I recently bought an Arbor 46" Pin w/Koa topsheet. I purchased some Revenge Trucks (www.revengetrucks.com) and I was wondering what wheels and bearings I should get. The Arbor and Revenge trucks are both designed for some intense carving. I want to purchase the right kinds. Thanks.     Rate post 239140 !

They grip around in turn I throw at them! It's almost impossible to slide out on them unless tou ride through a big puddle, but that's the only way. The only problem with them is the DO NOT slide. If you slide them they chunk out and get flat spots which makes it pretty hard to stop which is no good if you are riding in the streets. Has anyone ridden the harder ones? Are they quit as grippy?     Rate post 238921 !

I can't say that these are 'light years' ahead of the competition, but they Do seem Faster. It'll take awhile before I can wring them out thoroughly, as RAIN has dampened most attempts at sk8ing here in New England lately. 1st impressions though are that this wheel is most everything a Slalom racer would want, and modifying the shape (as done with other wheels) seems like it may be a moot point. They're fast, and pretty sticky, even on less-than-wonderful tar. Very smooth. Nice stuff from ABEC 11, yet again. :-D     Rate post 238110 !

Not only are they grippy but they feel as though the speed is more like a higher duro but grippy like a lower duro. Great job on these wheels Chris.
