I'm very interested. I've had the same idea for years. As far as testing, I weigh 145pounds, I'm a smooth, technical rider. I ride a lot of transition ramps with coping like half pipes, hips, spines, vert, etc. I do a lot of original combinations with tricks in an out of grinds and stalls. I do a lot of manual lines and tire spins. My style will test its grip, smoothnes, and strength, ultimately its overall control. I have a video in my signature.

I hope your work is a success. Good luck!

i reckon its a good idea but needs to be thought out very well.. like what im thinking is these wheels wont last as long as metal cores or even plastic cores.. they will tear.. even doing basic flaground tricks... coz urethane flexes... and if u keep flexing that will make the urethane crack.. better off just hot glueing plastic cores...

i would love to test your wheels. i have a park at my house and ride everyday. i break alot of wheels so i think i would be good to test them. here are some videos.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWaOyQpRVI0... i am the first clip in the video. i have black shirt grey pants. and orange bars

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFeX-i6vIHA... im the kid at 00:43 that does the handrail.i have on a grey shirt and tight pants with a blue helmet. there is other clips later in the video of me

idk if it would perform well because as a comparision to skateboarding wheels, scooter wheels are much more narrow and have a much bigger diameter. That means that it will tend to be more fragile when landing crooked and stuff like that that happens while riding a scooter. It will need to be harder than normal wheels too, which means that it will tend to chunk up more and slide out more frequently.

those are all variables to note while designing your wheels.
Deff. worth a try though, if it turns out good, it might end up being a pretty big breakthrough in the scooter wheel industry.

Yeah. I can kind of picture instead of dehubbing, them cracking or tearing along the axle. there is probably and ideal hardness bracket that may make this possible, but good luck finding it.
