Locking in with more ease and style
od Fleur, Blue Tomato Shop Utrecht, Blue Tomato, 11. 3. 2020
The wheels actually made it easier for me to lock in on ledges and rails. I never tried rail skating before as it used to scare me. But the Lock-Ins made me not slip off the rail immediately. I could feel my trucks locking in more simular, instead of my back truck sliding off the whole time. I feel more secure skating these wheels. Locking in is made easier because of the assymmetrical shape they have. The outside of the wheel is slightly broader, which makes it harder to slide off the ledge. The opposite effect: you get stuck and my 50-50's, for example, got a whole lot longer and faster. Only disadvantage of the wheels is that they are very slippery. If you skate indoor, you can slide away easily. I do not feel this while I am skateboarding outside on (rough) concrete.
If you want to give your ledge and rail game an upgrade, the Spitfire Lock-Ins will give you that extra boost for longer slides and grinds. They give me that extra security to focus more on the trick and not on locking in. I have been skating these wheels ever since I got them and I am planning on getting a new set once they are done.
