purple stims
David
They aren't the best wheel but they are good all around. They lasted me a long time but as soon as I started to hold out big stand ups they coned easily. Flashbacks are much better and cheaper.
Nice Wheels
You Know Who It Is
I've been riding these for a while i first had orangatang in heats but they puked because i never heard of bearing spacers before. But the Stimulus are nice sliding wheels and downhill pretty much everything except pushing but thats mostly because i ride the 86 a's so if you want an all around great wheel id recommend these but the 80 a's just might take a while to break them in for slides. The stimulus got me through my first stand up 180's and now im learning to drift with them they slide like butter
They are ok. I would recommend more buttery wheels for longer holdouts

They are ok. At first i hated them but then after i broke them in they got more slidier. They were my first wheels. They good for simple slides, but for holding it out they arent the best but they arent bad. I would recommend different more buttery wheels for holding it out but they are good for beginning wheels

These wheels are great to start sliding but I seem to get a lot of little flat spots I cored these after around 2 months they are alright for big standies not the best though
Meh

these should be sold with ear plugs.
great wheels
speed demon
awsome wheels have them on my pintail 43 from original skateboards and are still in great condition after 2 years
Very Good

I don't know why the reviews say they are a 1 star downhill. These are terrific for bombing pretty big hills. They are decent sliding wheels. I would definitely reccomend these to anybody.
Sliding

Slides so easily but I found one u got to the butter spot they flat spot very easily and leave the thickes thane lines ever
Medium

I currently have the 80a (orange) version of these. They are great for beginners. But once you start holding out long slides they cone and flat spot easily. But again they are great for learning how to slide.

if you are looking to buy these wheels, i would recommend getting the 83a purple ones! i weigh around 150 and the yellow 86a wheels were too hard and gave me a tough ride, and the orange 80a ones were a little too difficult for me to put sideways, the purple 83a's were the wheels i learned to slide on and were buttery smooth while still having a relatively smooth ride. Great wheels!
learned how to slide on em
Thomas
well no one else will review this so i guess i will. they are very expensive for what you get. They don't cone fast and are pretty durable. everything other than that they are just good not great or awesome. slides aren't that smooth. if i were you i would look at a pair of abec 11 flashbacks or freerides. otangs have more hype than what they really are.
mediocre
titi
i think these wheels are good for no specific subject, they an be used for sliding can be used for downhill and can be used for freeride but do not exceed in any of those subjects
SICKKKK
daddies
nicest sliding wheels you can buy!!
Good at low speeds
Alex
I love these wheels for quick 180 slides and and 360 slides and stuff in that nature. But for bigger higher speed slides they are choppy and so icy. Get these for technical freeride. Don't get these for higher speeds.

They just keep getting better!

ive had these wheels for about a month now and i absolutely love them, at the moment there are only two things i dont like about them. 1: (in my case) it took them ages to properly brake in, even after massive stand ups and hand slides.
2: once they do brake in they cone (in my case) so so quickly,maybe its because i like powerslides :D but they never flat spot which is great!
But all that being said there are alot more things that out way the bad, they leave the best thane lines ever on australian roads!! also so predictable and stable when holding out big slides!! also surprisingly good at downhill!
these wheels are amazing when it comes to freeride and abit of downhill, i highly recommend these wheels to all skill levels although they mite not last as long depending on what you do :D
Bad

I am not a fan of orangatang wheels they are grippy chattery and have a slow urethane I would not recommend orangatang to anyone
how good are the stims
Alec
stims 86a are so easy breaking out into a slide. And if you push alot you want these they have the best roll speed ever.
Decent Wheels but overpriced
Zach
Overall, these wheels are great for carving, cruising and freeriding. The urethane used to make the stims feel harder then their actual duro (a stim's 80a feels like 83a). The slide is great, just as long as you have built in bearings or spaces (precision spacers or buit in are even better). The only complaint is that the wheels are sometimes chattery and have an inconsistent slide (will feel smooth for most of the slide then start to chatter).
Great Wheel (83a's Review)
Afro Ninja
Great if your starting out they grip when you want them to and you still slide them fat. They awesome because you can trust the entirely up to med. high speeds to grip just how you want to. Some of the most controllable slides I've gotten are on these wheels. Only cons are after a bit of coning the break point becomes a little inconsistent (you wont notice it unless your looking for it) and they're kinda noisy some people dont like it I find it quite satisfying to squeal down the street with some big slides or to a stop right in front of your friend but thats just me.
Great wheel for all skill levels definitely recommend for a great and long-lasting wheel

I've been riding Stimulus yellows and purples for almost a year, and we have them on all my family's boards (4 boards). They hold up great and are made well. We particularly like the yellows for sliding.
