larger and harder?

I've been looking at wheels the past couple months and I can't find a slide wheel that's 70mm+ and upper nineties duro. The hardest wheel I've found is the ABEC 11 70s Flashback at 92a or the Striker at 88a. Slide A's, Rainskates, etc... hover around the 62 - 65 mark but once a designated slide wheel gets bigger (Retro freeride) the duro jumps to 86.The infamous Orange Freerides I find too grippy for what I want to do (tech slides with a larger wheel). It seems the larger the wheel the lower the duro.

Has anybody ever seen a 100a wheel over 65mm?

The reason for big wheels and hard duros is because they wouldnt be practicle. If you want to do tech sliding your better off just going with slide As.

Yeah you would lose grip, but these 62s don't get very fast. It would be nice to see a 70. The speed of a 72mm would be sick.

Gravity Supersliders 72mm.

I think you can get them in 95a.

I have a set in 90a that aren't worn down too bad, if you're interested.

Thanks for the offer but I think I'm going to order the 95s. Thanks for letting me know. I knew there had to be something out there.

Gravity still sells the super sliders?

And from what I've gathered from a search...most people didn't particularly like them. But they fit what you're looking for, so might as well give em a shot

You're right, they're discontinued. I may be S.O.L.
