If these work well I need them to get around this crusty ass city. Maybe I won’t be out of energy by the time I get to the spot
-
great idea. would use those
-
They probably wouldn't work with my tiny-ass wheels.
-
id love this for filming. i dont have enough room to carry a cruiser, my regular setup plus my camera bag and backpack..
-
Might have to buy three more cock rings and try this out.....
-
how has this not been a thing?

my guess
imagine one of these coming off on a bomb or sketchy part
-
Gotta have them for the exact wheel size and shape you're using. Forget even slightly worn wheels. Still be scared as fuck about them coming off while bombing a hill etc. Not gonna work.
-
I'd swoop immediately if they are able to address issues like the shape and size of your street wheels and the fact that your street wheels are bound to shrink. Originally was concerned that you couldn't slide on these wheels like some better cruiser wheels unless these are a very good formula, but if you're cruising and really need to bomb a big hill and powerslide, you can just take them off.
-
I'd swoop immediately if
too big
too tall
too wheelbite
too soft
swap a second set of wheels in stead

Who wants to take their chances and post a video of them bombing hills with these when they come out?

That’s Kenny Anderson by the way if any of yall don’t have IG

The only valid one of those concerns is the wheelbite. No shit cruiser wheels are going to be bigger and softer than normal wheels. Enjoy swapping out wheels potentially multiple times a day, especially you've got worn axles/nuts.

Haha
What a great idea. I can’t believe no one has thought this up before. It seems so obvious now that I see them.
-
Brian brown thought of this, made samples and got a patent. I really hope he is getting money over this.

haha imagine how we'd all react if this was the revive dudes posting this?
i have a big feeling my reaction is more posotive accepting that Kenny Anderson posted this
-
Seriously, what if your street wheels wear down AT ALL. How am I supposed to trust the lateral stability of this smooshy wheel condom that is easy enough to take off with your hand? This is a kooky idea. Up there with zip off pantshorts, Z-Rollers, and Tracker's floating axels and "e-clips" from the early 90's.

too wheelbite
-
No way Eh , These are great.
-
I can't see them staying on that well either....might be a good idea so you don't need a filmer set up but for cruising you want to powerslide....
-

kenny stole it from Brian because he is a fuck
-
these would be great as long as you don't turn or powerslide #gamechanger

Interesting point, nice introspection.

don’t need to worry about powerslides if you can’t powerslide

I would still keep my real cruiser for if I’m just going to the store and have no intention of doing tricks. But I’m old and injured and skating around NYC often wastes a lot of precious energy before even getting to the spot. Much less energy wasted when I’m on the cruiser so I would love these if they work.
I went home to Boston and skated borrowing my parents car… I forgot what it’s like to skate with a car, was kind of amazing. Just pull up to the spot, park, skate fresh as a daisy. Get kicked out, drive to the next one.
-
These would be sick for casual use like filming and cruising between spots without the need to carry an other board setup. I wouldn't trust them with life threatening shit like bombing big hills. I wonder how they're gonna work when the main wheel starts wearing down and these attachments don't fit snug anymore?
I'll definitely buy a set if/ when they're for sale though
-
i'd rather just carry a set of cruiser wheels with bearings in them and swap them whenever i want to (well i actually used to do that but it felt kinda unnecessary), would be a lot safer
-
nah

I'd do it, but it has to be a straight hill with a lot of plain space ahead and no cars, can't risk bombing a hill with wheels that don't slide.
