Earthwing Slide A's

[Jerzey@AdvancedSlideLabs]

Slide As are great wheels. But in my PERSONAL experience, they may not be great for people starting out. You obviously aren't, but just as a word of warning for people, they are really ####### slippy. You gotta be able to control your slides to use these wheels effectively. If you're JUST getting into tech sliding, Slide A may be a little too slippy for you to enjoy.
2 cents.

That's how you learn faster.

Like when your parents threw you in the pool and said "sink or swin you little bastard!"

It's gonna be like shopping bra sizes pretty soon. Get me some D cups up in here.

So Brian should cook up some Slide B+'s?

Ahaha that would be great.

But ya, I'm not trying to diss Slide A's, they are a SUPER rad wheel. But if your starting out and don't plan on doing 1080 flatspins your first day on a slide board, some slightly softer, but still tech slide appropriate wheels MIGHT be more fun for you. With Slide A's, if you don't know how to do much of anything, it's very possible to find your self on your ass over and over cause you might not be hooking up when you'd like to. This may turn you off tech sliding a little, which would be a shame cause it's such a fun side of skateboarding. But some, for example, Retro Skwertz might be hard enough for you to understand what tech sliding is like, but still form a solid foundation of 180s and 360s before jumping into the Slide A stream and doing the crazy slides you see all the EW guys doing.

This is just how I see it though, maybe you do have a throw him in the pool attitude towards it, nothing wrong with that. Just a different method.
