bra soft wheels are a joy to slide. u just have to give em ya nuts to break, man up. i prefere sliding 78a but have slide up to 86a and they both slide great just offer different breaking points. give the landy hawgs a go.
i personally love any wheel that used that mould, there are a few out there right now, hawgs, slashers, fu-manchu's and satori softies, its hard to go wrong with wheels like those as you know exactly what they are going to do in corners and when you slide them

on the o'tang site they reckon their a bitch to slide but hey im no expert. do they come in a higher duro? cos im really really new to longboarding and im only 13 so its a bit hard for me to spin a bigger board quickly

otangs come in 86a,
if your a little guy try some soft rainskates wheels, they are easier to slide them most other freeride wheels and have plenty of grip, i have seen guys use them as a ditch wheel and be very fast on them too, the hardest hawgs are probobly another good choice for you, specially cos you young and there is heaps of thane on them they are going to last a while

I was just wondering how hard they are to spin/drift but im about 5ft 10inch so it probably wouldnt matter and which would last longer?

they are a easy wheel to drift, i rode them when i was first playing with longboarding and they where easy for me to drift when i pushed them out, and easy to slide into 180, since then i have ridden other wheels which are identical to them with different thane and they are a very similar to hawgs easy to drift, very smooth and very controllable to drift with a butterly release and hook up, hands down the best drifting wheel in the world if you ask me
