Wes, I took this picture of Chickens deck during the FCR Morro Bay race. This could be a just a prototype, but I would imagine that they'd look something like this .

Wow, a new brand. Couldn't be any better!

Let us know all about them once you're ready do share the insights with us. Your new wheels will certainly add excitement to the 2004 season.

Thank's Chicken.

The first wheels Manx will have available will be the 69mm x 52mm. They will be available in 80, 84 and 88 durometer. Here's some photos of the prototypes.

Manx will also have a smaller 63 and a larger 74 available soon and they will all be available in 77, 80, 84, and 88 durometer. Also look for downhill and ditch/longboard wheels in the near future.

These wheels should work just fine in a ditch. In the future Manx will be making a wheel designed just for ditches and longboards.

Chicken,
How will they be sold? In shops? Via the Pocket Pistols Web site? Or will you have a Manx-only site?

Got mine today

Post by Todd Carlson » Sun Feb 22, 2004 7:19 am

Pink 80a and looking good. They feel softer than 80a but what do I know. Great lip shape and cool graphics (I usually hate wheel graphics). Rained like hell in LA today so no riding but mounted them and they are a true pour - stay uniform in shape when spun. Can't wait to ride them abit. BTW, also picked up a offset Indy from Chicken which is a thing of beauty.

Thier e-cart is up and running but they only have test wheels in stock.

Currently in red and orange only (in differant duros)

And PayPal on the e-cart only.
