Definitely get the wheels as obstacles can be found and/or made (a well constructed card ramp can last months).

If you are looking for smooth (I.e. A long roll time) then you could always go for a set of Ywheels, dual bearing, super smooth and made out of a great material that is grippy but doesn't ever interfere with your seshing AND they look awesome.

Oaks, on the other hand, are so grippy that in concrete obstacles the angle you land at makes a huge difference as to whether you pull a trick off because you can't really slide them sidewards like you can with most other wheels. The 'Mucho feeling' that Oak are always on about isn't bullshit either, because they are so soft you get much more shock absorbtion on takeoff and landing which feels great! Not a 'beginner' set of wheels though...

Oh yeah, oaks roll like shit. I was shocked at how much they don't roll (especially because I had Ywheels to compare them to). That said I still really rate them, and they are on my main setup.

Nop, y-wheels are Dual bearing, so they do not work with Brt

I have a Yellowood Skully Z3 in the post man, but I found a store locally that sell stuff that'd make ideal coping, and lengths of the angled stuff used on BR ramps, so I think I'm just going to have a bash at making my own ramps.

Why are some saying oaks roll great, and others say they roll like crap?

It's about preference.

People that prefer smooth wheels like Grands or Substance will feel that Oak wheels are really bumpy.
People that doesn't care much about smoothness, but more about other factors such as grip, sound etc. will not notice Oaks being bumpy.

In the end you'll need a set of both Oaks and Grand/Substance/FF/Winkler to be able to compare. Cause it's really a personal choice.

What do you mean deck upgrades, I can only use one deck at a time, I have a YW Z3 on the way, and I have my Ambition, plus another 3 China setups, why would I need more decks? :/

This has already been established, why don't these folks posts get deleted like someone keeps doing to me?

I know I need wheels, this has been mentioned way back in the first page, if folk read the comments then they wouldn't be saying 'deck upgrades'.

Does anyone here use FF Team or Teflon bushes on BRR's?

I bought them because I couldn't get witchcraft bushes, but they're justt o rings, right?

Never tried teflons before but i have used teams on BRR's, they work fine and are decently responsive... however they aren't very durable.

teflons are very very hard and you won't be able to turn easily, note that they are made out of teflon... lol

I got my YW today, I'm not sure I like the shape, the tail looks odd.

And sanding on the nose is pretty rough on one side, but the tail shape is weird, more pointed that round like the nose. sad

Look:

Looks kinda lame, I'm setting it up now to see how it feels.

I wanted a deck that's shaped like a regular skateboard, and the nose sanding and countersinks are shoddy, my China decks are finished better, and that's no joke!!!!

It does look a bit rushed. If you don't like you shouldnt set it up, maybe its possible to return it.

Too late, tape is on and I'm filing it down.

If I don't like it I'll just see if anyone wants to trade, or I'll sell it.
