If crew want to order stock at trade prices let me know....just been on the phone this morning to the guy
that ships em' into OZ direct from Rainskates themselves.Much cheaper than any online store or shop!!

Here's the list

TSUNAMIS

59mm 85a Orange Formula
59mm 95a Green Formula- new wheel with profile back
65mm 95a Green Formula
65mm 85a Orange Formula


YELLOW 98a Formula Wheels

54mm Mini Bees
59mm Killer Bees
62mm Yellow Jackets
65mm Hornets

Xthane Formula Stinger 2 White Wheels 100a with new rear cut profile {for ease of that cope!}

54mm
59mm killer bee shape
62mm
65mm Avalanche

So that's range and this stuff is the Jiz!

If you are feed up with lack of quality wheels available let me know and i can check price and stock.

To Quote Jimmy; {importer in aust.} " Now lets watch the competition wezzel in and change over to this formula
and make false claims...hahaha"
Rainskates, No big fancy Font Posting, Facts only!! YES SIR









:twisted:

been meaning to reply to this Zig, I'm keen for a set. Just not sure which ones will have to speak to you. I'm currently on 60mm Bowlriders which I like a lot but if the Rainskates are faster I'm keen to try them out.

Yellow jackets are most versatile.

EXCELLENT on concrete, skatelite, ply and steel - day or night.

Stingers are little faster but can't cover all those as well IMO.

Watchin Zig slide and chirp around Vic Park of an evening was enough to convince me to stay with the Yellows.

Order is in Blameless & Carvin' Marvin!!

Whlist Yellow jackets maybe the more versatile, stingers came out of a need for a harder faster version.
Best on a smoother crete, the new white stingers are supposedly flat-spot resistant, with just as good grip
and will slide on demand.

With the new white stingers, while faster, i did a bit of test where during the day @ VP they were fine,
whereas of a night time, yep they were prone to chirpin'.
Promise to be great on a hot Perth summer's day ay!

Sketchy...the old green one's seem to fit in between YJ and the new Xthane Stingers.
Faster than Yellow Jackets,stiil with the same grip and not prone to slide.
Our theory on white wheels still holds true.However, the new white stingers are way better then those death
trap Powell White PF Bowlbombers.How i survived Boyunup.... 07 I'll never know!

Yeah heard about Ocean Grove...Marty Kent says its a really fast bowl but watch out for drop in's!
Meanwhile, Jimmy of Rainskates fame tells me there building an even bigger park only 10km away
at Barwon Heads that may have cradle!

Will this be a September to remember?

:D

No worries Zig , i'll stick (pun) with the green ones at the moment.

September to remember?.....as far as the footy goes......it goes without saying. :lol:

Working 50 hour weeks at the mo.....Bonnie due in 3 weeks.....Dunno.......It may be an October to rockober......

Jeepers another cradle ey?.....How many do you need?.......3......4...?????
I reckon 2 is enough.......Another Franga sized bowl would be better. :roll:

I'll be working a couple of days in Neerim next week...110k's out of Melb...I never been there so i googled it...and pissed myself.....8 foot , pool coping......Ha......never even knew it existed!!!!!!!!

Barwon Heads won't start to the end of January 09 due to council politics.
