Alright, I'm in the market for some new wheels!

I've enjoyed the Vegas, but I've worn them down enough that they are moving around at the mounting points (wheel moves 1/8th of an inch).

I have a crossair set to use, but my pumps don't fit in the spokes so I must always hit the gas station to air up.

So, I pose the question to you all!
Should I get some new GI parts, like vegas or terraintula?
Should I switch to MBS components?
Should I just jump up to a whole new deck?

Give me your advice!

I'm open to ideas, any ideas, but obviously lower-priced ideas are preferred!

i saw some trampa's wheels at wild wood buggy bash E .C .K. S.if i had the cash i would get them ,much better than my mbs's.

Upgrade the whole thing and get a Flexboardz Haize :embarrased: Definately not the cheap option though. Awesome that you get that much riding in that you wore them out. I would guess if you liked the Vegas wheels and can still get them that is your second best option. :D

Edit: I didn't see the poll at first. You must be thinking about it. Check it out

TRAMPA BABY!!! Get some Superstars!

terrainutas , no! the bearing liner is NOT for kiting. crossairs are fine. use the vegas as back up.

if you cruise more than air ...flxbz . MORE TERRAIN QPTIONS and ridiculous stablity at buggy-like speeds. crazy grip! after working through this board for a soild 20 hours it makes a smaller freestyle board feel like a toy and slippery.

a springy fresh deck if freestyle is advancing for you. i like the maple pop, synthetic stuff great for lighter guys, seems a little soft for bigger guys. matter of taste really.

the flxbz is like machine... very smooth, ready for giant concrete wave.

me= 6'1" 180-190 lbs. Wanting to progress a lot this summer, trying to ride as much as possible. Finally landing and rolling away from most of my jumps(hard to progress with nobody to teach you anything..you can only learn so much from CTB on youtube!) Not interested in wakestyle handlepasses or board-offs. Want nothing more than big air and frontroll/backroll w/grab.

:dunno:

Don't want to spend more on a deck than I've spent on any of my kites, so trying to keep price under $400.

More suggestions?
Heck, I nearly bought some of the GI's that have been for sale up here lately just for a wheelset & parts, but that's not the brightest idea, to spend a couple hundred on the same items that are wearing out on me.

Boo on the trampa shack selling whole setups or just decks, no possibility to buy just trucks or wheels from them, that's surprising and unfortunate.

I'm loving my T2 tires.... I ride mostly hard-pack sand but I can sneak much higher into the soft stuff with these bigger 9in tires..

Uh, the fact that you can buy parts from ECKS doesn't change the fact that trampashack (the supposed US retailer) doesn't sell the parts I'm looking for....

And while ECKS might have sold you the parts at some time in the past, they don't have anything at all listed on their site for mountain boards of any variety.

TRAMPASHACK is not the only source of TRAMPA gear. call ECKS , they can get whatever you want.

I'll have to drop them a line/ring them during business hours, thank you for the suggestion!

crossairs are the ticket , you have them. you'll still be on some gear and used units will pop up.

GI parts access is not a growing area. i may have enuff for another season, but thats limited.

I love my twistars.... super light, easy to take apart. And as far as style IMHO they look the best and I think they have the most options. As far as the whole flexiboard goes.... I've never tried one, but a lot of my style requires that I DON'T have a ton of grip. With slides, riding rockstar etc. I want something that can get me upwind, but I don't want too much traction.
