i know they are crap pictures, dull and hazey, but its a 7 goggle pixle camera, whatever that means :D

anyway! like it much better now, skyways just dont seem to suit chrome frames to me, and are better off on a coloured frame...

my opinion thats all, dont want to start a debate... ;)

I had the same dilemma with my Gen1 and much happier with the Z's too  :daumenhoch:

In my opinion Gen 1's only look good with blue zeds or blue tuffs.

Z's all the way for me.

Im missing mine now. :'( :'( :D

this is were your blue tuffs were going, even got the brake pads ready, though i am glad i went for zeds now!
someone else on here had one with blue tuffs on, and it looked much better than the normal black ones...

In my opinion Gen 1 Freestylers look best with White Tuffs

But you need a special touch to make them look right  ;)

Zeds tie in lovely with the blue on the decals ....unusual to see a Gen 1 without black tuffs , but it works!!..fair play to you for being different  :4_17_5:

Tried white, then black Tuffs before settling on blue on my POS..... tried black z's too, but never tried blue so it looks fookin lush alright, but it's got to be Tuffs for me as I ride mine every weekend >:D

I liked the black z's on my Sport, but again I'm too clumsy, so I went back to Tuffs...
(yes, I know they're not LG's btw :-[ )
