    Default Spokane boarders! Questions

    Alright, so I'm looking to do a little bit of sliding in Spokane. The dilemma. I have no idea how hard of wheels I should get. Seeing as we never get our streets swept, there are rocks and debris everywhere, something too smooth and I'm going to get face rash with the first rock.

    So, Spokane Sliders, what advice you have to give to me? Right now I'm just a cruiser on a Arbor koa pin with some gel wheels, but I'm probably going to end up getting a EW Drifter for my slide setup.

    Thanks.

    for a dedicated slide set up i would go with some 94a no skoolz thats what im runnin on my slide setup and they work extreamly well for the spokane envirement enough grip to turn and hook back up when you want them too but hard enough that they will brake loose and stay slidin too ... hope this helps
