Hi there. Changing the wheels on a surfskate is a matter of preference. It also depends on the surface we ride on. For example, I'd rather use the original soft wheels on rougher concrete for comfort and grip. The ride felt sluggish in the bowls with the original wheels and I felt like I was working harder to maintain speed. Switching to harder wheels made me feel like i was moving faster and allows me to slide more easily. In regards to not knowing how to use the original wheels-you're probably right.
Why change the wheels?
Should I use the original wheels?
I think you don't know how to use the original wheels?
