Posted this on Skaters of the erBB too, but figured I'd double post because I can.
Yo - I have a this:
Carver Pointbreak with C7 trucks -- that I ride at the park. It's fricking great for the snake run. Way more stable at speed than a short carver but can still rip turns like a mutha.
I took off the big wheels and risers and went to Carver 58mm 90a Carver roundhouse park wheels. Which have sort of an old Rat Bones profile but they're a bit wider. They're a bit slow though.
I now want a set of wheels that are a bit harder and faster - say 95a maybe - but not super slidey. There's not actually much out there.
There's these 59mm 95a Rat Bones - but again, not as wide.
There's also these 56mm Slimeballs. I like the width but they're 97a hardness - so maybe not grippy enough to pump. They make em in 60mm too but I'm a little worried about wheelbite if I go that big. The 58's on the board now give no wheelbite.

Oh - and another question:
Does the fact that Andy Anderson wears a helmet actually make him more punk rock than nearly every other skater who refuses to wear one?
