New wheels! ❤️💜

So last night I tried on the Atom Juke HP wheels in 93a and I liked them. However, I wasn't sure that I was getting the most speed out of them for the effort I was putting in. I'm not sure if I should put this down to the fact that I might need harder wheels because I wasn't slipping on these ones, or the fact that when different hardnesses of wheels are used, there is a trade-off between push and roll, with softer wheels having more push and harder wheels having more roll. Because my current wheels (Atom Booms Firm) are softer, they have more push and less roll, but they're getting a bit too muddy when it comes to attempting to speed away from people, hence the desire to change wheels. That being said, apart from what I mentioned earlier, the Juke behaves quite nicely as a wheel, with good responsiveness, stability and control. Despite their being drastically harder than my current wheels, I found that they weren't very slippery (not sure if that's a testament to my skill level or not) and had enough grip to keep me from rolling places that I didn't want to roll to. I think what I need is a wheel with a bit more push, so I'm tempted to go just a little bit softer (88a or 91a) or even upgrade to an XX Firm Boom wheel, but I'll have to see how a full set of softer Jukes (most likely 88as) behaves first before making my decision.

IT'S BOUT DAY.

If you ain't first, you're last.
