Anyone recommend some cruiser wheels that are "easy" to slide but still ok to ride around on?
I know it's probably more a matter of technique & practice more than anything but if I could break the traction at lower speeds it might give me more confidence to throw myself into it a bit more - there are a few great mellow-ish hills near my work I envisage myself carving down cool as you like but it doesn't take long to get way beyond footbrake speeds, bailing & running like fuck while desperately hoping for the best is not really an option, haha
