These are by far my favourite wheels! Ive slid on kryptos, reflex freerides, seismics, classic freerides and durians but these are still my favourite (i dont own loads of wheels, stick to one!) The slide characteristics of these wheels are simply indescribable, The grip to slip ratio for me is just nice, when i want them to grip they do. Basicly they do whatever i tell them to do. The slides are smooth! and the hook up is very distinctive, i felt like once my pendulum is done, it automatically hooks up, and i didnt have to pull it back or use extra effort to bring it back (unlike freerides). The only downsides of these wheels are the horrible wear patterns (maybe its my technique? need some confirmation) These wheels wear out really fast! And if you start getting a flat spot, you are fucked, cause its kinda hard to get it out IMO (unless you have a lathe). I was riding them til they were like a motorboat and i stopped riding them cause i got pitched off one time cause of the horrid vibration it was causing. haha. Would definately get them again! Just that if you wanna keep on using you gotta have the cash, cause i would just throw them away after they start being "not fun" Anymore. I got my set for free when some friend of mine thought they were "not fun" But was fun for me! Conclusion - Distinct hook up with Really smooth slides, but wear down pretty bad if your technique isnt 12342315% perfect. But the Slides are amazing !

I rode this wheel regularly for about six months and it was amazing for slides. Super buttery and very controlled slides were the norm for this wheel, but they coned pretty fast. After six months I can take one of the wheels and roll it on the floor and it rolls in a little circle on its own.

These will do anything from downhill to powerslides and carves with ease. They are much more suited for flatland freeride than the 86a and they can still throw long standups above 20mph without issue.Also they arent as loud as the 86a. They will last as long as abec 11 freerides or any other slide wheel. People who complain about durablity and then prase abec 11 freerides are very stupid. These are wonderful all around wheels and are very high quality.

there are not to many wheels out there that you can even compare these to when it comes to sliding. i have had these wheels for a while now and can say that they slide like butter across bread but still give you that satisfying sound. if you are looking for a wheel for freeriding than look no further

BEST WHEELS EVERRR!! really nice for sliding. If you're looking for a wheel that grips and slides like no tomorrow, GET THESE!!
