I'm trying to learn sliding to stop on my longboard...
Which wheels would be best NOT to develop flatspots whilst I get the hang of it..?
Don't want to go through 10 sets of wheel$$$$$$$$ practicing........
Oh, I have Sector Nine Nine Balls on my favorite setup right now (78A)
also:
Flywheels
No-Skoolz
and Gumballs 'lying around'
oh ya, some BDS Shogo Soft-Pours
and BDS Dub-Cons, maybe? I'm hearing good things about BDS Shogos for slides...
Any recommendations, fellow longboarders?

| in general, the softer the wheel, the faster it flatspots. all wheels will flatspot. i will email a local downhill/sliding expert i know as he is a great slider. |

| yeah, ive seen those in action. mid 90 duro wheels are probably key for serious sliding |

(Clip...not opening for me..?)Yes, Cliff is king in sliding for sure! I heard about the Cliff Colemans, but was apprehensive for the durometers...But yeah, Abec 11s seems too sticky and anything not made for sliding prolly will flatspot...
I'm wondering if the duros on the Cliff Sliders will feel too slick? Doesn't matter, I guess, I need some that perform...
