Perfect hybrid wheel! Review by Andrey

Rating

Powell Peralta killing it with their soft slide formula. I do both freeride longboarding and regular street skating. After a while I wanted a set up that can do both equally good. The issue for me was to find wheels that were capable at both tasks . Longboarding wheels are cushy and soft, perfect to go over debris, grab the ground on tight corners and slide on high speeds when you need them to but they are not good for technical skateboarding where you need to do powerslides and switches at relatively low speeds, they just don't slide. Regular street wheels slide good but are just too bone rattling hard and get stuck on small pebbles and cracks, too sketchy to bomb hills and ice out on high speeds, not to forged dreaded flatspots. G-slides excel at both, an answer to my prayers from sk8 gods! Street skateboarding industry should move away from 99d, 101d wheels if they know what's good for them. Softer slidey wheels are just so much more beneficial on street where they can go over stones, cracks and go faster cause imperfect surfaces don't kill your speed and rattle your teeth out, cushy to land on too. Glad to see Powell Peralta moving in the right direction, kudos to you guys for improving skating tech. (Posted on 7/27/2021)

I recently got back into skating after taking a 16 year hiatus, im my hay-day in SoCal I rode really hard wheels as the streets where very smooth, but now I line in PDX and our streets are super rough so i got these, they are super smooth on PDX streets and are really fast in our concret parks.

All of the slide! Review by Art

Great wheels that aren't too hard or too soft but still allow you to powerslide and revert without chipping or peeling! (Posted on 9/19/2017)
