what do you guys think of the newest product thats gonna drop from flatface? i think they are gonna sell out just cause of the flatface fan-boyness. then there gonna be everywhere for re sale, or they will fail horribly and like, be softer than t's

why such cynical and negative thoughts?

I think they look epic. White outer with an A material inner would be epic - only thing putting me off instantly waving a 'SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY' flag is that I want to know if they're bigger than standard FF brr ed wheels - because I love the smallness of the standard ones.

I don't get why they'd fail at all. Or why people would instantly resell them. Admittedly the last innovation FF dropped didn't fair so well (the ceramics), but I don't see what can go wrong on these other than the wheel bits slipping apart. BUT mike has a) already done dual duros years ago which didn't die, and b) clearly put a lot of thought and planning into these. Plus the technology put into wheels has gone up a lot since the days of G6s being new.

I think the gap between the inner and outer parts makes them look half-assed..

that^^^ i didnt mean to be negative, they just look likke they may fail easy. im gonna test a set tho

Dude, they look great and they fit with a craze of pool decks and cruisers. Innovation is awesome, and I for one am a massive fan of the T Materials.

Gaps? I confused

But I think they're gonna be pretty cool. I mean, I don't expect them to sell out faster than blosoms on fingersized, but I do think they're gonna be popular. And even more popular if he doesn't make them like, $50 a set and makes a huge plethora of colors.

^looks like prototypes to me.

I think their gonna be hella expensive

Oh, I think the "gap" you're thinking of is just that the inner material is shorter than the outer material...? I think its safe to say that mike is a bit of a perfectionist and that he wouldnt release the wheels if the two materials weren't completely tight

They look awesome, would love some with teal core and white outer! Just hope there's no problem with the outer slipping off the core.

i have a right to be suspicious of the quality untill proven otherwise

whats a dp?

what makes these wheels "dual durometer"? is it the combination of bearings and the actual compound the wheels are made of?

Oooh I zoomed on my cell , I see what you mean Mikkel.
The idea is cool for the two tone colors , but I dont really like any of the ff colors
I want to see some ricta crystals

^lol they look rad, as of quality they look alright
the fact that I haven't seen Mike riding these wheels in his videos is kinda suspicious tho

In this case it is a wheel with a hard inner material and softer outer material surrounding. The inner material can (or should) be designed in a way that keeps the softer outer material in place if constructed correctly. You can see this spesific design very clearly if you take a look at clear dual durometer skateboard wheels.

These PIG cruiser wheels I got on my cruiser skateboard has this design. It makes it possible to use super grippy and soft wheels that stays put on the bearings because of the harder inner material. Its awesome..

They should make these with the t material on the outer side and the x material on the inside.
That would be amazing

thanks for the explanation, Bakko. Fascinating.

I think im gonna get these. The only reason my t's dont work is because of defect trucks. Mike has some awesome innovations and i trust in some cool soft wheels.

Try Nollie wheels? I think they have some that looks like Ricta Crystals. I don't remember if they're bearing wheels or not, though.

white outter with black inner, and im not talking about my recent porn watches.
