    I got a set of these to learn to slide, but also be a plush cruiser on the way to the hills. They actually took me by surprise when I started sliding while just carving one of my regular hills, haha.

      I’m not surprised! I think you made a perfect choice for your application

    Thanks for your review on these Byrons. I was kinda deciding between purple Krimes and Byrons. But, from your review, I think I am probably more of a purple Krimes kinda guy.

      Purple Krimes will have skin and lips that to break in, if that changes anything

      @@owencampbell777 Yeah, it does, but for the better! I love breaking in wheels without rotating them. It forces me to have to do switch toeside slides.

    LOL dude the “we all collect gear to the point that it may be more than what we can ride” - yes 😂

    I just bought the green Krimes too! Intersted to see how you like those, I haven't tried them yet. Also, how are you liking the prism trotta? I see you riding it more and more in videos.

      The Trotta is fine. It’s a little too short for me - I’d prefer if the standing platform was an extra 3 inches longer. I’ll make a review one of these days

    Hey Owen, I have a 6 year old who likes to cruise with me. He wants to start getting into downhill/freeride. He can go about 25 mph max right now, for him to increase his speed would you recommend me buying him a smaller wheel 65mm or a larger wheel and what durometer should I get to maximize his speed. He weighs 50 lbs.

      I’m not sure I can ethically give advice for how a 6 year old can go faster, haha.
      Generally, big wheels = faster, but it has to be a high quality urethane. 72mm purple Kevin Reimer Pro wheels from Powell Peralta should be appropriate for speed AND sliding if they are adequately broken in. If you want a wheel that slides good out of the package, 69mm Powell Snakes won’t be much slower.
      I suggest you and your kid should work on shutdown slides and board control before going faster. Learning to slide and footbrake is a safety technique, not a “trick”

      Also, lighter riders naturally go slower. This is a big deal at some downhill races where there are long straights and few turns. Heavy riders will have a great natural advantage.
      50lbs is very light and wind resistance will add up drastically. Your son will get faster as they gain weight.
