Balance beam 50-50s.
Troy and Aaron were a couple of the ams on Balance. I don't really know too much about either guy. Troy is from Australia and also rode for Shorty's. Aaron had something to do with running Balance since the company started out in Arizona. It's mildly amusing how team rider names would either drop out or be added from advert to advert.
It's been about a month of riding 56mm wheels and I'm still not fully sure what I think of them. The extra speed for the few ramp tricks I can do is really cool. I don't care too much for the minimal amount of extra weight from the bigger wheels. It's noticeable, but not bad. I keep reminding myself I did all the best skateboarding of my life on 56mm wheels so I should stick with the larger tires.
The photos are by Ed Dominick and Herbig. I've never heard of that name before.

Steve Guttenberg on the team?
I noticed that. I wonder if it was a homie from Arizona or a joke.
