My new skateboard wheels goes slow?

Answer:

Loosen the bolts to were the wheel can wiggle about a cenimeter If that doesnt work get something above abec 5 i have abec 7 and they work perfect
ok, well the way your wheels spin have nothing to do with the wheels (actually, a bit to do with the wheels) but moreso the bearings. now, if your well aquainted with the parts of your board, you know that the bearings are the doughnut shaped bits that go in the wheels that make them spin. n now i dont know what type of bearings you have in you board, but theres always something that can mess them up. like, for example, did you ride through any sand or dirt? because thats a no no, becuse they stuck in the bearings and make you go slow. oh, and they can get rusty too, so dont leave your board outside too much, lest it get waterlogged too. i would suggest some WD-40, which, im assuming, is a type of lubricant, because my friend sprays some of that on his bearings and he rolls fine, but i cant gaurentee that. and try loosening the bolts, you could have over tightnened them XD some bearings i suggest are : Reds-- theyre good, lightweight, and very cheap for how good they are. theyre vert bearings, so theyre made to be fast i would suggest lucky bearings, but i had bad experiences with those (i once bought some because i thought that since they cost more, thye work better.wrong choice.) and finally, Bones Swiss bearings are, by far, the best bearings i have ever had. but that doesnt come with a heavy cost (the ones i got were like 50 bucks XD totally worth it) ive had one board for two years now, and those Bones still spin great! theyre also made by the same ppl who make the Reds, thyre vert bearings, and extremely unnecessarily good XD good luck kid.
