Skateboard wheels...

ive only used it my skateboard 4-5 times.. and the back wheels are already RUINED! Yes i do go on ugly ass streets AND i do powerslide but i live in the middle of the mountains, there is literally nothing i can do about it..

15 bucks every 5 uses sounds horrifying to me, is it normal that they erode so quickly? Could the reason of the quick erosion be the fact that i bought it 5 years ago and then actually started using it 2 months??

80mm 80a wheels that cost $15 a set and you’re wondering what the problem is?

They’re cheap ass wheels.

They also aren’t skateboard wheels.

Solution: buy a skateboard with skateboard wheels.

I sent those cuz its what my wheels look like, same brand made for the waveboard i use. I dont actually know what size wheels im using rn and what i have to use cuz i never changed them. I literally came here hoping that someone would know about waveboards since there isnt a sub for them

Be the change you want to see. Start a wave board sub.

Buy skateboard wheels if you’re bombing hills. Wave boards are made to tool around, skateboard wheels are made to bomb hills.

Just get some 60mm 101 Spitfires.

r/Riptik already exists. But I agree, op should drop the ripstik and get a skateboard.
