What wheels are good for.. - Skateboard-City Forum

itzchris · 08-13-2011

What wheels are good for doing powerslides, and like 180 pivots, and 360 pivots, etc? I was skating yesterday with this guy and he showed powerslides and fakie 360 ollies with a pivot at the end. My wheels won't do that, so I was thinking of upgrading. What wheels do you think work best? I want a wheel that can do powerslides, but a street wheel aswell. Mine I have right now are 101A Mini Logo 52mm Wheels.

First of all how well you can pivot has nothing to do with your wheels. If you want wheels that powerslide well then Bones STFs are the way to go.

Bones STF are ideal for what you want.

The beginners forum should come with a notice stating that they are the uber brands when it comes to that shit ha

I had some CCS wheels and they flat-spotted like crazy. Just got my element durathane. Haven't gotten to use them a whole lot yet, since I've been sick, but I'll keep tabs. They're supposed to not flat spot.

Well it is true...

caveman_boardslider · 08-25-2011

Bones stfs!! Then autobahn, then spitfire f1 street burners

yokohieixxx · 08-26-2011

I believe Bone wheels are best for it because one of my friends loves doing powerslides...etc and all he uses are bones. I also heard autobahns wheels are good for it too.

spitefire tall and skinny hard wheels are what I use they have helped me a lot with reverts on quarter pipes and cement, since they are tall and skinny means less area per cm for the wheel to have contact w/ cement or ramp, hard wheels also slide easier than soft wheels.

Ricta Naturals I hear are pretty good. But I use Spitfire Big Head Neon Greens 54mm

The wheels you have should be perfectly fine.

Ricta naturals and bones are all I fuck with.
