    Default Bad sliding set up?

    Im not that good at sliding in the first place, but i think my setup sucks for it anyways. (Cosmic 2, randal 180, krypto route 70 78a) I was thinking about getting a hypercarve w/ randal 150s, what would be a good wheel for sliding for that?

    A hard wheel. high 80's for good safty slides, mid high 90's for HUGE trick slides.

    i see that you enjoy my wheels very much because you talk about them a lot

    yea, if you are building a sliding setup don't use anything in the 70's or low 80's

    I know they are pretty good wheels. Plus they are easy to find.

    a hyper carve may not be the best deck, if memory serves me they are flat, a deck with concave is more preferable but slides would b styling on a HC

    it all depends upon what sort of sliding you want to do. for safety slides and pendy's, those should get fine.

    but if you want to do some really long slides and trick slides such as 360's and all that good stuff, i would suggest getting wheels anywhere from 90a-99a. personally, i like to use 96a no skoolz
