What's your experience?
i have just over 3200 miles on my rollerbones turbos 80's. 20-30 miles of asphalt trails a day, derby practice 3 times a week, and flatland and vert at the skate park once or twice a week. i run a set of 88a's at derby. but my 80's have been FANTASTIC. i was running a vintage outdoor wheel before, and have tried hundreds of different wheels in my 30 years in skating. the Roller Bones Turbos are the BEST wheel i have ever skated, with more grip than i need, yet so much roll they are crazy fast. and SMOOTH, like a lathed wheel. my 80's still have some grooves! i can not say enough good things about these wheels. i only wish i had every duro, well not the 101's, i like my fillings.

I should add to my earlier message today that I tried 92A red-anondized demo Turbos...
Thanks!

Hi, I was able to try a set of demo Turbos that you sent a friend of mine, James Golly in Yreka, CA, and wanted to let you know that you have another fan. I used them on slippery polished concrete floor of my team's venue (SIS-Q Rollerz), and on our local city rink's (Roller Odyssey) epoxy-coated floor and just wanted to say that for my weight of 130lbs, the combination of grip/roll is better than Atom's equivalent hardness strokers/lowboys, and Suregrip Fugitives 93A.

I bought a set of your Turbo wheels in 85a a few days ago. I tried them at the rink last night on our sport court track. I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed skating on these wheels. It usually takes some time to get used to new wheels. I was completely comfortable on the turbos right away. I didn't think that the aluminum hubs would make much of a difference for me since I only weigh about 145 pounds. They feel like harder wheels but grip like soft ones. I am in love with the performance of the turbos! So happy that I bought them. These are the perfect derby wheels for me!

Hi there! I don't know if you (or the individual from your organization who attended RollerCon) remembers me but you generously provided me with a demo set of Turbo 85a's and a bearing popper to test out. I happen to be the pad girl for Pro-designed (www.pro-designed.com) and so I am accustomed to product testing and promoting products virally. I was HUGELY impressed by your wheels' performance on ALL surfaces, and they even out-performed my Jukes, my former Jesus-wheel (pardon the terminology), much as you promised. I would like to write a testimonial for you but because I have so many positive things to say you can let me know what specifically you're looking for- a technical bare bones breakdown of performance on surfaces, a product comparison of Atom vs. Rollerbones, a glossy overview including appearance, weight, etc.... There are so many directions I could go with this.

I bought these wheels last year, wasn't too sure about them,so here is my opinion: the first time I ran them (in the rink on hardwood floors) they were kinda slippery,when i ran them the second time,they were much better I guess we have to break in the wheel! the third time and so on they were great-no complaints,grip was good for the hardness,they glide good-just recommend a good bearing, as mine are ancient.
