abec 11 no skoolz, they make them pretty hard which would be good since you said you were sliding a lot.

Yup.

Retro is made by Abec 11.

Lemon Big Zigs are incredible. 83a durometer is great for sliding and not too hard for all around.

ya orangatangs are sick, but they are NOT sliding wheels unless you are crazy ill at sliding, so if you want something to slide on, i dont recommend the tangs

mehh, fraggle muffins got it right.

there not tested enough to really be trusted too much if your gonna have one set of wheel's. at races and slide comps i never see anyone using them.
