One of my buddies has them on his cruiser and swears by them. I pushed around on it and they reminded me of the old 64mm Krooked Zip Zinger wheels. Felt harder to pop than Keyframes or Spitfire Chargers, but also like they could roll over anything.

I have them, they're massive, heavy, do not slide, but roll over everything.

They are impossible to slide and a bit too soft for my liking, I prefer something in the 85a range for cruisers. My friend got sent a pair and he managed to chip off a huge chunk of one of the wheels from not doing much. But yeah they do seem to be able to roll over everything.

My thighs ache just thinking about how heavy that board he's skating is....
At least when you're a washed-out hipster douchebag in NY, you can milk it at some decent looking, hard to skate spots. In LA you're just a tan-lined faggot in a school yard somewhere.

I highly recommend the OJ kreyframes for a cruiser wheel, seriously can ride over almost anything and you can slide them if you put in the effort. Such a fun wheel.

gsosa is right. They are almost like regular wheels in feel. The 78a wheels are too soft to really feel as if you are skating. If yo just want to push and hope up curbs then go hot juice, but Keyframes are a nice all around ride.

I've gotten so used to my cruiser that any time I go skating, it feels like I'm barely moving and working twice as hard.

Do the Keyframes provide a nice balance? I want to regularly skate, but still feel like I'm getting somewhere.

big boys chip and flake because of their shape- them and keyframes are both 78a

keyframes have a more solid shape and smaller size options

and yes you can slide the big boys, you just need to go faster and lean more

Keyframes are 87A. I have a set of 54 mm Keyframes on my other cruiser and a set of 78A 60 mm Ricta Clouds on the other. Obviously the Clouds go nicer on rough terrain, but I think that's mostly due to the size. Sliding Keyframes is possible but by no means easy at all. They are really grippy. I really like my Keyframes but they are definitely cruiser wheels. "A nice balance wheel" seems to be impossible to find.

Rainskates makes a 57mm 98a wheel that I thought was a great all terrain wheel. Right now I have 54mm Succulent Dreams by sml (92a) for my cruiser board but it’s not easy to slide. The rainskates wheel slides very nice and absorbs the road pretty well.

Super Juice are good. If you're looking for a cruiser / filmer wheel, get those or the Keyframes. I wouldn't use either if you're looking for an "all-arounder wheel." You're definitely not sliding either of those comfortably. Closest thing I could think of are Bones SPF or some weird-ass 92a wheel. At that point you'd probably just wish you got F4's.

Do not get the Hot Juice, however. They feel alright, but will rip open from the core and make you eat shit
