hi guys, if you ride harder skateboard wheels on rough ground will they get worn out easier than soft wheels or does it just feel more comfortable. i like harder wheels better because of things like powerslides or tricks that wear the wheels down, but there are also some skate spots that have rough ground, i really don‘t mind the friction i just mind ifthe wheels wear down or not. so can i stay with hard wheels?
umm id go with soft wheels for hard grounds they last longer! but hard wheels you do have more abilitys with! so its a money matter!
No dudes, just no. First off, soft wheels on rough ground will shred up like a marshmallow in a wood chipper. Hard wheels on rough ground will make the board feel slow, and you'll get that whole vibrating foot massage thing going on. If you want a smooth ride with little wear on the wheels, you'd have to use longboard wheels, which of course are a lot harder to trick with. Medium-hard wheels are probs your best bet. Maybe a rating of 98a, something like that. Either way, if you powerslide a lot your wheels are gonna wear down regardless!
What will happen if you use hard? Will it matter? What's the worst that could happen. Live, be happy, be free.
