First time trying a slick deck, feels nice so far.
How are the wheels?
Did you pay full price for them?
Unfortunately I did.
So far they barely deliver on the promise of being an AT wheel. They technically do roll on really rough ground, but I can't gain enough speed for it to be viable and there's still a lot of notable vibration. Honestly I was kinda expecting it since it's not a new formula, but I had higher hopes for them.
Today my board got caught on a pubble or something at the skatepark and one of the wheels flatspotted, so now my board has the annoying flatspot sound and feeling.
I do like how they feel at the parks with the slide and all, but I might as well have just gotten the normal OJ 101a wheels. These wheels feel like 101a performance with just a bit less vibration. If you need an AT wheel, Powell Dragons (and Bones X Formula from what I hear, but I haven't tried those) are far superior in terms of its purpose, durability, and price.
I do still need to spend more time on them, so maybe my opinion will change but as of now I want Jeff Kendall to personally give me back my money :v
