otang baluts

heyy guys im gonna tell you about the orangatang baluts.

the balut is a freeride/ free style wheel.
because of its large holo core it makes it really light for your freestyle stuff .. EG; kickflips , shuvits bigspins etc..

i have been riding these wheels for about a month and i love them.. i have the 80a version (orange) and i have almost cored one :)

as normal for orangatang the durometers are 80a orange, 84a purple and 86a yellow.
this wheel has a new formula so dont be fooled by its large core and think that it will wear in really fast.. the new formula gives it a longer lasting life and a very nice smooth predictable slide.

the are 72.5 by 44mm and have a contact patch of 35mm. they are senterset so you can flip them them when they start to wear :)
















thanks for reading my review on the otang baluts.. remeber always wear your helmet and skate safe :)

2012 lanyachtz wolfshark

heyy guy im gonna do a review on the 2012 landyachtz wolfshark..

the wolfshark is a top mount speed board made out of canadian maple and features rocker and W concave with a 1.8" micro drop and also has gass pedels on each side..

the board is 37.25" long and 10" wide with a 24 - 29" wheel base.. this board is a great board to have it is stabel has a low amount of flex witch os really nice and confutable under your foot.. the problem with this board is it gets alot of wheel bit with your standered bear 852 trucks and i would not go anything over a 70mm wheel.. the board should be fine with a 1" or 1/2" riser on it..

right now i have the bear 852 trucks with 70mm Otang 4prez and all weather ceramic bearings..
this board is great for bombing hills and also pushing out a massive slide.. is has a sick as graphic of a proper wolf shark with some cliffs behind it and big crashing waves.. the have really improved on alot of things with this board but unfotunatly you still get a fair bit of wheel bite like the original wolfshark..



you can pick up this board from about longboard/skate shop.. ifyou are looking for a really cheap place to buy this board and you are in QLD i would check out http://www.kitesurfaustralia.com.au/..

otang 4prez

heyy guys today im gonna do a review on the otang 4prez

these wheels are a really good all round wheel.. you can use them for down hill, freeriding/freestyle even just cruising around.. they are a very durable wheel.. they do not come pre broken in so if your wanting to get these wheels for sliding you will have to break them in first.. they are a 70mm wheel with a 53mm contact patch.. they come in the diferent duros. 80a 83a and 86a.. i really like these wheels because they are small and you can basicly do anything on them.. they are a squared lip wheel and they are also really good for down hill because they will hug the corner and not slide out as easy witch is a very good thing to have :)

thanks for reading :) umm if you have any requests u would like me to do i will be happy to do it for you can contact me at jlongboards24@gmail.com.. always wear your helmet and skate safe :)

heyy guys today im gonna do a review on the loaded bhangra.. this board is like the ultimate dancing/freeride/freestyle board.. it is 48.5" long by 9.5" width with a 32.75" wheel base.. i love this board. it can do anything. you can dance you can slide you can do basicly anything on this board.. i mean i have seen people board slide and grind on this board so yeah it is sick.. it is made out of bamboo so i has i nice springy feeling to it.. the board has rocker caoncave with a slight "U" bend to it so really confitable under your feet and really locks your foot in well. recomended set up is paris 180s or bear 852 trucks and nothing over 76mm for wheels :)
