Powell Peralta G-Slides 85a Skateboard Wheels

Great wheels. They get me around my old town's busted up sidewalks nicely

These wheels are sick- they are soft and slide with ease, and are soft enough to eat up bumps and rough surfaces- but they are also fast. So you get the best of both worlds. You can ride your board in more places without your teeth falling out of your head - and still slide !

They ride great!

These are not too big but I wish they were a bit thinner but, for a wide wheel on my 8 inch almost Mullen Yolo they fly on almost any surface and big sidewalk cracks and rocks are not a worry I play Pokemon while riding because I'm not afraid of pebbles. These gently roll over rough pavement and because they're only 56mm they Ollie just like my 58mm mini logo but they absorb more impact

These G-slide wheels have advantages over the ATV and DTF series.The ATVs roll smooth over almost anything, but will not slide for anything. Good filmer or cruiser wheels.The DTF smooths out most surfaces, rolls like 90a and slides like a 95a. But if you take it down a hill, it will heat up and get uncontrollably slick after a few long drifting slides. Great for what the name implies, ditches, but death on a hill.These G-slides roll smooth like 85a and slide like 88a, not so impressive. But they hold together and remain consistent at speed, so they are great on hills and not bad for cruising. They're another good option depending on what type of skating you're doing.

Grippy though they are slide wheels. This is my 2nd set. Even though very soft, still fast at the skatepark.

Perfect wheels for street skating. Smooth skating like butter. Perfect for street skating.

Love these. My favorite wheels and will be getting them forever more. They feel awesome, and yes they slide! Will get these over your normal harder wheel any time. 99a wheels drag ass. These are sturdy and can glide over a shitty street like butter, and you'll still be able to slide on it. Get the 59mm for cruiser setups and sliding longboard setups, and use the 56mm for your normal popsicle vert/street style setups.
