your really going on on a limb when you call your company “better skateboarding“.. and you make wheels.
i mean wheels!! does anyone make good wheels? no. its impossible.. i want the comfort of 85as.. with the power and speed of an 100a + wheel. but better does make a better wheel, depending your taste. they are hard as all get out, speedy, and they will take your abuse all day. in fact. better will replace them with in 30 days if you blow them out. and i have not been able too. they are just starting to cone. a month later! at first i got some 50s. but that was just my mistake. 50′s don’t really work in nyc for me. to small, to hard. i settled on a set of blank 52′s. these i have been on for awhile. i popped on some spitfire 52s.. then back to my better’s. they were just. better. as noted though. these are some rock hard wheels.. better won’t say how hard they are. but my guess is on 101 or higher.
they come treaded, that shockingly took about a week or so to take off. these would probably rip in an indoor park.

next up will be a set of 51m 99a minilogo’s.. (by bones). want to try something softer for a bit.
