Wrong.

Are all the streets in cali complete shit? (Proto is based in Cali, isn't it?) Harder wheels are faster on smooth surfaces because there's less friction. Softer wheels are faster on rough surfaces because there's less resistance. Experience will tell you this but skaters/longboarders have known this for awhile.

Sorry, *From my experience* sliders are slightly slower than grippers. But the streets here are actually shit so..

Riding on shitty streets with hard wheels is definitely the worst. I have those North Atlantic roads so I'm familiar. However, my town just happened to do a huge project in which pretty much the whole city got paved. It's been a dream with 88a <3 But trying to ride on uneven sidewalks and such of the like... the scooter just bucks around like a motherfucker, I definitely had an easier team with softer wheels.

Am I the only one who hates calling our self a pro scooter rider. Or when people ask what kinda scooter you have and you don't feel like saying all the parts so you just say a random name complete.

never chunked or dehubbed any wheels until my tilt wheels, chunked both them in three weeks then they sent me new ones and those chunked in two weeks. Then they fucked up and another pair randomly came in the mail and i havent ridden them yet, liking my flavor awakening wheels

No clue why you wouldn't bail the scooter to the side at that point. I understand shit happens fast, but damn, get away from that thing and focus on falling. Coulda been awful.
