pool/park/cruise on No Skoolz

**Terrorsathan** · 07-26-2009 05:01 PM

I just ordered some 60mm 94a No Skoolz for this purpose, am I gonna be happy? I think I will!

i had of set of these before getting more modern park wheels on my be40. they are decently fast in the wood park i skate, i hated the way they slid as they caught up unexpectantly. they did have massive amounts of grip. as far as cruising, not gonna work as well as softer wheels but thats to be expected, still they can work for it.

yea, I could have gotten softer, but ehh I wanted to skate concrete on em. I knew I'd have to compromise. These dirty pillows are plenty soft for this thing.

don't worry, you'll be happy

ive got a powell Popsicle stick with spitfire FI parkburners on it for some hardcore thrashing haha

They'll be good for pool and park, and just horrible for cruising on regular pavement.

i use the 60 mm 78a on my popsicle
in parks mostly pumping around resi sections ,smaller bowls and pools.
for an all around wheel i prefer the softer duro.
i have a set of bones 56mm spf that i never use for parks.

my riding is probably not able to tell any diff between hard and soft
i cant say the hard wheels are better in the parks just different.

hard wheels are much faster in parks. 78a no skoolz are really fast, but on the smooth concrete 97a and above are preferred.

If you're doing some really big air stuff, soft wheels squish out bad. I'll keep my F1 Parkburners for that kinda stuff hehe. These No Skoolz will be cool for 'concrete wave' riding.

do they squish on takeoff , landing or both
im right at the point where i am starting to hit coping alot.
i have locked in a few grinds but wonder how the feel of a harder wheel would pop up onto the coping.is the wider wheel like the no skoolz a disadvantage ?
or is it just the duro ?

in this video at 40-50 seconds in on the no skoolz.

YouTube - mesa jamo ceviche

my buddy sean used to roll 52 mm park wheels he did not like to run in front of me because i would run up his backside with the no skoolz.
in the vid of him i posted he has changed to 58 mm bones spf now he and i move at roughly same speed

check the vids side by side

. im on otangs for most of vid but same same

the volcom park at costa mesa has nice smooth crete but not to the point of being slippery like at some parks

I find huge/wide wheels harder to move around coping with.

**HailSatan1** · 08-06-2009 11:11 PM

i have the same wheels for the same purpose and im really happy!!!

thats comin from a clinically depressed loser!!

I was riding 60mm 88a noschooz for a while, I went up to 95a OJ2s for more speed. The Noschoolz gripped great and made my backyard ramp feel a lot smoother, but I've made a couple trips lately to a concrete park and my ramp is smoother than it used to be, so the faster wheel is better.

**surfdubs** · 08-14-2009 05:14 PM

yep, those buggers love getting caught on coping. new school type park wheels are just better, but if your only cruising around the park these are fine.

my favorite no skoolz duro is 78a, they were faster than my 94a in the park! this is quite the contradiction, as harder wheels are faster here, but theres something special about those 78a guys. i'm loving my sector 9 60mm 97a park wheels right now.

What's QFT?

It is an acronym for the words "Quoted for truth." Some other popular phrases indicating agreement with a posters statement are "I'll second that", "seconded", the always popular "tru dat", or the succinct "truf" etc.

Hope this helps!
