Motion Boardshop Longboard Wheel Clinic

http://www.motionboardshop.com
This longboarding tutorial is brought to you by motionboardshop.com.

There are so many longboard products on the market these days that the buying process can be overwhelming. We wanted to make a video to help guide you so you can be sure to buy the set of wheels that is right for you and the way you'll be using them. There are a variety of durometers, widths, sizes, eurythanes and configurations when it comes to wheels and we've tried to break it down into simple terms.

There are riders who may disagree with what we say but we're just trying to provide you with a general guideline based on how the manufacturers intended the wheels to be used. Obviously though, there are guys who will bomb hills with slide wheels and do just fine.

We have many more videos on the way to give you the basics on trucks, bearings, bushings, decks and other accessories. If you have more specific questions, don't hesitate to call and talk to an expert today.

its so hard to review wheels for sliding because it's all personal preference, for instance you may love mayonnaise and think that i should eat it and nothing else but i hate mayonnaise it reminds me of semen.

@qUiCkScOpExGoDz you JUST got them it means because you need to break them in and maybe you need to learn to slide. you sliding on flat or a hill coz you can only really slide on a hill

@theasianpearexpress haha i know now lol, and ya i wasnt sliding right at first but now i can hit like 20ft standez lol

[theasianpearexpress]

@qUiCkScOpExGoDz dont look at it as different amounts of slide. different colours represent different hardnesses. harder wheels tend to slide easier than softer ones because the softer ones are more gummy and can deform more in hard turns. now there is theres a smooth surface on the wheel called mold release which is very sticky so first day of sliding might be a bit harder. wear that away and its super easy to slide. i'd say you might just not have the right technique
