@Logan Neikirk S9 sells them on Amazon for 50$. There's a few place that sell them still. I think it's the best formula they ever made no matter the core, I've never found a wheel tha...
Race formula wheels are still for sale on a few websites and in my experience they have better slide characteristics than the other S9 wheels. Both the round & square lip are very freeride-able...
Equipment in general is really important in DH/freeride. If you feel you can dial things in better than you should 100% Blake your equipment
Been skating runs in Santa Fe. Let me know if you wanna hit some laps
@Matt Needs Wheels Yah to be fair I've never bought seismics & I've been riding them most of my lyfe
@Matt Needs Wheels warehouse skateboards (online) has 78mm blast waves in defcon formula for 71$ if that helps at all
@Jefe W ok fair enough, I haven't tried Deltas. Thanks for the input. The formula is based on the DEFCON & is very similar. I'm still riding the same defcon speed vents I got back in 201...

Looks Sick AF. Good choice of Wheels
Footbreaking is generally more dangerous than sliding at high speeds, especially without brake pads. You slow down much slower than through sliding, and the chances of a serious (key word SERIOUS) ...
@Logan Neikirk there are many boardshops online selling the raceform S9s right now. I've seen them in the past few months being up for sale for as low as 31$ a set fresh skin
@Logan Neikirk You can get S9 raceforms for cheaper than all the wheels you mentioned. & they are far superior to the wheels you mentioned, even the other S9 wheels they are Halal...
@Logan Neikirk Icey Haram Powell Wheels will never be Halal & the only formula that is Halal for S9 is Raceforms
@Logan Neikirk nothing made by pantheon or Powell is halal.. they are all Haram brudda
Looks fairly good minus the Powells
It's a make or break year for Downhill Skateboarding. I'm pushing 30 years old, and I've been skating gnarly roads for the majority of my life. It's a make or break year for downhill skateboarding....
@Tino Elter Sabres aren't bad. They are Terrible. Atrocious.
@Nick Amarit Okay than chop off the kicks if they aren't important.. tho really they add a placement for the feet and change the ergonomic platform of the board. I digress but of course when...
