in what aspect are mid duro wheels good for ?
if i wanna cruise i'll ride 78a-87a, if i want to street or park i'll ride 99a-101a.
everytime i have a 90a-97a wheels it's not hard enough, or not soft enough and never good in any aspect, just a middle point which is never great in my mind.
I just like how it feels like the beginning. They aren’t faster, but they feel faster because of the inertia retention and it Gives me confidence. When I bomb a hill on a fat 58-60mm 97 or less. Especially switch.
I’m like I just did a hit of the original stoke I discovered in the 80s. It rules my entire existence. I got like well over half of my entire experience on softer wheels. The nirvana kick doesn’t come so easily on a hard wheel especially with loose trucks on the ground around here.
I wish I could just skate plazas and ride skinny ass tablets in some city but I’m like just spontaneously wacking whatever gets in my way. Doing kick flips and impossible. Switch front 3s if it’s a good day. Lots of switch front biggies. Back biggies. For grinders nearly every switch fakie or regular grind I do is a 50/50 or a 5oh variation cuz nothings waxed that much and I can’t stand still long energy to be bothered often. While everyone else is at the park or the diy in in the streets always. You know cruising the burbs or mashing across town to go get chores done or visiting one of my 3 favored curbs or wall rides. And soon the neck’s dock gaps cuz I saw they are back.
This is the way.
I can’t be who I truly am without a big ass soft wheel. And even who I’ve become now that they slide and don’t flat spot. I can only imagine what life with be like if we had a purple 58mm oh gee classic in 97 or 95 tho!
That wheel would be like the “good bone” wheel from courage the cowardly dog for me. I couldn’t ever stop spinning it in my hand when I wasn’t mashing my board skyward on an un mudded jersey barricade witha crowd of confused tourists looking at me all shocked
While I’m repeatedly beating and trashing a pile of the best dlx / bones bearings product that 2025 has to offer. In a 30 pound spikey jacket no less. And cussing my soul out for the one that hits.
When I get cremated I’m gonna have a box that has venture ti’s ceramic reds and fucking purple swirls on it. Be nice if it was also 95a. Make um light purple like my broken heart for what could have been had I not been smitten by the bloard at age 5.
That’s what these wheels do for me
