That’s right people. The crazy scientists at Orangatang have only gone and released the Kegel and Caguama in a new durometer and colour. We here at SkateFurther have been rolling on Kegels for years and have loved the new Caguamas. The 77a blue’s look like they will be an amazing distance wheel and we cantContinue reading “Orangatang in Blue!?”

The Orangatang Caguama is here!
We have known about the 85mm from Orangatang for quite some time. The 80mm Kegel has become a firm favourite with distance skaters and the 85mm Seismic Speedvent is up there as one of the best. The combination of Otangs ‘Happy Thane’ and the larger size means we now have a wheel that will lastContinue reading “The Orangatang Caguama is here!”
Reader’s Rides – Nick Menor
Over to California for our latest Reader’s Rides! Nick is rolling quite the setup! The Rayne Ego is a double drop, rockered platform deck meant for bombing hills and pushing far. The wedge up front adds 6 degrees to your truck’s angle and is wedged downward 6 degrees in the back. I’m running Don’t Trip PoppysContinue reading “Reader’s Rides – Nick Menor”

Hello SkateFurther my name is Neil Hayler and my review is for something that has been the saving grace for my long distance pushing and might help others. About five years ago I suffered a dvt or blood clot in my pushContinue reading “Review – DIY Bo Landpaddle”
Review – Vennbahn
The first Harfangatang review for a route comes in. Karl gives us his thoughts on the Vennbahn a 130km long cycle track that runs through three different countries. My name is Karl and I live in Aachen/Germany which is just north of the German uplands called Eifel. (It has nothing to do with the Eiffel-Tower btw…) SoContinue reading “Review – Vennbahn”
Review – Harfang Stage 4 Kegels
Michael takes the Harfangatang Kegels for a few skates and gives SkateFurther a review. Great distances mean a great variety of surfaces, no wheel will be perfect for them all. Softer, bigger wheels will plough through soft gravel, mud and carry on spinning longer with every push but that extra weight will cost you energyContinue reading “Review – Harfang Stage 4 Kegels”
Competition – Harfangatang Giveaway

We are currently getting them tested by pushers and LDPers across the globe and will give you our full review soon. Meanwhile, Orangatang kindly slipped in an extra set of wheelsContinue reading “Competition – Harfangatang Giveaway”
