I had them on a sort-of-sliding deck, and they were pretty much my first set of sliding wheels. But to be totally honest I think there are better sliding specific wheels out there. However, that being said, on an all around (maybe sliding geared) they are great, despite there hardness they hold lines very well and they go in and out of slides very predictably and smoothly. I didn't really appreciate them until i got them on my homemade channel board and somehow any channel board set up i put them on, these wheel refuse to break free. Honestly I can't get them to slide, they just go fast and turn sharp

When I ordered these wheels a year ago, I didn't know they'd have a side set bearing seat. When I got them I reluctantly kept them and tried them out, but I was not impressed. I wrote a letter to gravity asking them to list the bearing seat spec's on their website and they said they would... to my knowledge they still have not listed this information.
Equipment Reviews
How long have you ridden them?: baught a year ago, retired recently
What Setup are you running them on?: these were on several boards, namely a sector 9 super cruiser. Yes, I slide a 46" board.
Typical Discepline?: sliding
How much did you pay for them?: retail
Where did you buy them?: gravityboard.com
What are their weaknesses?: the side set bearing seat wrecks the whole wheel. I would sell my soul to the devil for a set of 72mm slide wheels with a center set bearing seat. offset= slower wheel, way too much traction, less ability to throw quick spins, and I can't rotate them as well as I'd like.
What are their strengths?: ummm.... they look nice :|
What similar equipment have you ridden?: gravity super G, spitfire 62mm salba's
Would you recommend them?: No

Can't kill'em!, Friday, 02 February 2007

Written by guest   -  View all my reviews  - #1 Reviewer

I have been sliding the same pair of these wheels for 6 months or so now, pretty much 2-3 times a week for hour long, all slide sessions, and they are holding up great. The better I have become, the longer my slides on them have become. Just keep rotating them regularly and they wear perfectly. The size also helps out with them being a hard durometer and riding them on rough streets. They actually ride fairly smoothly though they are 94a. Also, when they are new they make a wicked sweet sound when doing fast slides, but they wear in and it goes away. Highly recommended slide wheel if you like the larger size.
