These wheels are complete trash. My core split in two after only a month or so of very light cruising, now it makes this horrible sound when I ride them because the whole wheel is actually deforming. It sucks.

Does anybody have any idea of how I would get my money back? I mean I paid 30 something for them and they were shit, c'mon Deluxe!

Weiner board is sick! I want one. Wish it was a little wider though. I don't want my cruiser to be the same size as my real set up.
i saw my grandma bail off a 4 set once in my house and she even got up and came to red lobster after.

Vu zip-zinger shape, Independent 129's, Spitfire Classics 55mm 80D's. Bones Swiss. So fun. Truck width/height hasn't been an issue at all so far

Start with a bigger shape than you think, that way if you fuck it up, you can sand it down.
Because you can't kill and idea, and we will not be ruled!

the visuals are also mad visual yo

Thats sick. My little cruiser does not see much action beyond carving around. Trucks are very loose and the board is very small. Fun combination, but dangerous.

They do suck. I have the 55mm ones and they feel really awful.

YEah I had that happen to me when I got the S4 spitfire wheels. Skated them for three days and the core slipped out. But Damon is a nice guy, he would probably give you a new set of wheels.

Yeah. I had those blue ZipZinger wheels, they were really, really bad and slow. Whoever thinks about buying ZipZinger wheels should also consider some Slow Juan bearings to go with it.

I changed the Zingers for some Ricta Clouds, such a big difference it's unreal. I didn't change the bearings so it definitely were the wheels. Fuck those expensive ass ZipZinger pieces of shit.

I went shopping for a cruiser last week and found some really sick Alva's, Dogtowns and Z-flex's. They were just a little expensive for me and my limited budget. €150-€260 is too much for a board to just roll around on.
I'll buy one in the near future though, when I can work.

Just set this up and taking it out tonight...so stoked. I haven't been this stoked about going skating since I set my Grigley up back in...'89? '90? Yeah, I'm getting old. Bummed to see all the bad reviews of these Zip Zinger 65mm's, but I'm going to give 'em a shot. Love the way they make this board look like a Tonka truck. Indy 149's on this thing too. Thanks to this thread, too, for waking me up to the idea of setting up a cruiser...lost most my tricks some time ago but have still been chasing that dragon and hurting myself along the way. Time to kick back and just ride.

haha...yeah, I know. It's also been a long time since I've gripped a board. Didn't want the shop to do it, though. Wanted to do it myself...just don't really have the proper tools. But yeah...I need a file for that shit. Honestly, I don't really care too much about the grip tape. Guess it shows.

Just fucking with you.  Gripping your own shit is the way to go, jaggedy edges or not.

When I first got my cruiser thats all I skated for months.  I almost forgot how to ollie.

Yeah, this thing IS heavy as hell. Hope I can at least pop up and down curbs...will be way sad if I can't ollie at least a bit.
