    bad idea. once you wear through the thane youre dead. maybe the metal would be fun to slide on?

    in all honesty, which is better; 96a no skoolz or serio sliders? who was ridden both of these wheels for numerous hours?

    what i am thinking of doing is using my be40 with no skoolz for those huge high speed slides and using a shortboard i have for those 1080's

    i would suggest the noskoolz. they give a great slide, and never wear out. havent tried the yuppies yet, but they look kinda sketchy...

    i still love my 96a no skoolz, and my friend has taken them to 1440s and way beyond... but then again hes a wacko, so i dunno


    i enjoy them, although sliding isnt my main focus as much, but for high speed slides and stylin stuff, the noskoolz are fuuunnnnnnnnnnnnn

    I have 94a no skoolz and I'm not that impressed. I think they may be ok in the park or on a ramp. But for sliding I didn't care for them than much.
    They dont roll over pebbles easily and I got pitched on them, luckily I was wearing gloves. I usually land mostly on my hands.

    Sergio's are even harder but if Kai uses and recommends them well then that means a lot.

    I've got 97a street g's and the have the same problem as 94a no skoolz.

    I'm gonna try sliding some 90a street g'a when I can (I have the wheels, but the weather suc ks.

    88a strykers are also on my list of slide wheels to try.

    I felt a big difference in the 94a's to 96a... The 94as didnt feel as icey when slid, but they hooked up nicer it seemed. The sergios are icey and hook up nicely, just too small and chattery for my liking. My 96as seem to give a smooth ride despite their duro and I like them very much. Nice and fast. The street g's I'd expect would slide nicely as well, except that they would be more prone to flatspotting due to their small narrow contact patch. The 90a street g's I don't know about, but I think that may be too low a duro for "trick" sliding. The same goes for the 88a strikers: they actually have a somewhat grippy feel to them... Not for Trick Sliding... for drifting hairpins and such, then its a good duro.

    Hope that helps.
