    they are all poured by hyper so they are all the same but everyone acts like brands matter

    the only companies that pour their own wheels are cozmo, 9mm and eulogy

    i talked to chris himself about this, over the summer, he even said that his wheels sucked, it isnt his fault though, basically what happened was they didnt get to 'set' as long as they were supposed to in the molds then they got shipped over to fast so they didnt get to go through the hardening process that usually takes place in freight. he also said he had prototypes of the same size wheels and what not and that they were some of the best wheels ever but the fact that they didnt get to go through the whole process most wheels go to they are screwed up.

    but i guess thats what happens when you kids gotta have your farmer gear.
    i finally sucked it up and got a screen name aren't you proud of me be-maggers?

    i heard soo many bad storys on genre so far, all my friends that had them, broke in the first 2-3 days, big chunks, i had 4x4 and mindgame, and i like them both.. but i like the shima 4x4 since there so large and in charge.. and less money

    the only companies that pour their own wheels are cozmo, 9mm and eulogy
    Also don't forget the new M1 wheels are poured here in the US.
    What really makes the biggest difference in durability is if wheels are single pour or dual pour (dual durameter).
    Dual durameter wheels are far superior to single pour wheels. Of course Murder One (M1)
    Urethane wheels are Dual durameter as are Cozmo. That is why they are a better, more durable and longer lasting wheel if you Skate hard, fast and want a smooth ride.
    For an unbiased opinion just give SkatePile a call and ask them why they are featureing them on their home page or ask Franky Morales why he rides them or Damien Wilson or Franco Camayo or Mike Lilly or Julian Bah or or or or .........etc. etc.etc...

    For the best of the best ride Dual Durameter poured in the USA only !!

    Franky has been riding M1 for over 6 months and prefers the wheel. He was offered a deal with Exile but they could not come up with a contract that was aggreeable to but of them.
    Franky will be in Tallahassee, Florida the weekend of the 19th for some serious street skating there.

    Julian is currently sponsored by Genre, but has been helping M1 by evaluating the M1 wheels for us. We wanted his opinion of the wheels and his opinion means something since he is such a sick Sk8'r. Watch for Julian this year. He can tear up the streets.

    ther eis no difference between M1 and 9mm other than color and graphic. They are poured in the same exact place.

    Yes M1 amd 9mm are poured at the same source but they are poured to different hardness levels. Being Dual Durameter M1 had their wheels poured at a harder durameter on both the core and the outter wheel.
    You feel a noticible difference when riding on them.
