| i think he just means uneven, like the holes are slightly off centre making them roll badly and feel like theyre flat spotted. Some people call it flat spots but its not |

| usually if someone has a signature wheel it means they put in input to specialize it to there preference. Ordering something from china and calling it your pro model is a copout. |

indeeed. These ebay wheels are gonna start popping up all over the youtube kiddies part of the fingerboard world, and, its gonna suck a rather large amount. Half the idiots wont even see the point of supporting decent companies any more if these wheels get popular enough =[ |

And why do I even try on this forum if all I get is hate? That wasn't directed at you really. They were saying that Havok should make their own wheels, instead of just buying them and reselling them. And that a signature wheel should be made to the fingerboarder's preference. You didn't really doing anything wrong. |

| mitch, I know you are smarter then you sound. That being said just think why we are hating on havok and the fact that you are so eager to represent them. How many people on this forum, fbc, ffi, work there ass off to make products for us to purchase? People are constantly working on new ideas, ways to be fresh and original. And for the most part its all at the cost of the person making the product. These products take along time to make and with the labour involved even at minimum wage, we are getting a screaming deal on most of this stuff. Companies practically give stuff away (it may not seem cheap to some), and for "havok" to completely go the other direction and order a premade product which they had no part of (other then pressing buy it now on ebay) and then claim that they are somehow havok wheels and sell them to then make a couple bucks profit basically punches all of these other companies in the face (metaphorically speaking). Maybe if havok made a prototype from scratch and sent it to china to be mass produced you might get an ounce of respect from me, but they dont. So if you honestly cannot see why you and havok get "hate" after reading this, then I stand corrected, you are not smarter then you sound. |

Exactly that. Fingerboarding isn't at the stage for ebay companies to come in.. it'd be like, if 20 years ago budget skate companies appeared, skateboarding wouldn't have been able to get to the stable point it got to, so that it wasn't affected by companies like enuff, and infact, as bad as their budget products are, they helped people get into skateboarding. These wheels could be good in like.. 5 years time, but, now, they're just promoting all thats bad with fingerboarding ._. |

| True all this. Buying stuff "hint" is just not cool. Last time I checked, Mike, Todd, Jerome, Martin, and all the other great wheel makers didn't just buy them off ebay. Heck, I bet Havok doesn't even know where to get the right bearings, nor the material! |
