wtf, I've only had them like 2 weeks. I just started sliding about a month ago. just fyi to the people who say these are "unflatspotable", that is utter bullshit. you're clearly just not going fast enough

When the wheels stop rotating, that's when you start getting flat spots. Generally this happens when you're going slower, not faster.

There's no such thing as an unflatspot-able wheel. Earthwangs are the slickest slide wheels out there, but they will flat spot if you're a) not keeping your wheels rolling while you slide (ie: long Sergio's when your wheels are stopped) b) not rotating your wheels when they start to wear c) Constantly sliding to a full stop

guys, plox.....

at first the earthwings flatspot pretty easily, just because of their shape, just keep sliding them and they'll become boxier and less prone to flatspotting

just learn to use your trucks with no wheels. I hear those slide pretty sick. And no flatspots
