We’ve gotten lots of questions asking for recommendations on what wheels work best with the brand new polished concrete floor at Rolla Skate Vancouver, so we thought there is no one better to help us out with this than Roller Girl! Below she suggests different wheels for different levels of skaters.
The floor at Rolla is grippy and most skaters will do better on a harder wheel. Having said that, we do suggest grippier wheels for newer skaters.
Durometer – This indicates the hardness/level of grip of the wheels. The smaller the number, the softer and grippier the wheels.
