Crap Roads
I was driving around looking for some new hills to skate.And I found some Great long ones . But my only problem is that the roads are too rough to skate on, which seems a real waste.Is there any sort of wheels that I can use to beat this problem?

Car Tyres. Even with huge luge wheels a rough road is still a rough ride.

its about the contact area i think the harsher the road the less contact unless you got super soft wheels its gonna be a bumpy ride

Rough surfaces are a common problem...
This bank is ideal for practising your front side turns, on a massive scale, but natural footers need to watch out for where the transition ends, cause you need to look back over your left shoulder so you can see the grind rail that you need to ollie over, to get back to the flat. Goofy footers will love this one.
The surface of the bank is quite gnarly, but Ok if you use a suitable wheel. We recommend a 21" or bigger, metal-cored wheel, with air adjustable duro.
In the photo you can see where a natural footer missed the ollie bit, and ran into the grind rail, rather than over it. Could have been because the old sckool nissan deck is way too heavy for the trick. The preferred hardware is one of those newer decks without the extra weight of the full ladder chassis, such as a new v8 Jeep! "
(Sorry...could not help myself....)
