old superballs? do they have ridges? or are they just white? They still make the white and i think when I get a new set i am going with those. See if they wear different than the colors.

They are the old round skateboard looking wheels. Slide different then the slide A's.

I think I'm hooked now...I went out last night did some flat land sliding. Just getting down the toe side 180. Lot of damn work in my flat ass hood. I need on of those bungee cords so I can practice out front

Any local have one?

**Jerzey@AdvancedSlideLabs** · 03-18-2010 03:34 PM

the 56/82's they still have.

and I remember the smaller slide A's now that i saw the pic. 65mm slide A's are the new thing. and he was talking about making a 70mm some time back but i don't know if they are still doing it.

Hey guys, just so you know I am going to shamelessly plug my buddies shop right now.

Here are his exact words about this deal:

I have my first tech slide set up on the way

Earthwing Drifter, and S9 slide forms

Im just curious where to start, and how is the slide compared to soft wheels?

I think you're talking about the Park Forms@101a duro. They're the only things I saw on their site. I'd guess that they're probably fine for sliding given the duro. The hard duro wheels are the best for learning how to slide in my opinion. It's like skating on ice. Just remember that you'll need fairly smooth pavement for them. The junky stuff that soft wheels eat up will totally slow you down on harder wheels.
You might check out Earthwing's site for the Slide-A's and Rainskates for their S-65's or Stingers. I have the S-65's and they're like ice.
I've also heard good things about the Sergio Yuppie Sliders from Gravity, but I guess they're out of stock..... BLEH!!

This is very true. I have the EW Slide A's on a Drifter w/Indy's. It's a killer set up, but only for sliding. It's painfully slow if you have to push anywhere on rough pavement. It really suprised me. They are wicked loud too. It sounds so dope when you break them free!

**Lunesta** · 03-20-2010 10:47 AM

I got the slide forms from a trade..they say slide form on them....hmmm

**blstndwn** · 03-20-2010 12:25 PM

SICK! I always wanted to try those! NO FLAT SPOTS so they say. Saw some S9 guys shred on those! I WANNA TRY SOME!

**Jerzey@AdvancedSlideLabs** · 03-24-2010 12:28 PM

I just got another slide deck. EW 34.5 drifter and some Indy 169's since I found out the indy's on my 35.5 are 149's

So now I'll have 2 set-up's for people to ride at the next clinic! woop woop on spare boards!

Hopefully soon I'll have a rayne agent to slide the f*ck out of too!

That's gunna be my next slide deck

**blstndwn** · 03-24-2010 02:28 PM

WTF! 3 tech slide decks! YOU WHORE! I felt like a pimp with to sick set-ups! Im touchy about loaning my slide decks. Its not hard to flat spot a wheel then I'm out 35 bucks! No problem loaning out anything else!

**Jerzey@AdvancedSlideLabs** · 03-24-2010 03:04 PM

you can buy individual slide A's from some shops. I know stoked does it so if you get a flat spot on one wheels, thats where it's at. plus you can lathe them down if need be.

I just want to get more people tech sliding out here so I'll loan the #### out of them. Except to you.. Cause you will flat spot them haha.

I gotta get another set of Slide A's for the new board since I gave them all to you guys. damn i forgot about that. oh well gives me a reason to get the new 65mm

**blstndwn** · 03-24-2010 04:29 PM

IDK about going bigger. I like the slide of 58's over the 62's. Slides faster. Wanna try 65 on freeride though! Get BLACKBALLS! MWHAHAHAHAA

**Jerzey@AdvancedSlideLabs** · 04-14-2010 11:26 AM

Who wants to go out sliding this week/weekend? I need to get out my frustrations
Would prob have to be mill hill though cause I don't know how my ankle will handle the speed.

Also wanna try to get some film.
