setting up a nemesis

[jsweriduk]

i DH on broken in lime bigzigs. i know how to stop with broken in wheels. there not as broken in as my potangs but they are

You're an idiot. Don't debate that, just accept it and move on. I doubt you can get above 25.

I would go with BigZigs or In Heats. You might also find S9 race formulas a good cheap wheel for both dh and freeride.

And the reason why NumNum is right about starting out with new, unbroken in wheels:

You probably won't be able to slide stop right off the bat. You are better off foot braking when you are going too fast. The wheels will be a little grippier so you won't slide out which is good. Carving out speed will be harder, though. Once you start to learn to slide from freeriding, you will break in your wheels. Foot braking is still a great way to stop.

or you are better off learning to slide at slower speeds, and not risking anything by going too fast.

the best way to get hurt when you are starting out is by not knowing how to stop. definitely learn to footbreak, but just as important as that is a shut down slide. LEARN BOTH!!!

I beg to differ. I am willing to wager that he is going 26 or 27 MPH here:
