I Think The Only People That Made Them Were UNI And GT (Correct Me If Wrong!). I Dont Really Like Them I Think They Were Just Created So That Sponsers Were Able To Be More Known, Seen Etc. They Just Look Silly IMO  :daumenhoch:

Yep I had a set too BITD on my Haro!

They were also made by SM & specifically for skyways: they fitted perfick! & had a circular cut out for the valve caps, but was still a bitch to get to if you needed air!  :)

I rode for a while with a set on my Tuffs but not for long as they were noisey and no fun for jumping if you had a cross wind because the bike blew out from under you. Not made by Skyway though.

I seem to remember Fiola riding a demo at Harrow with some on.

Fiola did use them for a while and I thought they were cool............ until I saw them in the flesh. They were so noisey,  even Bob Haro would sound like a sketchy rider using those.
