You're on the precipice; take a step back and you'll be safe. Step forward and you'll plummet into financial ruin and an unhealthy obsession with ebay watch lists! |

yeah i took a step back and chilled. i can't get caught up in that madness....just yet.
anyhow, i opted to purchase from oldschoolskaters.net because they offered free shipping. i went ahead with the zip zigger nano in orange. i really wanted the red one cause everyone knows red goes faster but they were sold out.
i'll be sure to post a pic of the complete after i receive it and thanks to everyone for your help. 
on a sidenote:
if the owner of that site lurks here, heres some advice...
please don't show pics of the products you don't have in stock.
it sucks seeing what "you could've had" you know what i mean? just show what you're selling instead of making your customers click page after page looking at items that aren't even available. |

i was just getting fustrated while trying to pick out some wheels. they have so many pictured but so few that are actually available for purchase. put it this way, i wasted some 30 minutes or so picking out some wheels i probably won't even like. 
i really wanted the large/soft cadillac wheels but settled for the smaller/harder ones because i got tired of looking. i guess thats not necessarily a bad thing for a retail website.  |

ZipZingers rule. Throw some 4.3 Bennetts on it and some 62mm Alligators.

Domitionx is a member here. He usually gets stock like the next day�not worth pulling the product when it's on the way. |

whats a 4.3 bennett? i'm assumming they're trucks but i had some small fury trucks(4.5 inch) that i've been sitting on and using them for the zinger.
and dang! i wish i new this beforehand, i would've contacted him directly through here and asked about the softer/bigger cadillacs. i wouldn't have minded waiting. next time i guess.
in any case, if i hate them i'll just sell them or put them on my custom 2x4 board....i'll post a pic of this DIY POS when the zinger get here(monday). |

My company makes 4 different sized locker boards. For there size being 7.5, I recommend Grind Kings. For wheels either the clear Krypto's Impulse or Bert's Retro's. Both are a great wheels and the Berts a tad stickier.
Either one of the wheel set ups plus the trucks are a good set up. I ride my locker board every day and the trucks with a guy my size and weight they hold up pretty good going off curbs and carving.
The set up is also economical if you try the Impulses with the Grind Kings.
This way I have about 4 locker boards of various paint jobs, lengths and wheel set ups. |

Forget the Caddilacs, get Alligators.

| Since we're on the topic, can you tell me the difference between the clear and regular Alligators? I'm totally loving the clear green! Considering the others as well. (as if i don't have enough wheels already...) |
