Wheele question



Dan C posted,

I've been using 78a grippis for quite a while now and i love
them! they are fast, smooth and grippy but they do slide
nicely when you want. I've been thinking about getting 81a
in the same wheel and doing a bit more sliding. my question
was does anyone have any other suggestions? other wheels
that have a similar feel with a better slide??

try a variety of wheels intead of getting the same wheels with different duro...you will notice a slight change with each duro, but usually not enough unless your going from like 77a to 89a or something

I would beg to differ with the jump in 3 points making no difference. Sometimes that is all the world of difference!

I recommend the ZigZags if you haven't tried them or the Flashbacks as previously suggested. Both wheels are great if you intend to keep some grip in your wheel but slide nicely with the harder duro's.

If the main intent of your new wheel adventure is sliding then I would definitely suggest a rounded wheel like the Striker or Powerball. The Powerballs only come in 78a though.

If you can get your hands on Fishballs then those wheels are super sweet! Unfortunately they were made in a limited run so they might be hard to track down.

Orangotangs are fricken sweet if you want grip, and once you break them in, there a great slide wheel to, but an AWSOME GRIP
if you want more slide fast, go purple
higher duro
