When I had them I thought they were pretty good for sliding, but they wear down pretty quick. To me they were like bigger, wider freerides.

<p>well if your going down a really long and straight fast hill the roll speed from the larger diameter flywheels would account for a higher top-speed, so in THEORY the 90mm flys would 'out-roll' the gumballs, but that would be only in the instance that both of you were of equal skill, with equal tuck and equal everything...</p>

<p> </p>
<p>however if you knew how to draft and had a better tuck (or if you were on a road with corners, had better lines) you would 'out-roll' your buddy.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>hence: Wheels dont make you faster, you make you faster.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Example: When Merrick challenged me to a race for my board, we had to ride each other's board. My setup included 75mm 80a In Heats. his included 78a 70mm race forms. The hill started off with a long straight and fast drop. In theory, the In Heats were the winner for that section as their roll-speed was better, so i had trouble picking off his draft. i noticed the difference compared to me riding those wheels picking off someone with a smaller wheel (or a wheel of the same type). Thankfully i was able to outskill him and had a better tuck and took better lines through the following corners and was able to catch him and claim his board as my own. The drafting technique was difficult and took longer to catch and pass than anticipated due to the fact that the wheels he was riding were bigger and more suited to faster speeds, however i was able to beat him because im just faster. Keep in mind this was a board i have never stepped foot on before, and wheels i have never ridden previously.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So there you go, wheels do not make you faster, you make you faster.</p>
