[mason buckley]

ok so i wanted to know

what is the difference between grippers and sliders?

do grippers grip good?

and

do sliders slid good?

haha

and

say you buy proto wheels off of someone on sr and they dehubb can you get them replaced??

grippers have softer urethane and sliders have harder urethane there is honestly not a big difference you can tell when your riding or anything

I can tell the difference with my sliders. Since they're harder they don't absorb quite as much impact as grippers so landings feel a bit harder. And they're reeeeeeally fast. It's not like you're in actual danger of sliding out with sliders though. Common misconception. The urethane is a bit softer than green machine wheels, for anyone who ever rode those. I used to ride GMs all the time, and never slid out.

[edy boi]

"sliders are like 420a" - rob. lol

id say if you must get protos, grippers are the better choice.

 

[Billie Rainbow]

i reckon sliders are more grippy than any wheel out there and they are supposed to be the slidey ones. i personally think they are perfect.

[Anthσny]

if your sketchy deff go for sliders, and grippers slide more than sliders, the eurothane has almost a wetish feel to it, you know what i mean if you have them
