when i first got these wheels i put them on my dervish , which was new at the time and it took me 3 or 4 days to get used to em. i tried to slide them the first 5 minutes i rode them. needless to say they bucked me off into my neighbor's rock wall , so make sure u break em in before you try to slide them , but overall these are the best wheels ive ever ridden ... EVER.

it might sound weird , but these wheels almost have moods, when your carving them they stay really sticky , but when u do like 2 slides , they kinda go into "sliding mode" and then they lose thier grip and slide like strikers. but as soon as you ride threw a puddle or dust em off with a few careful carves , they go straight back to sticking to the concrete , its great!
