The wheels I tend to reach for the most often are my Roll Line Grease 95a or ICE 95a Wheels. After that, it's my Rollerbones Super Elite 101a. Those are all 63mm wheels that are pretty slim, and they're a nice balance between slick and grippy, so th…

Those Imperial plates are all in stellar condition! And the boots look like 297s, which even used are still great rhythm boots. Those are all still more high end vintage skates, even today, and Sure Grip still makes parts for the Snyder plates. It v…

I do a lot of street/park skating, and one of my favorite plates is Sure Grip Avanti, which is a 10⁰, mostly because it holds up to everything you throw at it, and is pretty customizable with trucks/etc. They're also tall enough that the majority of…

They're not too big, they're just mounted so the wheelbase is longer. Not the end of the world, longer wheelbases are more stable, though not as agile. They're actually great for beginners, actually, because they're very stable and forgiving. Wheelb…
