Sector 9 81mm Nineballs (80A)

Would these be okay wheels for downhilling, i mostly just bomb stuff and slide, i slide a lot too, i figured the 80A would be better than the 86 A in that sense. Anyhow, would these even be any good?

Believe those are the same as S9 81mm bomb hills... I have 80a's on my demonseed speedboard and while I havent tried any other popular wheels (83mm Abec-11's, HAWGS, seismics) I can tell you that I love them. The ride is smooth and quiet, and very fast. In tight corners they grip with the slightest drift if you push moderatly... With a really quick hard corner you could get them to slip pretty easily but I havent pushed them to the max.

Not sure about technical sliding, for that I think harder is better but for DH they are great and they will be pretty good for safety sliding and some basic slides... Although they are more of a DH wheel.

Also the 81mm size is a great mediun between high acceleration 76mm wheels and high top speed 85mm wheels.
