im not sure whether to get soft wheels or hard wheels for my skateboard.I usually skate street but sometimes i go to the skatepark and drop in with my friend.Can you tell me what soft wheels and hard wheels are for.thanks.And can you tell me some fast wheels for street skaters to.thanks
soft wheels are for grip and a lil smother ride. hard wheels are for speed and i think they give a lil better pop and feel when u land
Softer wheels are more for vert skaters and longboarders, because they give you grip and you won't slip out as much and they usually are size 57mm and above. Harder wheels are more for street skaters because they can slide on smooth surfaces and they can deal with big impacts more than the softer wheels. Wheels don't really give you speed, it is the bearings inside of it that give you speed. The best cheap bearings are Bones Reds, they are great and very popular because of their performance. For street skating, usually 50-54mm wheels with a 99a density rating will be best. You won't need different wheels for skating park, but it is whatever floats your boat that matters.
