Blue Series Freeride wheels

Most are familiar with the origin story of the Blue Series, but for those that aren't, let's lay out the not-so-humble history.

In January, 2014, Sydney rider Rob Laing, on a set of first production batch Blue Series he had ridden for only a few hours the day before, threw out a 200ft (61m) standup at Sydney's Thane Destroyer, annihilating Liam Morgan's famed 180ft world record (previously Ryan V.'s). This was followed up 2 years later with a 220ft monster topped off with a shuv-out for the haters.

Simply put without rambling on about polymer chemistry, you will not find another wheel that provides, for the amount of slide, as much control, predictability and consistency, as our Blue Series thane.

This all said, the Blue Series maintain an extremely alive, chalky-textured, and natural-feeling slide. Whether you are a new or experienced rider, the Blue Series will make freeride progression easier and more satisfying than ever. They come with a stone-ground surface and large rounded outer lips, making for effortless slides straight out of the box.

The Blue Series also make a great choice for shorter hybrids or cruisers due to the thane's excellent roll speed and stable grip/slide characteristics across different surfaces.
