Earthwing Slide A's

**slider_cg** · 11-03-2009 12:38 PM

Hey what's happening everyone?
Ive been sliding on a pair of OJ Juicy's for quite a while now. I've been getting brutal flatspots.

for quite a while now. I've been thinking about purchasing a pair of earthwing slide A;s, most likely the 62mm model. Good choice? Is there anything better out there?

Slide A's are simply the best! you won't regret it!

And you won't flat spot them

any wheel can be flatspotted....even slide A's though they resist better than most wheels

Yea of coarse they all can but your likelyness to flat spot the slide A's are how good? unless your trying to. I've pulled a 30 yrd. layback at about 15-20 (I'd guess) on worn out slide A's and didnt flat spot them. I know they aren't invincible but give the wheels credit.

not sure I could use 70mm but 65mm would be nice its not like wheelbite is an issue on a slide deck and more thane to burn is always nice

I'd buy a 65mm/70mm set for sure.

Yeah We have flat spotted slide A's. However they do have a buttery smoooth slide. I like the ABEC 11 No Skoolz 97a. They wear better for me. Others in my skate group prefer slide A's.

Dude you had me thinkin' I was going to see some 70mm Slide "a" formula wheels. I wish Earthwing or ABEC 11 would do this. That woulde be gnar. BTW I love my EW Bigfoot drifter.

**8ftbed** · 11-03-2009 06:28 PM

Brian, I'd jump on 'em just because and just in case.

**slider_cg** · 11-03-2009 07:23 PM

got the order, I was wondering what color - blue it is. I will get on the larger ones here soon, give me 4 weeks.

balls.

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.

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