Default Re: New to sliding?

While it is possible to slide just about anything, I am looking for some new slide wheels with the following characteristics:

~65-70mm

-a durometer that will allow me to carve a fair amount without losing it, (those who know the SC Harbor know how insanely turny it is) but also slide well enough to pull off a layback or other such trick slides.

I currently have 75a's and can pull off large power slides, but they will not slide long enough to complete any fancy stuff.

What would be a recommendation for a durometer?

I was looking at the Abec 11 70's flashbacks, or the Grippins in a 92A. Maybe a 88A would be better suited to my needs though, and that would open up the possibility of the Gumballs.

Any other brands recommended?

Lastly, how would a durometer like 92A grip if one was not trying to pull a slide, but instead wanted to pull some carves?

Thanks for the suggestions!
