Longboard Wheel Review: Abec11 Grippins

The Abec11 Grippins are one of the most versatile wheels out there. Throw'em on your Downhill Board and you'll feel safe gripping and railing crazy turns, but even in the 75a you'll be able to slide them out like butter on ice for that predrift or shutdown. Put them on your Freeride Board and you'll be pulling slides left and right, but still having full control. Don't worry about coning or flatspots, they're center set and you can rotate them around, flip them and everything for even wear. These are also great for your commuter board, being 70mm they'll be at home on your smaller boards, throw these on your Frequent Flyer, Super/Mini Glider, Ethos, Fattail etc. and you'll be flying over cracks and bumps, and holding grip dynamic slaloming around freshman on campus. 

The Abec11 Grippins are wheels you can put into any setup and it will work, and work well. If you're looking for a wheel for a setup but don't know if it will work. You can't go wrong with Grippins. And even if you don't like them on the first setup, they can easily work for any other. If you're looking for versatility, and consistent performance, get a pair of Grippins. Remember, slidey in the high duros, grippy in the low but it will still be able to slide well even at 75a.
