Both of my last pairs of grippers lasted well over a year, one even lasted about 2 years. And thats back when ALL I used to ride was street. I love grippers, and I would easily say theyre my favorite wheels, but Im pretty disappointed with this pair. Its gonna suck if they chunk after just such short amount of riding since the warranty only covers full dehubs.

Why do people say that? Rails can be hard or boring and perfect ledges at parks are quite impractical for the average rider to use, I just use LOTS of wax and grind on marble and my curb and my district is fine

yeah theres no way you could do that riding well waxed ledges, you would have to ride like unwaxed ledges every day all day for like a year to do that haha
 
Do phoenixes last long because i like rapechunk wheels quick for some reaseon.

i have road them and grippers seem to be faster and feel stronger, i only like phoenix cuz they come in cool colors and come with bearings but my friend has a pair and chunked a big piece within 2 weeks so he got sliders...

if you buy 100mm phoenixes they will be fine
i don't know how many times i have to explain this, but since the cores are the same size there is way too much eurothane on the wheel, making it feel gooey and slower, but with 100s you don't get this problem.
 
My Sc8t 4 L1fe 110 wheel is pretty damn fast with the included bearings... which is kinda weird because I never would have thought some free bearings would be as good as they are
