I decided to get these in a hard duro (not positive, but I think I got 88a) with the hope that they would make it easier for me to learn some more technical slides. Total dumba$$ move. They have zero roll speed, a very hard to define slip - grip point, are way too icey, and are awful on anything but the smoothest pavement. If anything, skating on these wheels reenforced bad habits, and made it harder for me to transition back to actual decent wheels. Maybe a decent wheel for pool type skating (not sure, as it is not something I do) but I cannot recommend them for sliding, freeriding, carving, cruising, or basically anything else. Get Cult Classics or Flashbacks (depending on what you want)

got these a few months ago, and love em. i have them in the 81a duro. took a min. but they slide good, and for a slightly harder duro grip almost as well as a 78a. i bomb hills, duhh, slide, and hit a half pipe every once in a while, and use my board for commute and just skatin around

I have the 96a version. They break free incredibly easily and just keep sliding. Not a great cruiser of course but for sliding you cant beat them! Incredibly fun!!

I didn't buy them from DBS, but I have a set of 88a NoSkoolz and I find them much slower pushing on streets than my Powerballs or DBS stock wheels. They'd be good for sliding, garage riding and pools/parks, but definitely not for commuting/cruising.

whats the difference between 94a and 76a? Dan Loveland Writes - 94a is the 'durometer' or hardness of the wheel. 99a is rock hard and 76a is super soft. The typical longboarding wheel is 78a durometer.
