they are made by Fluid. http://www.fluidskateboards.com/
for some reason the power paws are not featured yet on the 'wheels' page, but you can email them to order.
Enjoy!

Has anyone tried these new wheels from XT? They are saying that the round shape yields excellent cornering. I'm dubious. I'de like to hear from anyone that has ridden on them.

I did test the wheels,
they are way too hard for a proper longboard riding!
Maybe there best use will be for training how to slide, nothing more.
And it's useless to have more diameter than conventionnal 70mm's,
better have softer wheels.
DON'T PURCHASE SUCH TEMPLAR WHEELS!

Power Paws 70mm

i a set of power paw 70mm on my deck, (g&s w/ exskate 201s),
and i really like them. they grip well, and when they do start to slide
they do so SMOOTHLY. and then they regain traction smoothly too.
i like that predictability. i also like that they were desighned
well so that you can use bearing spacers with out extra washers,
(like i do with my 82mm cherrybombs), and there's no slack, (like
i would have with kryptos route 70s if i istalled spacers in them).
fluid did a great job with these wheels and the self centering spacers
that they make. it's great to see technology really WORKING.

If you cruise in the suburbs and need to go up and down driveway ramps, go under trees that drop crap everywhere, and like to be able to not have to worry about manholes, storm grates, and crap like that, then XT's are a godsend. If you're going to be cruising smooth walkways (along a beach, maybe) or are going to be sticking to a mostly smooth highway, bombing it at high speed, then by all means, go for a smaller harder wheel made for mad speed! They're different wheels for different purposes. I love my XT Dirts. So much, in fact, that I Armor-Alled them!! They look sweet!

I dont get all this hipe about the XT's, I think my good 'ol speed wheel road riders are the best wheel to cruise, you can down hill at 30 mph or bust out a grind on a short board with ease.

Sector 9 70mms

Just put on a new set of sector 9 70mms and they were great. I had them on there
before but they were so worn down that they got too sticky. I was sliding like a champ.
I don't know if they are a different compound or if they were like that because they were new,
but I was pulling coleman's and power slides with no problem. Just the way I like it.
I was anti sector 9 because of all the great things I heard about power paws and
also because theirlatest video is all shortboarding, but I am definately happy for now. It was
the best ride I have had in awhile.

I just purchased theses wheels (200 French Francs!)
I wonder if they are grippy enough to do full speed downhill!
I think their density is more than my old 65mm S9 78A...
Anyone has tested them?
Drop me a mail, before I use 'em 'cos I will comment 'em for sure.
Have a nice ride all.

XT Dirt Wheelz are some tight shizzat. Don't bother with super slicks, they're more expensive and if you want street wheels, get something in urethane. If you want badass wheels that will go over anything the suburbs have to throw at you, get the dirt wheels. I go up and down driveway cracks like they weren't there, and those spikey things that trees drop are no problem. Some dude rode hundreds of miles of trails with XTs on his board. Read his story at
www.migrationboards.com
it's crazy stuff. Get these wheels!!

These wheels are really cool for bombing, for carving and cruising. They are fast and stick on the ground. I ride them on a 53" board with some Indys.

In blue or White, these wheels are #1 on my list. They're fast and stay fast down to the plastic hub. They slide like a dream when your bustin a 30 mph backside.

I upgraded from 78a 70mm Sector 9s to 80a 73mm Super G's
and there was a significant difference. I don't know if
it was because the wheel was harder or because it was
larger, but there was definitely a difference.
Remember though, in the end
it's not the size of your wheel, it's how you use it.

The Red payaso wheeles are bitchen, supper stikky. They are hard to slide with because of that fact but, the stikkyness makes it really easy to turn at extreem speeds. I got sets of payaso wheel's on all 5 of my boards. If you like speed get the yellow ones. If you like carving get the red one's.
