minimum durometer for sliding

**p0rk** · 02-25-2004 05:05 PM

is 80a 85mm kryptos good enuf for sliding or do i need harder wheels?

you can slide with those if you are just going to be sliding to a stop but if you are going to be doing technical slides you will want something harder

the kryptos slide very nicely when just penduluming tp control your speed but you want something 90a ish to de technical stuff.

is there an echo in here?

no way man, after you slide some horizontal grooves in them, you can do quite technical stuff on them.

The faster you go, the more slidey your wheels will become.

what i meant was once you get going fastish the kryptos can just do quick slides to slow down slightly but not dramatically.

no way man, i can do quick litle 180s to control speed, little pendelums, big pendelums, pendelums to stop, you can do anything on kryptos. i mean, they kick so much ass for drifting around corners, but in no way are you limited to little slides.

One hundred meeeeeelion durometer...

I think Spitfire just brought some out.....

**joseph** · 02-26-2004 04:38 PM

i can pull tight pendulums on them.

**Longboardloser** · 02-26-2004 06:14 PM

I can pull 17640's with them.

blue krytos r nice sliding wheels I learnt how to slide on them. Theres quite the big hill near my house with a right turn, started to get used to going into the turn with quite the pass till one day gunning into the turn they drifted and that felt odd never done that had to ease on the pressure and crashed into the pavement, tried it a couple of times again and had to get used to coming out the slide but never really got into it just got myself some new cherries that stick and they stick.
