    I disagree with you Fi-Fi, slide a's don't ever get grippier (for me at least). They get far more predictable and they feel much better when they are very broken in (squareish in appearnce). I have slid my friends newish slide a's and I honestly was really uncomfortable pulling a standard coleman, they didn't break very well, and when they did I didn't know what was gonna happen.

    I want to see some uberworn o-tangs, have yet to see any of those. I am working on mine right now, the inside is about 2-4mm smaller than the out.

    Never said they didn't get better. I was just saying that they were most slippery when broken in.(at least that's what i was trying to say.) I enjoy some resistance for sure.

    I always found that newer slide a's have this weird slippery feeling that have a weird push back/hookup thing to them, very hard to explain, felt like sliding softer wheels on like an inch of water (minus the water resistance).

    How do you all get your wheels so worn down? I ride everyday about 5 miles for the past 3 months and haven't even worn them that much.

    for me when i first get a set its like skating on ice in a rain storm. then when the shine is off they're about as grippy as a wheel of that design can be then theyre just right

    Weigh heavier and loose more traction.

    Just slide a lot, if I really wanted to I could probably core 76mm 78a flywheels in one day, but that's kind of a waste of a wheel.

    huge hills with alot of drifts, weighing alot, and getting gnarly

    i have no huge hills, neither weigh a lot, so I just get extra gnarly!!! I've got some wheels I need to post soon. Let me finish this set of slide a's I'm working on.
