Skateboarding Gear and anything else that has to do with Skateboarding!

Warning: this video has a LOT of talking, though there is a considerable chunk of skateboarding in it. In this video, I acquaint myself with some 54mm wheels from Better Skateboarding:

http://www.betterskateboarding.com

Better Skateboarding Wheels claim to be resistant to flatspots, as well as being really fast. In this clip, I go over a set of 54mm wheels (I covered 49′s in part 1) that they sent me, and I offer up some footage of the type of skating I did on them for a few weeks… sliding, reverting, and other things that make your wheels go *skrrrrtttkt*.

All in all, I like the wheels… unfortunately, I had to cut the actual skating down on this part because I sprained my ankle off camera. Grrrr.

The song is “The Devil in the Kitchen” by Ashley MacIsaac.

All in all, Better Skateboarding makes a good, durable, classic-style urethane (as opposed to the plastic-like urethane from Bones STF, SPF, and similar formulas).

Coming up next will be a review on a set of 54mm wheels, also from Better Skateboarding. In the next review, I’ll focus primarily on the speed claim and see how they react.
