"Better Skateboarding" brand wheels, 49mm and 54mm Review, Test, and Commentary
By grimcity at 2008-03-26 12:16

Recently, one of the owners of a small, independently owned skateboard wheel company sent over two sets of wheels for me to review, a set of 49's and a set of 54's. Then name of the company is "Better Skateboarding," they can be found online at http://www.betterskateboarding.com.

In the review (consisting of two parts, running close to 20 minutes in total), I test the claims that the wheels they produce are fast and flatspot resistant. I hope you find the reviews informative, but keep in mind that when talking about skateboards and the parts they're comprised of, everything's subjective... different people look for different things in their gear.

Enjoy!

Part 1: 49mm

Part 2: 54mm

Thanks for that... I'll let it heal over the next couple of weeks, but I think I'll be back on in no time.

Also, I hope I'm not too talkative... I really like to put in as much information as I can. I was actually halfway finished with a review of a complete, but once I heal I'll wrap it up as well.

Yeah, my boy cats name is Bandit, plus me and the missus have a girl cat named Willa (we each named one of 'em).

I sprained my ankle on the big flatbar that I slide on in part two... I had come back to warm up with some different tricks and then start taping, but while warming up I lost my footing on the rail, jumped forward, and pretty much rolled my ankle because it landed sideways.

I should have had the camera on... dammit!

Greaqt review, in depth, and you tested them in realistic scenarios.

I went to the site, saw the other reviews, and liked what they had to say so I bought a pair of 52s.

Thanks for the review, I hope they get good coverage.
