So I was skating 52s all last year, went as low at 51 and it was fine. Two weeks ago I decide, I want to skate small wheels. So I set up my board and tested it out and I'm skating 48mm Plan B PJ Ladd wheels. And... noticed I was sliding all over the place. Being 30 years old I can't risk slipping out just cause of wheel size. I ordered some 52mm wheels later that night.
Point of this post: I didn't know that smaller wheels are actually slippery and less stable, I bought into the idea they made tech skating easier. Anyone have any thoughts on wheel size for street skating? I didn't realize wheels so important (and crucial to the set up), but they are.
