Abec 11 freerides are rubbish

Got the 81a wheels two weeks ago and have almost cored them. They flat spotted like crazy whenever i held out standy's, and once i got the flat spots out and free rode like normal they were almost unrideable again after about an hour. Buttery nice slide but such a waste of money and very overrated in my opinion. 

Im keen on getting some early swampy's or bluey's. Do they go alright in the free ride kind of things?

That's great actually Boomer. 

Its simple. Don't slide as far.

Keep the wheels spinning. Flat-spots come when the wheel stops spinning while you slide.

@ Riley- you said they were held out standies. Maybe just don't take a standy to a stop.
