Bones Wheels Sidecuts

The Sidecuts profile features a slightly wider contact patch and a distinct shape that helps lock into grinds more securely. It provides a bit more stability than a standard rounded wheel without sacrificing the ability to slide when you need to.

100A is a classic hard durometer designed for speed and slide control on smooth surfaces like skateparks or polished concrete. If you primarily skate very rough asphalt, you might find these wheels vibrate more than a softer, cruiser-style wheel, but they are the industry standard for technical street skating.

The Original Formula is the classic Bones urethane that built their reputation. It is known for being highly resistant to flat-spotting and maintaining its shape and speed over a long lifespan, making it a reliable choice for consistent performance.

53mm is a versatile, mid-sized wheel that works well for most street and park skaters. It offers a good balance between acceleration and top-end speed, making it a safe choice if you aren't sure whether you prefer smaller, more technical wheels or larger, faster ones.

Yes, the 100A hardness combined with the Original Formula makes these wheels excellent for sliding. They offer a predictable, consistent slide that doesn't feel overly 'grippy' or 'icy,' which is ideal for learning or perfecting grinds.
