    not gonna be a slipy slidey wheel, but when it does slide its nice and smooth.
    Abec 11 Retro Freerides Limes. still soft enough to grip some mad corners and keeps the ride smooth. a decent mix of acceleration and roll speed. 72mm 80a FTW

    Orangatang 4pres 70mm or in heat 75mm, after you have broken them in (smoothed of the edges) they slide nicely and grip when you need. 83a (purple) or 80a (orange).

    Or try the new Otang freerides although I haven't tryed them myself but being freeride wheels I'd say that's the type of thing your looking for.

    My favorite wheels are currently my orange in heats. They are super smooth, fast, and have a nice old school feel. Similar to Gen 1 Kryptonics in shape and style. The more things change, the more they stay the same I guess(whatever the f*ck that means).

    Hard to say. But, I think the best I have ridden for all around riding is definately lemon big zigs (75 mm/83 a). I like this set up, big enough to roll over anything, and a mid range durometer.

    Otherwise, I have never ridden on otangs...Sector 9 nineballs aren't bad but take one heck of a long time to break in so those ain't going far on this thread.

    But, big zigs rule.

    its hard to pick one for a complete all around.
    pink powerballs are amazing to go sideways on, but I'll chunk my vote up to s9 race form. they grip, they slide, and they don't fight with you. 69/74 for a little more grip, 70/76/81 for more slide.

    I love my Inheats (80a), they give me all the grip I need but I broke them in and man, those things can have a fun slide. They give a great smooth ride too. I wanna try out the knew Otang Freerides and the Lime Retro Freerides though. I'd say either of those 3 are in my personal fav for best all around wheel
