(Not So) Hard Core
I've been riding these Bones ATF (All Terrain Formula)60mm 80a wheels for about a week. In a previous post I wrote about how much I liked these wheels. And I did like them. They had the grip and soft ride of a cruiser wheel but were slim and light and were suitable even for park skating. I really liked the ride of these wheels. Until tonight. When the core and wheel decided to go their separate ways. This is the first set of wheels that I have ever ridden that had a core that is independent of urethane wheel itself. This core technology is common place in many skateboard wheels today.

Wow! Never seen that happen before but I bet they don't make these wheels thinking about the force of a slappy! :)
No doubt! I'm probably guilty of gross abuse of their product, but dang!
This is prolly an overdue comment, but that instance of the core coming off the wheel, that happened to my 2 sets of wheels both of them 60mm and 78a. I guess cruiser wheels aren't meant for the repeated impacts of street skating. The thing is mine broke by i wasn't even using them for regular street skating. Biggest thing that i did on those wheels is a 3 set ollie.
That happened to me too. I broke two sets of 60mm 78a cruiser wheels. The core came off the wheels. I wasn't even doing big stuff. Just curb skating. I guess those wheels aren't meant for repeated impacts. I suppose that's why they called em cruiser wheels. =)
Thanks for commenting ARDENBAINO, never too overdue here! Like you and Kraston said, the manufacturers probably never imagined someone would be trying to shred on a softy cruiser wheel, but we do what we do! I assumed that by ATF all-terrain formula that they would be suited for just that, all terrains, found out the hard way they are not! Keep on skating! Thanks again, Jeff.
