    Default question on what to get

    hey all.. ive been given a chance to buy longboard stuff
    so i was wondering whats the difference between a wheel designed for sliding with a low duro
    as compared to dh wheels that are hard
    since i am looking for a wheel that i can bust slides out with ease and still be able to bomb

    i was thinking of getting soft strikerz or superballs, since i heard they slide easilly and still bomb
    or should i just get both hard 70mm stikerz for sliding and 78a 70mm superballs for bombing
    does any of this even make sense? sorry if im incoherent im high as a kite right now

    I would go with a set of 81a strikers. Fast, smooth ride, easy slides.

    you've got it backwards. high duro=more slide; low duro=more traction. downhill=want lower duro; sliding=want higher duro.

    what i meant was since the strikers were made more for sliding, then how would a lower duro on it affect it? on dh wheels that were designed for hight traction then how would a higher duro affect them?
