okay so i am deciding what to get Orangatangs or Big Zigs, i pretty much only Downhill but i was thinking of getting the Orangatangs cause of what i have seen there prettty fast and if i was making a turn i could drift but i dont know if they drift alot or not. Also should i get the 4 Prez or In Heats if i do get Orangatangs? i will decide by your comments.

i have the 4 prez on my drop through speedboard, and they are dope. I like them a bit more than bigzigs for my riding style because i like to do alot of pendies and such, and the otangs just felt smoother and with a more consistent and controlled slide/drift. IMO i think that the reflex formula is a bit grippier than the`orangatang formula when the wheels a broken in.

I am never going to buy wheels with reflex formula thane again. I love Orangatang/Earthwing Superball urethane so much more. The thane actualy flexes into turns which just feels so much nicer, gives a smoother ride and makes pumping easier. The grip difference is very small and if you are good enough you should be able to make them grip when you want to and slide when you need them to.

I also like how the wheels slide smoothly and they don't have the high amount of friction while sliding that reflex formula does. What I mean by this is that when reflex wheels slide they feel like all they want to do is grip back up as fast as they can where as orangatangs are ok with being sideways for them pendys, standies, or any other sliding and they don't just want to grip back up as fast as they can.

Post a quick comment.
