College Wheels

twistedworld - 16-9-2013 at 05:50 PM

I bought an PL Twister II 5.6 R a few months ago and I decided I need some wheels. I can't decide if I want to get into boarding or buggies. If anyone has any good deals on either let me know, I'm a broke college student but I want to get rolling.

I have a PL comp xr+ barrow tires and standard axle. Excellent condition. $350

Sorry Cheezy:P

I'd think that the best idea would be to come to WBB and try out both to get a feel of where you're most comfortable.
Just my $.02.

Cheezy, it's not like you to be speechless:lol:

Seriously though, Twisted, a trip to Wildwood next month will put you together with some of the best riders/flyers I know. There's lots to be learned, and someone always has available equipment they're willing to let others try. (And if not, hey, it's still one of the best flying areas I know!) Bring your brain bucket!

I've met you...you have no cents...:moon:

but seriously if you made it to wildwood you would be able to try out these things & learn a ton about different kites, boards, buggies and any other equipment you need....you can't put a price on that....then when you do buy...you at least know you purchased the right thing the 1st time around...hope to see you there...and yes bring a helmet!

Thanks for all of the advice. I'm going to try to get there but I think I have a cross country meet on that Saturday. Hopefully I'll be able to come for Sunday.

These are garbage, but they'll do in a pinch :).
