Rollerblade Question

I have been Rollerblading for a little while now and i have a problem with breaking wheels. I am using used rollerblades but i have broken more then one wheel. I think that all the wheels that i have broken and the lates time was my back right (i slide left foot forward). So what im wondering is am i doing something wrong that would make these wheels break easier? As a side note i do not feel that i am skating wrong they just seem to randomly break. By break i mean either split or big chunks fall off.

Any help will be appreciated.

You are riding some crappy poured wheels... A lot of generic wheels suck.... There's no problem with how your riding, just gotta buy some good wheels...  Nimh has an amaazing stock wheel now...but if you were going to spend your own money, Eulogy is hands down the only company that you should even consider buuying wheels from... 

Nothing compares, Eulogies will grip better and outlast almost any other wheel under similar circumstances.

you could order from aggressivemall or rollerwarehouse, they're like $27. If you wait a week, the new line will drop, all new wheels for you to choose from. What kind of surfaces are you skating on?

Oh, well then get the largest diameter wheels that can fit your frame. They'll last the longest, you'll move faster.

thats astounding, you must have skated really nice concrete or skatelite all the time. Th elongest lasting wheels i've ever had were midgames, but they gone noe. I use eulogys now.

it's all opinion really, some people love them, some hate. I only skated valos once for like 5 minutes and they weren't my size so I can't really weigh in here.
