Can you still hop curbs and do stuff like that with these? I am looking for a thicker slick that will allow me to still mess around with little jumps

Absolutely. I often ride on gravel roads, my only fear is falling. I have aproximently 1000 miles on them, no flats. I weigh 180. Grip on pavement is awesome,I often counter steer corners at 30+ mph.
1349541
oh yeah. i weigh about 240lbs, with 60psi (which is more than recommended i think), and jump all kinds of stuff on the road. no problems yet, great tire.

Easy, it's a super durable tire. I've taken them on mild downhill trails, though gravel trails, off rocks etc no problems. Also put nearly 400KM on them around the city this year.

I think the tires are rated to handle 350 lbs. They are meant hand pit holes and the city streets. Ive put a beating on mine and I am 6 foot 250 pounds

I jumped about 5 curbs today on them. I had 45 psi in them. no problems yet. I was unable to run tubeless as they would not seal to the rim so I have tubes installed.

Oh yes, I love these tires. I've even done a little single track MTB with them on some trails. Nice grip on pavements and Corning. They can take some abuse

They fit nicely on my fuji cross pro but I never take them off road. I wouldn't trust them. They seem fragile. I have beefier wheels for when I'm needing to go off-roading. I do use them for commuting. My route is not the smoothest ride... curbs, railroad tracks, etc and they've held up great for 2 years now. GL

It's definitely something you'll have to build up. Also, with softer wheels, such as the ones that come standard on these, it'll be more difficult on asphalt or uneven surfaces. If you have any bike paths, I would suggest starting out there to build up your ankle muscles. I noticed my legs bowing at first so I would say these have lower support than some other brands. Hope that helps!

Yes you will, but they do not have asmuch surface area or grip as true platform pedals.

You should be just fine, I use them for my del sol which is extremely low. Also these ramp are amazing and do not slide at all.

I've ridden it around the block and also over rough asphalt, and it is generally ok. I would say it's about the same capability as a skateboard or inline skates. If it's a bump that you wouldn't want to ride over with your skateboard or inline skates, it won't be easy with the Sbyke either. There's a possibility of changing the rear wheels to larger wheels to go over bumps better, but no one at Sbyke has answered my question about what's the largest wheel size it can accommodate, and whether a larger wheel will affect handling. Another potential issue when riding over sidewalks is if you cross sloping driveways, it takes some finesse to keep it under control and not let it steer downward the sloping driveway.

The better the board the fewer the bounce it's I think. These are better than the long tips though. My favorite tips are the Tefo x tips they are a little longer but very sturdy!

I'd suspect you'd get some decent resistance. I have firm thick grass, so it's not a problem. The contact area of the wheels are not very wide, especially the rear wheels.

Not really.. this board is more for cruising than freestyle. Along with that, the wheels the board comes with are extremely gummy. They're quiet and grippy, good for cruising, but bad for sliding.
1876735
yes, but as I mentioned they are hard wheels, meaning they are not of the soft variety that roll over cracks and rocks well. The board is great. I put softer wheels on it so it would be smoother for my son. Still, it is a great to learn on if you find a smoother surface, or are a pretty good rider already. Soft wheels durometer 78 (cruising) , trick wheels durometer 90-100. these are prolly durometer 99.

Easily! But you will need a good quality wheel! Also, there is no guard so a firm grip and face shield are recommended.

I think that would be a good idea. Just whatever you do, get something with better traction than this style!

I first started with a bearings upgrade, which totally changed the feel of the board, then I threw on a set of Gullwing Sidewinder II Trucks, I don't recommend those trucks in particular due to having two kingpins, and the board has a big disadvantage with wheelbite with these trucks, and a bit of speed wobbles. I suggest a set of Paris' or something of the like.First, I'd start with bearings, and just work from there:)

HighI like them because I don't need to use risers. I find risers get it in the way with nose and tail slides. I've been skating since 1997. Hope this answers your question.

JC, I did not get the handle/stabilizer bar. I had no prior experience and I was able to do all the moves on the trampoline without any difficulty so I cannot personally see the value in a handle/stabilizer bar. I am fairly athletic with good (maybe excellent) balance. If a person was not as sure of balance then maybe a stabilizer bar would be good to start with.

Hey Brian. The grips are not smooth on the outside. They are strong, porous foam that is grippy. Smooth would feel slippery but these grips are definitely not smooth. Hope this helps you. Aloha

These tires certainly fit nicely on your first THREE requirements (primarily road, fast rolling, and strong :-) , but the tires do lack any meaningful tread pattern as they were not designed for off road or turf conditions. That said, as long as the dirt is packed down and dry, I have been able to occasionally hit the dirt, but of course don't push these in corners because lack of knobs.cheers, Joe T
