Alva Wheels for Sliding

[scabus maximus]

I recently picked up some Alva wheels for my future sliding deck. I believe they are the "Scratch" 65mm/95 duro and appear to be a center set hub. The future deck will be a Gravity Team 36 and some Indy trucks(149's?). Anyway, I was wanting to get some input on these wheels for this application. Your thoughts......

Sounds alright to me.

Well, it's no surprise that Alva wheels are hard, he has always been into that. They oughta slide fine, eh?

have the same wheels in 97a (bluetile?) they absolutly suck for sliding. but thats not realy a fair test becuase i suck at sliding. they might be good slide wheels but i cant get them to break loose very easily. when i do they SCREAM loud as heck. its realy annoying.

i might not have been going fast enough to slide them well.(im also pretty light at 145 so that may explain the difficulty with getting them to break loose)
