these or metro motion 80a? for good standies and general slides.

[LongboardingReview]

@LoadedOriginal1 both wheels are really good options, so good that its tough picking out a set hahaha. I would say the flashbacks, but either one will preform amazingly, flashbacks just happen to be a bit cheaper

do that flat spot easy ?

[LongboardingReview]

@forestfilms1 No wheel is flatspot resistant, and abec 11s are notorious for having wheels that wear really quick (which is what gives them their awesome feeling slides), but If you keep your slides under 90 degrees they should not flatspot!

I don't know if i should get these or not because i wanna get into sliding way more but i still like that grip when i rip around corners. I need some help should i just buy them and see whats up?

[LongboardingReview]

@thebigkahuna805 If you are looking for a wheel that slides well but still allows for gripping possibilities I would not recommend the flashbacks just because they can get sketchy when your trying to hit a corner going fast. If you want a wheel that can slide well but still maintain some grip I'd look at wheels like the 80a Stimulus or even an Abec 11 Freeride/Zig zag.
