Review on 🦈 Revolutionary Shark Wheel Skating Wheels for Longboarding - Sidewinder 70mm 78a - High-Performance Shark Longboarding Wheels by Eddie Orrell

Revainrating 4 out of 5

First Impressions

Well first of all my wheels weren't supposed to arrive until Monday the 5th, I got them on Saturday the 3rd! Crazy bonus points, actually I started with 3 stars, I will upgrade it to 4 for the fast shipping. Now I was pretty sure I ordered the yellow "amber" set, I got purple which was the first color I looked at. Uh yellow would go well with my yellow camps but purple is my favorite color so it's not that big of a deal and honestly it could have been my fault or Revane's fault. with protrusions or the like on the inner wall is a bit off-putting. This makes a very mean/aggressive/cool looking wheel and destroys it. For example, when they see a handsome man with a hard body, they smile and their teeth look like those of a homeless junkie who hasn't brushed his teeth since he was 4 years old. I installed it last night and drove it a bit. It's too early to tell, will need at least a few days to ride them and try out some little rocks and such to see if they do what they're supposed to. Driving down my road and down the hill they felt great with good grip and response. The packaging says they offer more speed. Well last night it took me 3 extra pushes to get down the hill. I attributed it to the bearings I bought so I think to test it I need to put new bearings in my old wheels and compare my old bearings in these wheels. Because something really slowed me down. So I'll have to update later when I have a better chance of getting to know them and testing this claim. First Impression: Nice colors, interesting design, but I need a "more finished" look. The grip is good and the ride is smooth but I'm not sure if that helps or hinders the speed.
