Default Sliding an Evo with Freerides or Flywheels?

I just recently discovered the fun of doing slides on my Evo and was wondering if I should stick with my 78a 83mm Fly's (which I fear I'll flatspot) or buy a set of the new Retro Freerides. The slides will be done going around 20ish to about 35 give or take. Should I just stick with my Flywheels or go with a set of Retros?

stick with the flies, avoid letting your board remain perpendicular during a slide and you will be much less likely to flatspot.

i love sliding on my evo and i have both 83mm 78a flys and lime retro freerides
and i love the feel of my flys over the freerides.

just keep them wheels spinnin and you dont have to worry about flatspots
