    Any recommendations for smoother wheels? Also does larger size help when going down small hills? The asphalt here is pretty crappy so even 95a hard wheels get stuck.

      well with skate wheels they’re usually small, idk you probably can’t go wrong with a lot of different wheel choices to just do tricks, I always had small (compared to longboards) and I remember having a few sets of rictas, idk mm size or durometer. I would get bigger wheels for skate wheels I think so they would be better for riding ramps maybe and I thought they had more wheel to wear out

      for smoother wheels just for riding around you could get a longboard or longboard wheels, muirskate.com was linked from the longboarding subreddit and seemed to have some nice sets

        I think i’m getting new wheels, the board feels light so it’s easy to carry. I get either ricta clouds or bones rough rides.

        I’d rather get new wheels than new board, though i live in hilly area so longboard could’ve been an option. I just like how small and light the skateboard feels.
