Looking for SMALLER Penny or cruiser wheels..
**Do they even exist?**
**Few years ago I strated skating with kid(1st grade) and kid was lazy so I bought us some Penny wheels for our Boards and she (and I) are struggling to return to regular wheels..
-I have somewhat returned to regular wheels,, mainly cause I can't fit em on my shape decks I/we skate(early 90's decks etc)
**the issue I'm having is = these Penny wheels and others similar are SOOO FAST and I reach fast speeds on flat and it
makes going from A -to- B hellova lot more fun... |

Bones ATF, they have "kids" wheels down to 52mm. Or Powell Dragon wheels... a bit harder but still soft and smooth for cruising. |

Thanks man....
~These wheels are addicting!
-I already skate early 90's shaped decks anyways so I finally tried a pair of "CRUISER" wheels cause I'm old and skate to the store instead of walking or driving..
--Ive even learned how to kinda poweslide on them. Although I eat it cause they grip like a eff'n glove..
--bottom line- If you can handle NO brakes + NO sliding,powersliding or any landings that younormall Whip into smooth fakie roll away etc.
IF you can live without that on temporary situation basis,,,
THEN I suggest all skaters have 1 deck setup with these cruiser wheels..
Makes going to the Sev(7/11) for a big gulp fun again...
and obviously it doesn't effect grinds and busting some mannys ...
but anything more tech and you will pay in blood and flesh!
Cause THESE WHEELS ARE FREKING DANGEROUS..
**I busted out my deck with 5teh cruiser wheels on it @ local skatepark..Deck is a REAL-Tommy Guererro old-man reissue with Indy 159's......
***EVERYONE wanted to try and I said " you will get hurt bitches!!"
Sure enough young and OG skaters were HAULING-ASS going triple the normal speed and EVERYONE was eating it the same way cause the wheels grip like they are on rails...in the end everyone hated the board and I KNOW they we're all pissed..But secretly asked me where to get the Penny wheels lol. |
