ASRA - Australian Skateboard Racing Association

so recently i have been sliding some 4's (the four skateboard company cruiser wheels they are white 70mm) and i really like them but they slide too much and when i do big power slides they ice and chatter. i was looking for some wheels that stay smooth controllable and predictable for relatively big checks and powerslides. suggestions? also what durometer ?

81a classic thane zig zags are quite controlled and give you the perfect amount of drift through your slides when theyre not worn down. this is good for your predrifts and checks. when worn in they wont chatter

 

but when you get past the lip on the wheel, you'll find that you will be icing out quite alot and hitting the gutter

How can icy wheels chatter? 

aha dude zigs are fine when they are past the lip, if your icing out you just gotta learn to control it

Why would I not be serious about it?....

I already said they're nothing like the other Vault urethanes.

They're more buttery and predictable than my 81a freerides.

centerset abec 11 freerides are super smooth and dont make a sound. recommend them

Yeah matty zombies are great! i got a set of 2010 80a or 81a ones ( white ones ) of yate dawg on saturday and they feel like classic zigs straight out of the packet

I have heard many things about those 65mm vault wheels my friend has review them
