shoes and pegs.....
« on: December 20, 2011, 08:15:44 AM »
i got my last vans half club for almost 3 years....and my flatland skills were not improving at all during this period
yesterday i got my brand new vans half club and found that the grip is so strong...
I have changed every part of the bike, none of them has as much inspire than changing a pair of new shoes....
so thats the question, what are the best shoes and pegs in flatland?
p.s. i am from hong kong, sorry for bad grammar

Tree Balsa pegs are awesome. As for shoes, I love my Nike Delta Force High Tops.

tree pegs grip soooo good as long as they're not the white (only color that was painted instead of anodized)

vulcanised soles tend to be quite strong. if you don't have brakes but have odyssey frequency g tires or similar thread tires such as the comet or contour, then they last a long time

super stoked on Huck Ind. Pegs on the front! (too grippy for the rear end)
also been loving the feeling of Ipath Grasshopper for shoes.  Highly recommended. I have the raw hemp ones and have been working on backwheel stuff lately and ride a hitman silencer, so the dropouts are not too foot/shoe friendly and the shoes have held up really well so far!

I can rip through a sole in a month or two without a brake!
Any recommendations for super heavy duty soles. I have Nike trainers and some etnies arron ross ones I have yet to use. I can't seem to find anything that can last.

I use Orchids or Lotek. Running KHE Alchemy pegs and the Lotek Mikes I have works best with them.
