ash_96 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2006 I agree with wickedlite, when I used them, I felt like I had no grip. I was playing on a varnished wood floor that is usually very grippy, but I was still sliding all over the place.I'd say save your money and get some better ones, theres usually a reason why things are so cheap! :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Benchboy 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2006 I have bought Red Star Snipers from TGM skateboards before. They were all blems with big air holes in all of them. They were the blue and clear ones. The green ones had lots of little bubbles all throughout.I told TGM and asked for a refund and they basically told me to get stuffed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joker518 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2006 I've found the Snipers to be ideal for wood playing surfaces. I'm 5'11", 200 pounds and I tear up wheels like nobody's business but the Snipers are one of the only performance wheels I've found that can give you a long life on wood. I'm sure its a completely different story on tile...I've actually also bought wheels from TGM before and they ship fast for a great price. They do ship blems though as Benchboy mentioned but I kinda figured that going into the deal. Whatever the compound is, I've personally not had any issues with the air bubbles but they're definitely in the pour. Stay the hell away from NEW Red Star wheels though (C6 Carbon, MX, etc...) as they are garbage and generally will chunk after three skates on ANY surface. I'm fairly sure I've seen other folks mention this in other threads... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JSchultz 25 Report post Posted March 8, 2006 i love em so far used em in a tournament ultra grippy no sliding but the lime green color is really annoying You know, 5 years ago when they first came out, having clear lime green wheels was the coolest thing. Those wheels were hot, hot, hot then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benchboy 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2006 The wheels that TGM sold me have one HUGE air bubble in each wheel, the size of an M&M.The holes went from the hub all the way through the rubber to the outside of the wheel. The holes are directly in the skating surface. And they say the blems will not affect performance at all!They are still sitting in my shed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bobbyorio 0 Report post Posted March 14, 2006 any one used the red star snipers the lime green ones j/w found some on ebay I found them very good on sport court. okay on wood. Tend to wear well but as with most wheels make a big difference if you wipe them down often to get the 'dust' and grime off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
