    There's your problem right there, you're riding s9's and kryps

    You need some of that green, might I say flashbacks?

    I would also have to agree. Flashbacks rule.

    If you would rather get your own wheels than the ones everyone else has, just make sure they are on the harder side -at least 80a, if you are commuting on the board. you want harder wheels so you can hold speed better.

    I agree.. 80-85a is a good comuter hardness.

    65-70mm wheels in 80-85a are good cruisers..

    Strikers seem to better for sliding and they're as good as flashbacks for cruising. So I'd say strikers.
