All this talk of dragons and soft sliders.
I want feedback from people who rode or ride 95a wheels such as nomads, slime balls, team riders (all nhs wheels).
How do they slide? How are they at the park and on crusty streets?
Even better if you can compare 95a to 93a dragons or spits
I have had all of them come through my hands and skated boards with them on, more just as a test roll once set up, than actually having them on my own board, but I think in the right situations, almost any wheel can be made to slide, more so by the skill of the user than the properties of the wheels.
Maybe just me, but I would take Spitfires over anything else, then Bones, even though the Dragons are almost too soft for general stuff, then the others, but the bigger Team Riders are an amazing wheel for what they are and some people love them for what they bring to their game.
Nomads are just a little funny to me - almost too slippery on surfaces I think they would be better with and yet a little too grippy on other surfaces I would prefer them to slide, so I am not a fan of the sets I have, which I tried on my own boards and took off after a couple of sessions.
Slimeballs are also another amazing wheel, usually more so in bigger sizes, as the smaller ones felt a little slow, but they hold up well enough and do what I needed when I had them on boards I skated, more bigger fun shaped boards, but they still slide and stayed more true than Nomads.
NHS wheels tend to flatspot more than Bones or Spitfire too, but any of them can end up with chunks out if the wheels hit something, or stop rolling but momentum keeps them going, just way less on Spitfires and almost none at all on Bones.
