Has anyone tried "powerflex gumball" wheels? New wheel venture involving Jim Gray who did formula one. They're hard on the outside with a softer mini core.

Interesting. Dual durometer / cored wheels don't seem like they are really a thing anymore, although Ricta has the Chrome Cores and Speedlines, and Orbs seems to be picking up where Autobahn left off.
Powerflex are made in the California. I'm guessing Aend?

And on their IG, it looks like they also make a wheel with a core in 70D, which makes it harder than the outer thane.

Inner core 55d (whatever the fuck that means) and outer 83 or 84 b from what I've read from sources.

Jim Gray is a massive kook.

Yah I guess. I remember his pro career lacking some luster and acme was not so bad but not that exciting. But pretty recently the gonz posted some footy of Jim skating the hell bow ramp in 89 or 90 and he's ripping kinda. You should check it out.

Do you remember a few years back when he wanted to fight Grosso over the commentary at the Vans pool party? Grosso said he looked like katelyn jenner haha. He had an instagram meltdown, challenged him to a boxing match and slalom contest lmao.
