depends if he wants buttery or icy
lower duro tends to be more buttery

higher duros usually means more icy

no actually it has  nicer slides if they are a lower duro

nersh big 80s were the original name for money hax

then they were money hax

also,

a 76a wheel will suprisingly break in easier,

and unsurprisingly have a much much much much much smoother slide than a super wide, square lipped hard wheel

nersh formula is notorious for gripping more in the harder duros, and sliding better in the soft..

you just need to go faster

if you want a hard sliding wheel, get some rainskates..

i am thinking about getting freeride wheels (abec 11 freerides or strikers) cause i have only done a few slides on my 4pres and i am not a real heavy bomber, instead of getting a set of DH wheels which i would use for medium bombs and using the 4pres which still have a nice lip on them for sliding

they got a lot of hype in america, cant comment too much about them myself though,

seem like they slide really well,

just go fast and slide your money hax, they will break in pretty quickly

If its your first set of gloves, its probably a better idea to just make them as you'll likely destroy them pretty quick. Better to destroy a $5 pair of popes than $70 worth of purpose made slide glove...
