personally I HATE SAND shark, if i were going to get anything besides skat trak haulers it would be itp sand stars, i guess it depends on what kind of riding ur doing in the dunes, i ride very hard so i love the hookup and performance i get from the haulers

i'll only be tooling around tho... for $150 rims and tires, only one trip on em, should i resist? the only place i'll be going is to the Silver Lake sand dunes in Michigan. hmm this is a tough choice. should i wait for a set of straight paddles with 6 of them or buy these?

Angled paddles will ride nicer when you're going slow, as there's part of a paddle in contact with the ground more often (If not constantly. no bump bump bump like the straight paddles). The disadvantage is that, instead of forcing all of the sand out backwards (Like a straight paddle), giving you maximum hook-up, they force some out to the sides, which results in wasted 'effort', and less efficient acceleration. But if you can get em' cheap, and aren't planning on doing a whole lot of drag racing, get the angled ones. You'll just be slower than everyone else

well i really don't want to be slower than everyone else, so i'll definitely see if i can find a cheap pair of straight paddles. i'm hoping to find a pair locally on craigslist... or even ebay.

I had ITP Sand Stars at one time and then purchased Haulers. Night and day difference during hook-up.

IMO - Spend the little extra now and get the Haulers

USA
