I was looking at a website given to me by a buddy who quad skates, I found Hyper wheels, like Shamans and Witchdoctors, but what is best to ride for slalom? And what hardness to get since they are only rated in soft, medium, and firm?

Brian, get a set of Turner Avalons and a couple of sets of cambria's or Stingers and be done with it. We got the best stuff on earth built for us right here. Leave the quad stuff alone. TK

Mr. Kirby, Didn't you almost win the cyber cup on quad wheels?

TWAY,
Sounds like you are pulling an Arab and calling TK out? Maybe your last post should have been on the "Dark Side"!
Hows it going my brother from another mother!

I rode 62mm Stradas in 88 and 92 all day long at the Gathering II. I was being stubborn and did not want to change. I would have beat chaput if I rode newer wheels.

Anyone can beat me if I hit enough cones.

Tway, you are a very clever guy and quite astute. My love affair with the 62 mm strada wheel began when they were the only wheels out there worth riding. I never considered them a Quad wheel but a slalom racing wheel that quad guys used on occasion.Also I have only been skating for 2 years and really don't consider myself to be a skateboarder. John, you lose an awful lot of slalom gear. Can you please give a complete list of all the things you have lost over the years pertaining to slalom? That would be funny. T

I know he lost some Avalon 86s in Boston.
He'll never see those bad boys again!

Tom Peterson who owns Hyper / Kryptonics won a World Champonships on those back in late 60's - early 70's. (can't remember, but it was quite a while ago). There were (and still are) a few Quad teams training around here; in Cheyenne, Greeley and Denver.
While only a fraction of the size of Inline Speedskating, Quad racing is probably still bigger than slalom racing. Quad racing has been around since the turn of century and has quite a history.

isn't "Strada" an old name for 'Krygrip" ?
