and i dont know if i should swap them for big zigs
i want something that can i can slide easy but can grip the road when i need it to
you can slide any wheel. it all comes down to technique. just look at videos and work out the movements, then go and try it for yourself. also make sure you come out with us to one of the garage sessions in the city. no better way to learn than to ride with others with experience.
should slide fine once theyre worn, be persistant and they'll break in nicely i have a pair of seismic 85mmm blue took me ages to break em in but they slide verry well now
Pro's uses inHeats because of the shape. Shape edge helps with a more controlled slide.
Freeride wheels like Durians are designed to slide. Rounded edge and the stone ground finish means they slide straight out of the box. However, in a fast race situation, that slide might not end and you end up in the haybales.
