Almost Cored Review:
I picked up some new EZ Hawgs from @thriftskate_dot_com but Andrew said I should try to core the orange ones first because I was so close. But after 4 hours, they are holding up. It’s kinda cool that they are still fun this close to the core; you can literally see it. They are still very icy, and surprisingly fast at this size. They do have a more aggressive hook up now that they are square lipped, but the kick out is still smooth and easy. Still very resistant to flat spots and ovals I think. I flat spot a lot of wheels. They are the best value in wheels right now, $28.99 because they are so durable, and fun all the way to the core. I’m going to stock up.
@Dan Robinson Hmmm what are you comparing them to when you say they are durable? I remember them being pretty middle of the road on wear.
I've only skated these a little, but I would say that the wear is about halfway between powells <-> thaners on the wheel wear spectrum. For $30 they're not a bad buy at all.
Very good value, and a great slide wheel for someone just starting, but personally, I find them excruciatingly slow, especially with the inevitable flat patches that come with learning how to slide. They slide quite well though
i like these wheels for about $30 they are a fun wheel to either learn to slide on, do big slides, or just do some twirls. These wheels slide for days! you will slide if you precarve hard enough.
compared to the white ez hawgs these are more buttery where the white ez hawgs are chalky and icy
This thane goes, if you like this thane try the chubbies and supremes. Those shapes are fire.
