Longboard wheels

There are many things to look at when getting longboard wheels, their size and hardness are two very key things. The bigger your longboard wheels the faster, it's simply physics, the bigger the wheel, the fewer rotations your wheels and bearings have to make to get you where you are going, thus less friction endured in your ride and a quicker ride. Though it may seem insignificant, your longboard wheels really are an integral part of your ride and can effect the feel of your ride quite a bit. Smaller wheels bring a slower ride, bigger ones a quicker one. Bigger wheels also provide a smoother ride and will often get you over a crack that smaller wheels would get stuck in. The advantage to smaller wheels is that they are easier to slide and less likely to get wheel bite (contact between your longboard wheel and your deck, causing slowing, often abruptly that can throw you off your board) if your wheels sit under your board, they are also easier to slide with. The hardness of the wheels will be discussed later on in our blog, so make sure to read on.
