Grippers vs. Sliders?

[Ellie]

What's the difference? Which is better for parks/streets, lasts longer?

also how are phoenix wheels?

 

[bmlum]

sliders are hard wheels, grippers are softer. personally i like sliders for street and park. like the name says they are amazing for power slides and they last forever.

grippers
pros: they are grippy, they wont slide from under you, feel nice and soft to ride
cons: the dehub fairly easily, sometimes even doughnut

sliders
pros: nice and slidy for powerslides and grinds, last a long time
cons: chunk pretty fast, and they slide out from under you alot

i got sliders and i regret the purchase, get vert x wheels, heard nothing but good about those wheels

edit: grippers are traditionaly for park, and sliders for street, but these are not any definent walls, like dylan kasson runs grippers and hes all street

Sliders r good for street grippers are good for Park

I've always had sliders and i ride park, they aren't slippery at all, don't be a pussy. Phoenix wheels are garbage.

Grippers dehub, sketchy or not. Phoenixes feel like a flat tire. Sliders are the BEST wheels ever. I have 1 chunk the size of an ear piercing after 7 months, and I ride friggen drops and sets. Never slip out on me, and nothings really wrong with them, but apparently I'm clean. I think mine are starting to dehub, but I'm getting another pair, definetly get these. They're still really grippy when you need them to be, slide when you want them to.

Gotcha! Thanks. I'll get a pair of Sliders next time. I currently have grippers right now and they seem fine riding on pretty rough ground.. haha

[Oliver Laver]

none are better than the other!!!! sliders are used for street and grippers are used for park, end of story.

They last ages not as good as grippers for park though, but they still work

I run Sliders for street and concrete skateparks... and only run Grippers at indoor (wood) parks.
I hate the way grippers feel on concrete and asphalt...too soft, squishy and quiet.
Love Sliders
