    i want the wheels in the front to have more grip, the back is what i slide around turns. why would any of you guys want more grip in the back?

    where is that guy with the doublewides in the back?

    it's gonna be really hard to slide the front out if the back is still gripping.

    given that most of your weight will be on your front wheels the front is going to stick regardless of wheel hardness but with hard wheels in the back the rear of the board is gonna come around on you in turns whenever you blink funny

    If my front wheels are sliding it usually means I mis-calculated. Couple examples, too much speed for the surface i'm turning against, or I cut the line too hard.
    For me an ideal turn is one that I only slide at the very end, if need be, and use every last inch of the road.

    there's arguments for both more traction in the front and more in the tail.

    Comes down to riding style IMO.

    There's also something to be said for being able to rotate your wheels more effectively.

    I've never used a spit duro set upon a speedboard but all the slalom I've skated has been on slit duro setups...I have a very bad habit of getting late and surfing the tail which does cone the sh1t out of wheels but having soft rear wheels has saved my A55

    yea, these are the new randals. the Hangers are nice, havent bent them yet plus the bushing seat is 20x better, and the baseplates are some of the cleanest casted parts ive ever seen.
