Micro metal cores are cool for like the first month... they are way too slippery and wear down too quick.

I don't understand how you people break wheels so easily. Start riding faster, and break you wheels in before you start tricking them. I just had to switch one of my low pros that i started riding on Christmas, took awhile to break.

Did you ride any wood bowls or pools with them? I know you ride alot of 'crete. I would get towards the top of a bowl and my back wheel would slide out. Mine are so low now i don't bother riding them, they are so worn out. I have 100mm ones from over the summer, no print on them. I don't know if they changed the hardness since i got mine, because they started getting micro printed and shit on them a few months after.

i love yaks, they last a long time for me, it might be because i ride park and pretty small street (curbs, little banks, <7 stairs) and they are amazing compared to the last stock wheel i rode, which broke completely in half 360 whipping a small 5 stair the DAY i put it on.

Maybe you guys are lucky or something, or maybe you don't ride backwards that much haha.

I just wasn't at all impressed with them. When I first got them they were really fast and smooth but it didn't last long, at least on the back.

Do you get your YAKS off of messa motor sports? I feel the same way with you on the YAKS and thats where i got mine, so it might have something todo with that. My set only lasted abotu 2-3 weeks.

god too many rhymes.
i think yaks would make a good front wheel, if there hot glued. i just bought a new set of stock wheels, and there in the freezer, and im gonna leave them in over vacation, so they are nice and hard when i come back. the only thing is they came with bearings, and if im not careful taking them out, theyll break the spokes

Who else besides me thinks this? I bought a 100 Yak in the back (lol, rhyme) and it lasted me as long and maybe shorter than a normal wheel, and I couldn't use it till the very end because it was soooo slow when it started cracking. My 110 Yak on front is also starting to crack and I hot glued it, and I haven't even had it a year. My last front wheel lasted over a year, through at least 3 scooters.

So yeah, I think they're a waste of money, the only reason I'd buy them would be for the bigger size. Anyone else feel this way?
