why don't more people skate with bigger wheels? I'm talking 60mm and above.it feels so much better to skate when you're not trying to balance precariously on little tiny baby wheels, where even a speck of dust will send you flying.
>>247103Because I pop my tail
>>247105This. Big wheels are heavier and worse for slide tricks. Also, stop making threads that could have been a post in /esg/
>>247103to the kids these days, anything over 54mm is considered too big.>>247106/esg/ is literal cancer I can see why he wouldn't post in there.
big wheels heavy small wheels lighttoo hard to flippy dippy with heavy wheels
>>247103bc my trucks arent rocks
>>247108>kids these days>/esg/ is literal cancerlol, lmao even.
big wheels are actually making a comeback
>>247103wheelbite
>>247103wheelbite, the pop, some skateboarders actually do this believe it or not, sliding on ledges etc
just wax the wheel wells you guys lmaoand maybe use some lighter trucks
>>247103Among other things (wheelbite, heavy, etc...) I find big wheels have too much lateral traction to do anything difficult. You land weird and they stop all horizontal motion completely instead of sliding a littleBut everyone who actually skateboards to get around has two sets of wheels. If you are skating miles on 100a 50mm wheels your city either has perfect asphalt or you are mentally retarded.

>>247105fpbp OP exposed as kook
58s are about right, trucks with a shorter wheelbase will help offset the steepness for pop (ie ace, venture v8 but I haven't tried them yet idk if the wheelbite will be bad)
I only skate 56mm and up. Mostly 60mm slimeballs or oj's. It does make some things harder but I love the amount of speed you can sustain on big wheels. Plus they just look cooler.
>>247108>to the kids these daystrends on this have swung back and forth a couple times. the desirable wheel diameter when i was a kid in the 90s was around 40mm. just completely ridiculous for anything other than pristine smooth skateparks.
