I was an undisciplined kind of rider that killed rims with sideways landings and stuff. I bent a lot of alloys, and folded over a Z-Rim, which didn't hurt the rim but broke the flange off the hub.
I was never a racer, but always liked the solid feel of Tuffs for jumping.
I'm going to get a set for my new cruiser just for nostalgia's sake.
Full Version: Question for you guys Why tuffs?

I am liking the answers I am getting. My first Webco had Tuff 1's. My parents bought it for me at D&D bike shop in Westland when it was still a house and they pulled the bikes out front everyday. I agree they were good for a kid to beat up on. I won my first race on a set of Tuff 1's. But being at the track and seeing what the "racers" were riding I knew I needed alloys. My Dad found a used set for sale by a local racers dad ( Monk Walerious) and picked them up for 20 bucks ( blue araya w suzue hubs). I mounted them up at the track and practiced after the races were done and relegated the Tuffs for my "trick" bike later down the road. Cool phots everyone
I used to race witha guy sponsored by D&D bitd, His name was Teddy I wanna say Williams. Real good guy and was fast to boot.
