Orangatang wheels are one of the most hyped wheels at the moment and although longboarding 'hipsters' frown upon them, they've got hype for a reason, although I haven't had much success with the softer orangatangs the yellow stimulus are a great sliding wheel, in fact I've found them to go as fast sideways as they do forward. The main problem I had with the softer ones, since I'm more of a freeriding fan was that they were difficult to break in and had a really loud and inconsistent slide. I was rather pleased with my yellow stimulus though and they've lasted me longer than most of my other wheels, so durability wise they're definitely a steal and will take even the hardest shredders quite some time to wear down. For those of you that aren't hardcore sliders and burn through wheels every couple of weeks to a month then these also great for just getting around although if you're intent on just cruising or even downhill riding then I would definitely suggest getting an orange or purple in-heat or durian (softer durometer, square lipped) wheel. Although they may be a tad pricy you really can't argue with the quality of Orangatang wheels.
