D3s and mongo? It's over.
Nobody skated those lame ass Mike V wheels, stop frontin.
Been skating 53mm Ricta NRGs for about a month now. Quite good, I suspect the word on the street that they're a bit faster may be true, might just be placebo though. Slide really nice on ledges, better than 101 f4s imo, similar to stfs without being too slippery like stfs or 101 f4s on most street surfaces. On certain types of ground they grip a little bit too much for powerslides and slide a bit funny, not sure why this is. They're perfect for most surfaces though.Managed to flatspot it slightly on a noseblunt on a ledge, not a dealbreaker but can definitely feel it a little on skatepark ground, how do you get rid of minor flatspots like this? Hasn't gone away by itself just yet.

I would guess that all of us have made do with shitty wheels at some point. Picking and choosing wheels is a luxury as far as I'm concerned. I might not be rich, but being able to always have my wheels on point is a small victory.
Nothing I do deserves more than an iphone camera.

was that switch ollie in a turban at 1:18 ?.....trend watch
I got some 57mm 78a clouds to replace my worn down keyframes, and I'm not that siked on them. They're really fast on smooth ground, but I rarely encounter smooth ground when I'm just cruising. I feel like the keyframes were faster on the rough stuff. I'm curious about those powell g slides though.
Anyone try Rain Skates or AltaLooking for something off the beaten path at this point...

Perfect compromise between a spongey cruiser wheel and regular street wheel.

Finally got to roll around on the Waywards today, I was right. Soft feeling 101s, like OJs (regular) and F4s, they slide nice, good chirp but in park they were slow, on regular street (that's rough as fuck on OJ insane, SPF, STF and 99a Rictas) these things felt great; I'd skate them if I was looking for a wheel to handle spotty terrain, even over F4s.
Finally got around to setting up some all black STFs that I've had for a while now that I've just been keeping on standby. After skating on some badly flatspotted pigs for the longest time, I completely forgot what it feels like to actually go fast with only a few pushes. Feels good.
europe's like the capitol of england and france and whatever
It sucks getting old.

[close]I prefer colored stf's over white ones, i think they are just a little bit faster and slide better.

That can be good or bad, more sliding out from tricks and a little more unpredictable at times. They are also loud as hell and on the streets they will rattle your teeth out.

I'm interested in the 101's though. Love the retro shape, but I'm worried that reg OJ formula will suck (only tried the insane-a-thanes, but I like those a lot). I think 95a is kind of hit or miss on weather or not they'll be fast. Those would be sick for skating a slippery indoor park though. Did Santa Cruz stop making 97a Slime Balls in smaller sizes? I can only find the 60mm+ ones now. If I could find those in like 54-56, would be perfect.
