WHEEL FAQ'S

Durometer? What the heck does that mean?
Durometer is the degree of hardness of a wheel. The higher the number (i.e. 99a) the harder the wheels is. The lower the number (i.e. 78a) The softer the wheel is. We use the common Shore Scale A to measure hardness, so that's why you'll see the letter 'a' after each number. The maximum hardness for the Shore Scale is 100, and the softest you'll see most skateboard wheels is a 74a.

What wheels are best for carving/cruising?
For cruising you want minimal slip and the most grip so the softer the wheel the better.
Recommended Gravity wheels for cruising
70mm Drifter's (74a, 77a, 80a)
66mm Burner's (74a, 77a, 80a)
76mm Hi Grade's (80a)

What wheels are best for sliding?
For sliding the harder the wheel the better. The harder the wheel the easier and faster it will release into a slide.
