Are tiny wheels better for flips and street skateboarding?

skateboarding wheels Add comments

I’m going to get a new complete because my old board just broke and i was wondering should i get slim and small wheels or average and slim for street and doing tricks.

yeah bigger wheels are better for vert, but smaller wheels are a lot better for street and most flip tricks
I would reccomend 48-54mm wheels if you’re skating mostly street.
Small wheels work well with vert but not as good as bigger wheels.

    i personally use small wheels because i skate street …what you get with bigger wheels is that when you try to do a kickflip or any other flip trick the wheels can come up short and hit the concrete ..with smaller wheels they wont do that because of there smaller perimeter .hope this helps out
