Great wheel if you're looking to slide forever. They wear away but what do you expect from a slide wheel? Made by an excelent crew.

Equipment Reviews

How long have you ridden them?: about a month
What Setup are you running them on?: Earthwing 35.5 drifter. They fit like a glove
Typical Discepline?: sliding, sometimes park
How much did you pay for them?: $35
Where did you buy them?: thelongboardstore.com
What are their weaknesses?: Its tough to pick out weaknesses for a slide wheel. Of course they wear away but i havnt just started sliding so i cant compare. I will say that after a month of hard sliding almost everyday(at least every other day) these wheels wore down quite a bit. They also break away a little too easy at the park when you take hard turns.
What are their strengths?: These are my favorite wheels to slide. They break away easily and will slide forever. They feel like they're made for the drifter series and when i have a pair on my drifter i couldnt be happier
What similar equipment have you ridden?: Sector 9 slide formula, bones stf
Would you recommend them?: Yes
