We are hosting a pre-order sale until the day we receive our first shipment from the manufacture. Use the code: POPOCA during checkout for 15% off the retail price.
Edit:
A few people have asked if we could extend this sale to the rest of our products so we decided that we will. Enter: POPOCA during checkout and receive 15% off your entire order with a set of wheels. We will run this sale till the wheels arrive!
If you hadn’t left the diy market people would buy them from you, but you did, so stop whining. People want those wheels, regardless of who got them first. No point on choosing another manufacturer just cause they’re not the first customer, if that’s the best just go for it
(Oh and yeah, I like drama, let’s start an argument over these wheels)
No they wont fit an abec pulley. We will carry an adapter set soon but it is very easy to drill a pulley and mount it up if you have access to a good drill press and a set of taps.
As far as “innovation” goes I think it is a good choice to begin standardizing bolt/pin spacing when it comes to hubs/cores. One of the great aspects of traditional skating has always been the ability to swap parts freely. I would like to see more of that in Eskate.
@Surfer All the credit for these sweet wheels goes to the good folks who make them in California. And cheers to seeing more choices with the same hub pattern in the future!
@onloop It’s pretty common knowledge that Chaka is THE most innovative builder on the scene. Show a little respect, bro! Can’t we all just get along? @chaka Have you ridden these yet? How does the 78A duro ride?
@baxter I have always preffered 78a over a harder or softer duro. 75a seems to soak up momentum too much, 83a is great… on buttery smooth roads. 78a is a kind of happy medium between the two ends of the spectrum.

There is a story based on Mexican mythology and legend. Popoca was a young warrior who was promised his lovers hand in marriage, Izta, the daughter of an emperor, if he went on to fight the emperors enemy and bring him his head. During the many months of the battle false word was sent of Popoca’s defeat and the young princess took her life in despair. Popoca returned victorious only to find his love in an eternal sleep. He carried her to the top of a nearby mountain hoping the cold snow would wake her.
