Could anyone show/tell me how to make megavert wheels? I'm sick of buying new megas XD

hmmm okay ill try.

Step One: Go to your local skate shop and pick up some nice hard wheels and abec 7 bearings.

Step Two: Use a powersander the get the wheels down to a nice size that fits in your wheel well.

Step Three: Put the bearings in

Step Four: Put the axel in (used from an old pair of wheels)

Step Five: Skate around and look pretty.

cool i agree with step 1-4 but 5 the last part yeh dont think so Razz

i might do a tutorial if i get a chance. if you use mediums make sure the wheel is 48mm or 49mm maybe 98a hardeness is good.

im filming my next mega-verts get done... but its not that easy to get good mega-verts

1. 4 skateboard wheels
2. (mega-wheel) measure the distance of the space (where you put the bearings in) to the axle
3. decide which is the outside of your Mega-Vert-Wheel (because, 1 is made out of 2 skateboard wheels)
4. cut as much as needed off to look like a mega-wheel (youve measured it out in step 2) - youll need a turning lathe or enginge lathe
5. do that to all 4 skateboard wheels
6. measure the width of your mega wheel
7. cut as much as needed off from the inside of your skateboard wheel (you decided in step 3 whats he inside and the outside)
8. glue the inner sides together and let them rest
9. measure the caliber of your mega wheel
10. reduce the caliber of your mega-vert wheel using the turning lathe
11. put the bearings in
12. put the axle in

for FATS you can use 1 skateboard wheel

Could someone post a pic of a megavert wheel? What I'm picturing in my head is 2 skateboard wheels super glued together and stuck into one of your Heelys which...I dont think that can be right.

It's basically like that....but some of the 2 skateboard wheels are shved down and glued together, so it'd look like a regular mega wheel
