    @Logan Neikirk Cal 7 wheels. I've only tried the ldp shapes, but they have been great for freeride. You can get 97mm wheels for as low as $35. I've been hunting around for ldp shaped wheels that are tall and skinny like seismic speed vents, but without the high price tag.

    @Logan Neikirk For learning on a budget, id like to note ez hawgs are a very underrated option, for a first wheel.

    I just work here man (wrongboarding)

    Check Baifo, new spanish brand selling in europe. Amazing price to performance and several solid shapes.

    LaPaulade polymers are also great if you want a fast wheel to freeride at a reasonable cost.

    Race formula wheels are still for sale on a few websites and in my experience they have better slide characteristics than the other S9 wheels. Both the round & square lip are very freeride-able. Here they are listed at 37$ a set.

    @BBL I like the cosmic cores ones, those cores suck. Biggest issue is s9 doesn't make them anymore, otherwise I'd have 3 sets. Great wheel I just prefer the new cosmic cores.

    @Logan Neikirk 

    S9 sells them on Amazon for 50$. There's a few place that sell them still. I think it's the best formula they ever made 

    no matter the core, I've never found a wheel that slides as predictable as race formula. Tho yah I can understand going for something cheaper considering its not the best DH wheels. They don't have the roll speed of the elite DH market

    @BBL oh I love raceforms and honestly they are my favorite urethane for fast riding (besides r.a.d god I miss red advantages). I got some scrubbed mags and they were terrible in comparison, way too slidey without any feedback mid slide. I think if sector 9 released raceforms with better shapes and new better cores, they could compete with lots of modern wheels.

    If anyone tried the La Paulade Plumes yet, please review them quickly. They seem like a good option.
