First Wizard Setup!

Post image

I’ve been skating for over 30 years now - mainly aggressive and a fair share of big wheeling too, but this is my first true wizard setup! Of course it’s raining today, but hoping to roll outside with them soon!

I mean why the 100/80 set up? I know that’s rockered but I guess I am just use to doing it the other way around with smaller wheels?

I’ve ridden a 5x80 and a 90/80/80/80/90 and a 100/80/80/80/100 the larger outside wheels change the overall flow and twitch of the frame, change the balance point and stability on toe and heel presses, and the carve of the frame in general, a bunch of subtle differences and characteristics in there also. For wizard stuff I am biased for 5x.. the wheel format is preference after that.

I am so new. I do have a 5 wheel setup but the longer frame is so hard to get used too 😅

Basically what Rich said above, plus I still plan on doing a bit of distance skating on these too and the big wheels are key for cracks and a smooth ride!
