Basically ovalizing is when you land to hard or the wheel takes to much impact and the bearings start to press against the metal around the bearings. And when is presses and the bearings hit the wheel metal sorrounding the bearing, it causes the wheel core to expand/bend from so much stress. You lnow when a wheel is ovalized when you tighten the axel as much as you can and the wheel still wiggles a tad.
