| ok, so im doing a review on BLUEFLY wides, and BLUEFLY shaped wides. im sure most people know TMG, if you dont he's a cool guy, and the owner of the company that sells the trucks. ok to start the wides. as wides go, they are pretty dang sweet, the price is cheap, considering all the extras you get, kingpins, teflon bushings, allen key, stickers, washers etc. ive seen basicly every set of wides going, and these ones are one of the c=best sets ive seen. these arn't to be confused with 'cheap' china wides you can get from ebay....those are weak, and the axels are wonky, and they are very inconsistent.....these are bang for the buck. everything you need from a quality set of wides. ive had no problems with them so far, and tbh i dont think i will. everything about them is consistent, and the kingpins are really special too.....did i mention they come with pivot cups and in a pro baggy?.....anyway...heres some stock pics how they come... these can be brought directly from TMG, and i know a few stores have them, CREEKWOOD FINGERBOARD STORE being one of the stockists... so heres the next part of the review...this is the part im most interested in, and have been rocking a set of these on one of my main setups for a while now.... the BLUEFLY SHAPED WIDES. these really are the business.....the shape of them is just about as perfect as can be, they shine unlike other shaped wides due to the polish tmg uses....again these come with the awesome kingpins, and really do look the part. imo they are the best shaped wides on the market....recently ive been favouring these over y trucks, due to them being really light, and they perform just as good....i could seriously ride these over brts, and i do. i have a couple 'main beater' fingerboards, and one has brts the other BLUEFLY shaped wides....they take abuse, and havent let me down so far, nor do i expect them too. if your serious about fingerboarding, and want a step up from tuned wides, but cant quite aford brts, or y trucks, i would suggest these trucks all day. they look awesome, and perform great, and they wont break the bank...................these have to be purchased directly from TMG, and are hand shaped on a order by order basis.......what are you waiting for? like i said, TMG is legit, are really cool and easy going, if you want a set, hit him up on pm or email, and get talking to him........heres some more pics.....these pics are directly from tmg, i would take some pics myself, but u all know my camera sucks.....and the shaped wides in this oldschool pic are actually the ones ive got, so yeah........GO GET SOME |

| Yeah they are great! I like them for anything honestly. With my BRR's I am scared to ride with them outside, but when you get these all tuned, dang, they are soooooo good! |

| i forgot to add something about them i think....anyway, how they turn....(by the way im talking about the shaped ones).....i ride my trucks loose, fairly loose, and the bushings do snap back to the centre on these. also because they are shaped, they feel as though they turn more sharply, and they do, also the viton bushings really helps with the trucks snapping back.....like on normal wides the turning isnt too bad, but the trucks only turn up to a certain point, and dont turn no more.....with these shaped you can turn until your wheels touch the deck, like brts, or ys.........and if they turn sweet, when loose, im sure tighter wouldn't be a problem |
