my skate box because I'll never ...
@Gabriel Fockler same here, got them for my k5 and haven't really felt the need to find something new since. Really enjoying skating it
@Wil White in theory yes you would compress them equally, but over my experience riding I find that the boardside often takes the load. Choosing a good boardside helps you define your center ...
I'll find any excuse to post this photo and shout out Meat Bicycle Skateboards... This is my daily driver at this point - the Meat Grinder. Mine is a bit bigger than the current production Meat Gri...
