Santa Cruz Slime Balls Vomit Mini II Skateboard Wheels

They are designed for both. The 97A durometer and classic shape offer enough grip for technical street skating while remaining hard enough to slide smoothly on polished concrete at the park.

A 97A durometer is a versatile middle ground. It is hard enough to resist flat-spotting and slide predictably, but it still provides enough shock absorption to handle rougher street pavement better than harder, competition-style wheels.

Yes, 53mm is a standard, all-around size. It provides a stable center of gravity for learning tricks without being so large that it makes the board feel heavy or sluggish.

The Vomit Mini II shape features a wider contact patch than a traditional narrow street wheel. This extra width provides more stability when landing tricks and helps lock into grinds more securely.

If you are skating on very rough asphalt or cracked sidewalks, you might prefer a softer, larger cruiser wheel. However, for general cruising on paved surfaces and skateparks, these are perfectly capable and offer a good balance of speed and control.
