... but with much more directional control. That's what these slim Stingers are like to me. I say to me, because how you apreciate wheels is very personal. It has to do with your fysique, your skate build and then your personal preferences.
I absolutely love them and I have to get me a set. I tried them out in the skatehall which means slippery, cement floor but as you can see they are moderately hard/soft (88A on a scale that seeems to run from about 74A = super soft to 98A = super hard). The hardness and slimness made them roll fast but the softness gave me enough grip to not slide in the fast curves at all. The wheels I currently have are also 88As, but they are wider and cheaper. The wideness makes them clunky in turns and makes them get stuck in other blockers wheels, the cheapness makes them slip in fast curves. Well, I think the slipping really also has to do with the wideness, because it means that I tilt them to the sides in my cross-overs sooner then the slim wheels, which means I reduce the grip surface.
So.. I don't own a set, but I got to try them anyways? One of our refs bought a set and is still deciding if he likes them. I have been considering them for a while now, but they are a bit expensive, so I hadn't dared ordering them yet. As soon as he posted that he had gotten them I rudely ordered some alone time with the cuties.
