trying to gauge what the cool kids ride these days
I got A1's but I'm not a fan. Honestly the hills near me are so damn chip sealed I don't even feel safe downhilling on big wheels and trying to grip lines so it's Green kebos and 88 Mcflys and chopped Magz for now.
I'm not cool myself, but i recently see a lot of the cool kids ride the la Paulade Polymers.
I'm a square lip fan, I mainly like riding Green and Yellow Kevin Reimers. The greens are my do-all wheel. They have enough grip for light DH runs, even with the skin off. They are also good at standup freeride if you're on a rough or slippy pavement.
I just picked up a set of 75.5 Mango alpas and I'm excited to try those out too, I hear they're great for freeride.
For a decent, budget-friendly DH grip wheel I've been going for the muirskate podiums / phat boyz. They did really well at maryhill for me.
Kevins (I'm afraid of grip)
@John Oliver purple kegals have been a go to that I honestly love, and kevos.
Pantheon karma's kinda haul
I'm riding Blank Wheel Co slates most of the time, good affordable.... I am the company. All tantalizing things. But I did set out to make a wheel I liked when I released them. Favorite wheel I've ever skated. Wouldn't have released them if they weren't
Grip? Mags
Slip? Mav pros
All weirdness aside with 88wheelco and the fact that my wheels are swirled, I've heard great things about them from all my homies. I also enjoy them.
Surprised no one speaks highly of the 77a happy thane wheels from Otang. The in heats were so good for open road riding. I imagine the kegals would be great too.
