pretty awesome wheels. super buttery, they dont ice out too much. only downside is that they're sideset so they cone really easilly. once you break them in they tend to flatspot too. overall great wheels.
not bad
victor hansen
really nice wheels and good for sliding but flat spot easily in about a week or less depending on how good you are.

question
OJ
i don't slide or anything that much, but i like to cruise/carve and freeride, would these be good. i just got into boarding and do that many tricks, so i was wondering what causes flat spots and coneing. would it happen if i just used these to cruise/carve

These wheels are amazing! Buy them like no joke they are great for everything especially sliding. It doesn't take long to break them in and they thane almost instantly. Love these wheels and they are well worth buying!

I got 78a. Super smoove, look sick, and poop thane. Price is great and I would say that you should get yourself a set.
Fantastic!
SoloBoards
Really good for the all around rider! the 78a is the one that i got and really like! brilliant for downhill but also give you a fantastic controlled slide. strongly recommend them.

TheFamilyLB
These wheels are perfect if you're looking to do colemans hardsides heelsides stealfish or any other slide. the slide smooth once broken in and only takes a day or two to break in. All in all perfect wheels for any type of riding.

I got these wheels with my Landyachtz Time Machine they are 84a once i got the motion and form of sliding it was easy from there on. these wheels are amazing and i love them!!! Abec is the best
the best wheels ever
Sam
I bought 78a flashbacks at a really small local skate shop about 2 years ago, now out of business :/, and i had never heard of abec11 but they looked cool and the guy working there was really helpful recommending these because i was just getting into longboarding. They were all he hyped them up to be and more. They had the best traction like they literally gripped the ground i could turn so hard w/o my board slipping out from under me and they rolled over everything it blew my mind. I could actually carve down hills easily with these and my new trucks, so much easier than my old mini board. Now they are completely coned and more slippery and dont ride as well but thats expected. My friend recommended buying stuff on this site to me over retail and I will probably try it cause prices here are a lil better than at the local shops. He also recommended orangatangs over these but ima stick with abec11. Bottom line is they are great for cruising, carving, sliding or whatever else you do they are bomb af.
great slide
bryan
i got the 76a and i'm barely starting to get into slides with these wheels, been riding them for almost 3 months and are coning already, the do leave thane lines at the right speed, and also at the right speed they are real buttery, i would definetly recommend them
Great wheels but wears fast
Rajid
These wheels have awesome buttery slides but they do cone quickly. They are great all around wheels.They can handle speed but they dont have a very wide contact patch so watch out for gravely parts in the road. Still great wheels
78a Flashies!!
SKIonNEON3
Got the 78s a while back and they are so buttery, soooo buttery! These things are just a fun wheel! my go to wheel for anything! Nice thane once broken in, but dont last too long if you do loong slides or go out everyday for a long time! Altogether if you are looking for a good all round wheel, you will get the most bang for your buck with this one!
Pretty Sweet Wheels
Ruzzew
I got these wheels because I wanted to get into sliding and my friend said that they were really good for beginners. right after i got them i put them on my board and went to it. the first day i got the slide 6 hours into it. after i had gotten better at the slide and then they got REALLY ICY so i gave them to my friend who was really good to break them in even more and now they slide EVEN better!! you shoul get them!!
?
nick
im buying these wheels today in 78a. have heard great things and im really excited. how long does break in take?
supa cool wheels
pac
supa cool fire, supa hot heel
Absolutely
Lucas
I bought the 81a's, and they are fantastic! Once broken in they slide wonderfully, and they also provide enough grip to hold in a corner. My only complaint is that they are a bit easy to flat-spot, but a few slides can even the wheels right out. These wheels are great, and for the price it's an amazing buy.
Suuggaarrryyyyy
Caleb
78a slide like nothing else, wear a little bit fast but the slide is worth it
Fantastic wheel
Ben
This is a truly great wheel, especially for the price. They're super smooth for cruising and the slide is almost exactly the same as the freerides from Abec 11. Definitely worth your money.
Amazzzing
Abec 11
When i go these wheels they were amazing they slide well and are very buttery and smooth they leave awsome thane and are great for beginners to hardcore guys
Ok
Cale
Slide really nice when broken in and leave so much thane. They don't last that long though. Not worth the money
Great wheels for everything
Ben
These wheels are a great wheel for everything. You can get up to speed well, and they're great for sliding. I got the 78as so I could do some skids that took more effort to do, but they cone quickly, so get a harder duro, like the 84s. The best part about the wheels is that they are the best wheels you can get for the price, and they're better than more expensive wheels as well. As I stated earlier, they come quite quickly, but that is my only complaint.
Pretty Awesome
Rob
I have had these wheels for at least a year. I am mostly freestyle but i'm no stranger to freeride. I bust 30 foot standies every once in a while and these are the perfect wheels for em. i have 84a so they are super slippery and icy which is fun. However if you ever plan on trying to rail turns, look elsewhere, or at least a lower duro. After a long while of freeride and riding they are only down to around 50mm boardside and 54mm roadside so they are only coned about 4-5mm . My only complaints with the 84a is they are a bit icy (which i like because it makes it more fun to try to rail turns :D )and they almost never thane (i weigh around 130 pounds). Ilike my thane lines, so i got some 81a freerides and flat spotted them in a month (still rideable but no fun) so overall i highly reccomend these wheels to everyone who doesn't rail turns above 35mph.! Hope this was helpful.

crusing?
snowboarder96
would these whells be good for crusing and hill bombing
amazing
Andrew
really great wheels. Have 84a and they break traction amazingly. Only downside is that they last forever so you cant try new wheels. definitely recommend
Best Wheels Ever!
Ricky
Once you break these wheels in they slide so smooth. They core really nice without getting major flat spots, as long as you don't hold long stand ups straight out!!
great all around wheel
billward
These wheels are great for sliding and make almost no noise for me and leave thane on the ground. They are also good at holding speed and WAY BETTER then my friends baluts.
eehh
unclesam
these wheels are great for sliding and put up with some good hills too but they didnt last as lo g as i wanted them to.
Great Wheels!
Chris
these wheels are great for holding slides out, a very smooth slide. I have only hit around 40 mph on these wheels which is pretty good considering I have the 81a duro
Good carving/ downhill wheel
Tony the longboarder
I got the 75a for dh and these wheels are great for it. Also I started carving and they are good for that too. I would definetly recommend them for those things but definetly not sliding or free ride; they are carve and dh
Great
Brandon
I got these wheels in 81a and i could do standies before they were even broken in .they are pretty slidy and great for all round freeriding .buy these fucking wheels! (81a or 78a) i compaired them to butterballs,cs race forms ,zombie hawgs and some otang wheels and these wheels are sooooooooo much amazingly better than all of them ,if your looking for a freeride wheel that you cant beat definately buy a set of flashbacks
Awesome Cheap Wheels!
Brandon
I got these wheels about 2 months ago or so and they are awesome! I've got these wheels in 81a and i used to use them on my bc eel but switched them to my comet grease shark and its awesome. They slide smooth and quiet, may loose a bit of speed but not too bad, and I have no trouble bombing a hill straight into a high speed coleman or anything like that due to the predictability and butteryness of the slides. I wouldn't really recommend them entirely for dh because I like a bit grippier wheels, but at speed they perform fairly well. And they're only 38 bucks! What's there to not like about these wheels?!
best wheels ever for sliding
jacob
well i got these as my first slide wheel in 84 a which i dont suggest if you are holding out big standies. I would go with 81 a because you cant ice out as easily. Overall best wheels ever they dump thane and are a not so bad downhill
Sick Wheels
Luka
I got the 75a's and they slide like a man that just took a butter bath and rolled down a hill. These wheels are really nice for freeride. They grip well and leave thick thane marks. You can hold out very predictable and long slides when going at the right speed. defiantly would recommend these wheels to anyone
Fun Wheel - Flashbacks 81a
Peter
This wheel is utterly amazing. It takes only a few slides to break in but it doesn't become really buttery (or start to leave thane) until around 65mm. I have cored this wheel now and have ridden it ~7 hours a week for about 4 months. It stays consistent all the way to the core, you can only flatspot it if you slide exactly 90º, you literally can slide these wheels 85º and they won't flatspot. Intense buttery and always consistent slides no matter what pavement. The only downside is that they don't have as much resistance in the slide as other wheels and they are a square lipped wheel so they don't break as free as easily as other wheels do. Regardless, I 100% recommend the classic thane!
grippy at first
Anonymous
bought these in 81a, they were grippy as hell at first, but after about an hour of riding in my favorite parking lot, they began to slide a little. took em up to my favorite hill in the area, and after some hard carving they really started to slide. getting above 30 mph on these got a little scary as the wheels just wanted to drift out in every carve. i was looking for some grippy wheels, but i managed to stumble upon some great sliders. can't really beat the price, either.

calum
em ok these wheels are very nice for slidding ,but do not and i mean do not buy a soft duro because they will go in 5 days...4 days and they started vibrating...sooo buy a hardeer duro like 84a minimum but all and all good
Best wheels!
Dylan Blomgren
First off my only complaint is that ive riden them for almost an hour and the decals are falling off, but i really dont care about that... Other that that they are the best for the money and really let you surf the pavement and slide perfectly. must buy!
INSANE
este
For the price there is not a better wheel. They slide incredibly smoothly. You have no idea until you try them.My friend has them on his dervish and its ridiculous.
slippery
ted
For their price these wheels are good but they do have some flaws. I have the 84a and on rough road theyre unpredictable and have 0 traction so if theres no good raods in your area go 81 or 78a. On smooth pavement these things rip. You hit the perpandicular point and they ice out providing smooth predictable slides.
awesome
cameron
great wheels for sliding. i got 81a they are good for sliding but are a little to soft. i would get 84a or harder. theses are great wheels i have had them over 2 months and they don't wear fast at all. all around great wheels. recommend them 100%
hey daddies (nice wheels too)
Anonymous

??????????
Anonymous
I am looking for a good not pricy set up would this sound good randall 180's with the flashbacks if not what would i am a downhill rider with a little carving what would be a good duro? THANKS DADDIES Dan Loveland Writes- Randal's and Flashbacks are a great combo. Go for the 78a and the 81a
BEAST WHEELS
Yash
I broke these wheels in, in like a day or two and started sliding. These wheels are completely predictable and slide like ice when you are going like 10 mph. You can pull any slide on this wheel from big stand up slides, to quick colmen slides. The best wheels I have ever had.
These wheels are awesome
Anonymous
I got 78a and they feel like your surfing, but more grippy. There definetly the best price for wheels comprable to them. Plus Abec11 makes bearing to so they fit perfectly in the wheels.
Dope wheels
Worm
I got these on my Kracked Skulls Scimitar. Been riding these bad boys for 6 months and they slide like a naked man rubbed with conola oil. MMMMMMMMMMMM these are some nice wheels. 81a's grip when you need it and slide like a mother. Great wheels and great price. I feel 10 feet tall an strong as a OX! That's what I gotta say about these wheels.
78A slide perfect!
kevin
i got these wheels on my new kracked skulls M1 that's 40 inched long... i got the flashbacks with its and didn't know what to expect but the in 78A when broken in they slide so smoothly. These are the wheels i learn to power slide and heel and toe side slides on. great beginner wheels for everything. :)
super awesome freeride wheel!
person
i have these wheels in 81a on my 925 and they are AMAZING!!!! they almost have no chatter (a high pitched whine once in a while) and when you slide them they simply glide along the pavement. it only takes a few slide glove slides to get rid of the sticky shiny part of the wheel. when they are coned a bit, they start to leave awesome slide marks. these are the greatest freeride wheels ive ever tried!
Good
A.J.
I ordered 81a and put them on my dervish. Very stable and smooth. Kinda hard to slide but I am also a beginner.
Good wheels
Gabe
I used these wheels for my speedboard, they are predictable, and they are very fast. They are really unique wheel, i have definately got big speeds with this wheel. Good for sliding corners too
Confused?
Anonymous
I was wondering... When you look at complete boards these wheels go up to 92a, how come they only go up to 88a when you buy just to wheels? Dan Loveland Writes - They used to make the Flashback in 92a. We have not removed this from all the completes. We are in the process of doing this. Thanks

My brother got these on his sector 9 pintail. They look sweet and ride nice. they are pretty wide to.
Great wheels
Will
So i just got my longboard and i ordered these wheels in 81 a and so far they have been great wheels... this is my first longboard so im hoping htese wheels will be ok to learn how to longboard but overall great board
good "middle of the road" wheel
Jon
These are a great starter wheel, especialy for the price. The softer duros cone a lot if slid frequently. That aside, they ride nice, are fairly gripy, and give you a good place to start from to decide what you might want to go with next.
shred the gnarrrr
D-chen
These are the best wheels you will ever buy in your lifetime. they have grip when u take tight corners and they have a smooth predictable slide when you kick them out. I have been holding 30 to 50ft slides with these and they leave a humongous thane line that is super thick.I fully recomend these wheels but the only downside to them are that they wear a little fast and they cone but if u keep riding them they eventually flatten back out like mine did.
got some 88a's for my freeboard
Anonymous
these wheels are nasty sliders and work great for sliding on a freeboard. The 88 duro is hard enough to get some sweet speed and is much faster than the stock 80a's that came with the freeboard; those are too grippy. Im looking into either getting some 84's for the front so i can have some extra grip or getting a set of the abec 11 strikers which i haerd are perfect for sliding on the freeboard but they dont come in the 70mm size like these do. the DBS abec 7 bearings that come with the wheels are excellent and speedy. Thanks!!
Pretty Good
Connor
These wheels lasted me about 4 months then i discovered huge chunks of wheel taken out of the edges. I rode/ ride these wheels pretty hard though (dont have money to buy new ones). Theyre a pretty decent wheel other than that though
Yikes! 78a!
A.J.
They break in very fast and slide very very well. Their slide is quiet and smooth. But after two days of riding they are coning and have suddenly gotten very loud and chattery.Go with a centerset wheel.
awesome wheels !!! :)
Jayson
this wheels is awesome !! At first a little grippy (not much) but then the slide are awesome and very silent !!!
good except for chips
Evan
to start i only have one complaint, after two days of standup 180's the wheels are starting to ship. but other than that the 88a slide beautifully but still grip the road like glue. i would definately recommend this wheel to anyone though.
BUY THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anonymous
When I bought my pinner and road it for the first time with my hawgs, it was pretty crappy because the roads suck were I live. But after I got my FlashBacks it totally road over the small pebbels and stuff! Thumbs Up! Buy Them!!! Or GumBalls They are also sweet to ride on!

While making up my mind about my first complete board purchase I admit I wasn't really that convinced that the over-green and toy-like 70's flashbacks were the right wheels for me. Sure, the facts about the shape supporting a more stable and faster ride made sense, but in the end the amount of great reviews was what made me go for it, and I stand by my choice. I live in Norway, yes, polar bears and oil, my point is that our average asphalt is not a whop-ass as one would want it. Holes, cracks, rocks, sand and uneven pavement is what you get, and I swear that these wheels have rolled over just about all of it. I'm not saying you don't notice the obstacles, but unlike my less amazing past on a skateboard I can actually cruise over those cracks and tiny rocks that made me eat pavement with ease. If you're up for a hybrid wheel this is it up until the point where slides which exceeds the purpose of just turning or/and braking. The shape of these buggers equals friction, or traction, which works really great to keeps you from going airborne as you hit those hills in 'GOSHDARN'-like speeds. In conclusion; these wheels are just another proof that green is good for you, and if the $32tag is still up then you shouldn't hesitate to pick up a set.
