Heat, 4×4 and Mindgame Wheels : new designs
Heat wheels :
Jeff Stockwell, Oli Short, Tory Treseder and Erik Bailey pro wheels.
4×4 wheels :
Brian Shima and Chris Haffey pro wheels.
Mindgame wheels :
Billy O’neil and Dustin Latimer pro wheels.
It seems that the Latimer ed7 will be the last Dustin Latimer wheels, who will stop being pro after this year.
Thanks to Ryan Loewy

i agree. All those wheels have really good graphics. I really like the patterns on the heat wheels.

He´s been my favourite skater since I saw him on VG6 in his shared profile with Kevin Gillan…wow…sure we won´t lose him, but it sucks that he´s step by step moving out of the active-pro circle…anyways he´ll always be the man if it comes to style and creativity….don´t know anyone who could ever reach him…

…and DL has never been a typical pro… he was always more of an undefineable power… Latimer will always be a unique element in rolling…

the heat and shima are amazing, i’m really feeling animal prints at the moment, already pre-ordered the stockwells :)

latimers wheels are hot

did the 4×4 wheels change?? they have black cores now…
and wonder why HEAT wheels have the same exact sizes and hardness. I guess they are cutting expenses, huh?
I guess not many skaters care about hardness between 88a and 89a or whatever. I dont…

the new haffeys are pretty sick
shame to hear that Latimer is stepping down from being pro he has been a big influence on me and they way i have skated
also seeing the tricks he does makes you look at things which you didn’t think were skateable with a different perspective and realise there is a trick that could be done on that
i am gonna get some of the new latimer wheels i really like the design and i love mindgames
i hope Latimer doesn’t totally dissapear from rolling because that would be a real shame
Latimer is if you ask me a GOD of the rollerblading world

No, I don’t think they are cutting expenses, but they are getting with the trend. Freestyle is in, so I guess they are making bigger wheels to accommodate freestyle frames. Anyhow, that is my guess.

the heat wheels are incredibly hot. i think mindgame is falling off though, shanes probably reading adbusters anti-design book too much.

heats are photoshopped, they’re no longer being poured by eulogy and thus will have a different core.

Dolega knows everything.

latimer is number 1 after arlo better that any other 540 chachacha grind skater …

No way that mindgame is falling off. Not as many ride the wheels anymore. Because they are expensive, and most of us go through wheels too fast for paying $25 a set. But they still make alot of $$$money$$ from their clothing. Alot of us still buy the clothes(especially me).They also make those titanium bearings, which I imagine makes profit too.(because the bearings work good and are cheap like craps bearings). peace

Their team is soo sick nasty too. Definately not falling off.

I realize that you meant the designs are getting lame. But, I wanted too list off the things I like about mindgame.(yeah, thats my excuse for getting it mixed up the first time around lol.) I guess you are a little right about the designs. I still like most of them, but a few are kinda dumb. And I love the lack of color. Its not flashy, but is still cool and Sticks us out to fellow rollers. Nobody else can tell what black, white and grey clothes wiyh an M logo means.(except the shirt that says “blader “on it). I hope they put just a tiny bit of color into designs one day.( like a red outline around some sick design. that would be sweet).But don’t over do it. Keep things simple, it works.
