Default Wheels for Dervish. Sliding?

Was thinking of putting on bigzigs 83A, but I read a post where everyone said they were bad for sliding. Are Abec 11 flashbacks any good for sliding? How about Orangetangs, or sector 9 racewheels? Flywheels?

Powerballs, Strikers, and 70mm Superballs will all slide nicely. If you simply must have a sharp-edged wheel, get some lemon BigZigs or ZigZags.

What kind of sliding do you want to do?
There'll be different wheels for different styles.

powerballs slide very very smoothly. 66mm strikers is what Louis used to ride his dervish on and they slide really nice, too. but they board is not as comfortable to ride on smaller, harder wheels in my opinion. so, if it's a commuter, too, i would recommend big zigs. once they are worn in, they slide sooooooo good. there's a reason why they're so popular. don't let the fishlash fool ya.

Strikers 66mm 84a if you mainly want to slide, Flashbacks 81a if you want to cruise and carve as much as slide.
