I just scored some 8" sand skate II on fleabay for $85 . For the pair and they still have the tire hair. Like new. I herd these are good tires. Any body have experience with them?

Seriously, those tires suck.  I will give you 101.00 just so you dont feel like a dumb crap for buying them.  If you dont believe me that they suck.  let ice racer use them on the track and i bet he comes in last place.  They are that bad.  OK  102.00 but that my final.

Here they are

Sounds like I lucked out. They popped up on ebay yesterday and I swooped them a few hours ago.

I have run the skat track Edge V-paddle---22" haulers--and those sand skates you scored.  I liked the Skates every bit as much as the Edge v paddles.  The skates are much much more durable and 1/2 the cost.  I run them on my raptor.  they play, side hill and carve bowls very well.  They are not as fast in a drag as the straight paddle haulers.  And haulers sound wicked when you get them flying on the sand.  THe straight paddles dont carve and slide as well as a v tire but you can still do it.

You got you a great tire at a great price.  Unless all you want is a faster straight line speed you wont be parting with them.

I have a pair of discontinued Douglas blue labels that'll work perfect with those. They're 8x9" (8" dia. 9" wide).

Sure, if you're interested I can post some pics

weld the  hole shut and call it a day!
