Good suggestions guys, I was wondering if any of you have tried these?

I am very curious about the soy based urethane.

Soy based wheels

Who'd a thunked it!

Would look forward to a report on this if any hippy skaters are brave enough to try them out in between hugging tree's and bouts of herbal self medication!

(seriously I would like to hear if these wheels are good/bad/indifferent)

I'll never ride Seismic's greasy urethane again. The only time I've ever eaten shit racing was on Seismics—rear broke free and back flipped me onto my head.




I bet it wasn't the Black Ops urethane.

I have those too. Not a fan. Horrible coning on them. Still greasy. Kind of like Dan.

If you don't have a lot of big hills you might want to look at wheels in the 66mm size. A lot of downhillers run that size on slower more tech courses. I'm a big fan of Seismics Black Ops thane.

I am looking at wheels in that range. This place is pretty flat so I do a great deal of pushing as well.

I want something in the 66 or 67mm range so my kick is not to stretched out.

Earthwing, Gravity, Seismic, ABEC11 all have wheels that are downhill worthy in the 66mm size.

Yeah I have some of the ABEC11 noskullz in the 87/88a? formula but when I am on them they seem a little harder.
Kind of slippery for my tastes.
I think the next wheel I roll will be something more close to 80.
I am new to this wanting to go as fast as I can down a hill with confidence thing so I want as much grip as I can get.

If you want some ABEC11 wheels for DHing that are in the 66mm range look at the Retro ZigZags. You need a square lipped wheel to give you traction in corners. You can get the ZigZags in a lot of different duros.
