    Default SPFs and Wood

    My SPFs are insane in wood parks. On Masonite I cannot NOT slide them out, which caused me to avoid from skating the minipipe. The bowl is just plywood which is better but I can still slide it pretty easily. Is it me or do other people have this experience? If the latter, what do you guys suggest? My friend was running 97A green wheels (I think Rat Bones or something?) and they were too slow it seemed.

    Wow. SPF's are way too slidey for me especially on dusty Masonite. Slam city. (And I generally just carve low.)

    i've never encountered that problem.
    mine tend to slide out pretty easily.

    might be because i skate them everywhere...

    Isn't this what you're supposed to put in a signature?

    Haha great response. What do you guys recommend indoors instead? I have some Powell Bombers PF, think these might be better?

    I have some SCS (Socal Skateshop) wing wheels 101a that are fast and grip great on wood - unusual amount of grip in fact for hard wheels. On concrete, I use SPFs, Speedlab IPS or SB Poolside favors-all ridiculously fast. I wouldn't dare trying the SPFs on wood, though. The speedlab and SB wheels may be grippy enough, but I've never tried them on that surface.

    agreed. Rainskates are great on wood.
