I have Riviera 70mm wheels. Mine are pretty soft, which helps since I ride around on bad side walks all the time. It allows me to roll over bumps easier then a hard wheel would. I love these wheels, and I plan on getting another set as soon a mine are worn out and i have the money.
As for my deck, I currently have a cruiser deck, it's rather short and wide, unlike a traditional "Long" board. I can't find a picture of it, but its about 36 inches long, and about 10 inches wide at its widest point. Very good for navigating around city sidewalks. I plan on getting a longer board this summer so that can ride down logn steep hills with ease.
How bad are the sidewalks, and how much of a difference would you say it makes?
ReplyDeleteSide walks are pretty crappy, deep bumps and cracks every few feet. I've riden on harder wheels, and the difference is amazing, not only when it comes to how smooth the ride is, and how fast you can travel, but how your feet feel after you are done riding.
ReplyDeleteCompare walking on gravel barefoot, and with thick soles on. THAT is how much of a difference it makes
Those are great! I street skate but I have never used one of these.
ReplyDeleteI'm not going to lie, I have a secre3t love for long boards. Where I come from no one seems to like them
ReplyDeleteGood to know :)
ReplyDeletei used to inline skate. perheps i will buy a longboard. seems like interesting stuff
ReplyDeleteNever knew anything about long boarding, this site is full of useful info !
ReplyDeleteHey just remember if you get bored of getting wobbly feet from the sidewalk you could always ride a bike!
