Gazlay43 Posted December 19, 2017 Report Posted December 19, 2017 (edited) Picked up another banshee last week and it came with a set of Geckos. I've used them in the past and they suck. I've found a set of Sand Skate II's and a set of Cheng Shing Dune Hoppers here locally for pretty cheap. I know they're not the best, but I have no need for another 400 dollar set of paddles. I had no issues sliding with my haulers, but I've heard the sand skates actually hook up pretty well so I wouldn't mind having a v paddle. Out of the v paddle skates and the straight paddle hoppers which would you go with? Edited December 19, 2017 by Gazlay43 Quote

Ayesully810 Posted December 21, 2017 Report Posted December 21, 2017 if your riding loose stuff try padla brats out they hook like a mother 9 paddle comp cut. light af Quote
Gazlay43 Posted December 21, 2017 Author Report Posted December 21, 2017 Ya I know brats are great, but I'm not trying to spend that much right now. This banshee won't be a dedicated hillshooter like my last one. It's basically stock right now. I've never been a huge fan of v paddles, but I do remember them sliding much easier which is fun.

SandSlingerOR Posted December 21, 2017 Report Posted December 21, 2017 My vote is neither. But if your set on those two try the skates I guess. They are okay. Quote
Gazlay43 Posted December 21, 2017 Author Report Posted December 21, 2017 How are the skates compared to sand stars? I've ran those in the past. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
SandSlingerOR Posted December 24, 2017 Report Posted December 24, 2017 Sand stars hook up better than skates for sure. But anything is better than dirt tires in the sand Quote
Gazlay43 Posted December 25, 2017 Author Report Posted December 25, 2017 Grabbed the set of cheng shins. 40 bucks with wheels. Couldn't pass it up. I'm sure they'll do better than the geckosSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Gazlay43 Posted January 15, 2018 Author Report Posted January 15, 2018 In case anybody was wondering what they look like Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
hoppedupandcutdown Posted January 16, 2018 Report Posted January 16, 2018 Those are actually an OK tire on a stock Banshee. Back when I started duning those where $99 a pair mounted shipped from Rocky Mountain. LOL 1 Quote

Not expecting them to be as good as my skats that I had, but as long as they don't suck as bad as the geckos I'll be happy. This is just gonna be a play bike. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
