Sure Grip now offers these wheels in standard size, slim profile, and mini!
Yellow and purple come in hollow-core, slim size ONLY and are FIRM.
WIDE: Blue, black, red, pink, green
NARROW: Black, blue, purple, yellow

Slim: You might be interested in trying slim sized Fugis if you have good footwork or would like to, and are a "hoppy" skater, or if you have trouble with wheel clipping (your own or other skaters!). Slim wheels are lighter and sacrifice a little traction to their shape, but many skaters find that the narrow profile helps them feel extra agile!

Mini: You might be interested in checking out the mini Fugis if you love extra traction but want quicker acceleration and faster recovery. Smaller diameter wheels go 0-60 in less time and Ivanna swears they are ideal for derby because they help even phat jammers get where they're going quicker on derby's short track.

ABOUT THE NEW ORANGE FUGITIVE PUSHER WHEELS:
Sin City Rollergirls skate on the slippiest surfaces known to derbykind. So since we had such good luck when we asked Sure Grip to make blue Fugitives, we figured we'd push it even further. So we asked if it was possible to make an *even grippier* special softie Fugitive "Pusher" wheel to put on the left two wheels of each skate (that's left when you're wearing them, looking down). Sure Grip came through again and now we have them! Because they're meant for pusher wheels, they're sold in 4-packs. And cause we invented them, they come in our favorite color - our team color: ORANGE.

Use with firmer wheels on the outside for extra grip on the turns without slowing you down... or with blue fugis on the outside for super grip on slipperiest surfaces without giving up a lot of speed.

Approximate durometer 88-90A, fugitive Poly-BD urethane compound.

Ivanna got the first prototypes and she says: "THEY ARE AMAZING!!! Every girl on our team is getting a set."

"I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE my new pusher wheels. I tried them out for the first time at practice last night. I purchased them to see if they would help with my crossovers in the corners when sprinting. These wheels didn't hinder my speed at all and totally gripped on the corners. No slip. I was able to do crossovers going fast which enabled me to kick some ass! I feel so much better and confident about my skating now. I would totally recommend these wheels."

ABOUT SURE GRIP BLUE FUGITIVES:
We loved the red Fugitives - everything about them; the nylon hubs that flex to give more grip, the grabby urethane formula, how long it took to wear them out... So Sin City Skates asked Sure Grip if it was possible to get wheels even grippier made from the same formula with the same design - and so 92A Blue Fugitives were born. They were the very first wheels actually made for roller derby with input from roller derby skaters.

From Trish the Dish, Neander Dolls / SCRG: "They [the blues] are about as grippy as you can get without slowing you down too much for jamming, and they're cheap and durable. Works great on our dirty Sport Court track and our slippery outdoor cement hockey rink."

From Jett Girl, Hamilton Harlots / Canada: "Love them (the blues). The Fugitives don't slide on the turns which is awesome. You're [Sin City] totally right when you said they are grippier without slowin ya down. "
