I got the wheels this morning.It was a gift from Jarred(the owner of Northwoods).
The wheels looks so good and it was the clear wheels.The wheels roles realy smooth and is fast.
Probably one of the best wheels I have ever tried I will be making a fully detailed review within this week.



You can purchase these wheels with a Northwoods deck on www.northwoodsfbs.com or http://www.northwoodsfb.com/Official_Website/Index.html

Sounds legit.

FBHQ is starting to turn into FFI quickly.

This is what I personally want to avoid.

FBHQ has it's own unique flavour and feeling and I don't want it to be lost by people squabbling over stupid shit that doesn't really matter.

Yes we all have our own opinions but sometimes it really isn't the greatest thing to voice them. (Especially when everyone knows how you feel about something.)

Next person to troll this thread gets a one day ban.

Final time I'm going to say anything.

I will never buy a clear color wheel thats not a Substance. But thats just me.

They do look pretty tight.

Sorry but, fbhq is NOT turning into ffi.
And yeah the wheels look decent, just I don't want to support companies such as zshred.

PLZ SAI ITZ TRU

Wheels look nice, though I don't support companies like Z Shred anymore after the owner decided to drop the whole original team for no reason.

Zshred make me go ewwy.

I have been looking for some backless transparent Substances but they haven't done those in a while, they're all centralised now.

There was another company that did do backless transparent wheels for a fair price but I can't remember the name now. It was US-based and they had decks and wheels.

I'm glad to see that there are a few people that share the same feelings. Even opinions about a product being terrible are needed and respected by many, but I hate to see people blow it out of proportion.

Anyway, back on topic. I'm not saying this because I am sponsored by Northwoods, but I really like these wheels, regardless of what anyone says. Z-shred new eras were my personal preference way before I got involved with the community at all. I haven't figured out whether people refuse to buy them because of a lack of support from Z-shred regarding the fingerboard scene, or if they really just suck compared to others. I haven't tried many wheels, but out of what I have tried, I like these. I don't really look at who is supporting what. I fingerboard for the fun of it. If I pay for good wheels and I receive good wheels, I'm gonna be satisfied. Isn't this what it's all about? The love of the sport?
Anyway, I love these wheels. 'nuff said.

Off topic:

I almost bought a Z-Shred Copper Metal Bottom complete with the Frost New Era wheels for 2,400 Php. I was young and didn't know how to negotiate yet. I ended up bogusing the guy by accident.

Then I realized I could buy a local deck from a local brand, and order bearings wheels and TD Wides.

I bought my current setup for 800 Php.

On Topic:

This great guy from the local scene used to think Z-Shred wheels were the best until he found out that he could buy from No Comply for a better and slightly more expensive product. Just saying.

Handy wheels? Ronisha used to ride for them. Google it.

impressive. a z shred discussion that hasn't gone shitstorm.

the wheels actually dont look bad but then again you cant judge it's performance by how they look. tbh the wheels industry has been monopolized by companies like flatface substance winkler and the big guys. smaller companies never make it because they have nothing to offer over the big guys.
